Nordic Spa Coming To St. John’s NL

August 2024 Nordic Spa Update:

After more property hunting it seems there is finally a 100% confirmed location for the Nordic spa coming to the St. John’s area. That confirmed spot for the spa will be in Portugal Cove–St. Philip’s which is good fit and not far from downtown.

 

The nordic spa coming to St. John’s is no longer going to be located in Blackhead as they were voted against opening there for a number of valid reasons. While that would have been a fantastic area for a nordic spa, there are plenty of other great spots here to build. I personally think somewhere close but secluded like the Ocean Sciences building would be a great spot for something like this.

However I suspect Shea Heights is the new location according to this CBC article and I also think that’s a good choice. Everyone makes fun of Shea Heights from time to time but it’s a great location, has wonderful views and still at the gateway to Cape Spear and downtown St. John’s.

If you manage to get in a fight on the way to the spa don’t worry, hit the ice baths for a bit and heal right back up.

Iceavik is the spa company behind it and I’m excited to see what’s in store. I really enjoyed my experiences at the Scandinave Spa’s in Whistler and Montreal,  and can see one fitting in perfectly here. I’ve been harping on and on about winter tourism needing a kick in the arse and this is one of those things.

Build one in Gros Morne as well!

Whaddya At?
