Where the rhythmic waves of the Atlantic meet the rugged beauty of Nova Scotia’s coastline, a new era of luxury wellness awaits.

This spring, in celebration of its 25th anniversary year, Fox Harb’r Resort unveils its fully reimagined Spa & Wellness Centre—an oceanfront sanctuary blending hydrothermal healing, performance-driven therapies, and immersive relaxation in one of North America’s most breathtaking settings. Led by the wellness design experts at Core Essence, Canada’s premier wellness consultancy, this transformation marks a cornerstone in the resort’s evolution and cements its position among North America’s leading golf and wellness destinations.

A Wellness Experience Like No Other
As the global wellness economy surpasses $6.3 trillion, discerning travellers are seeking experiences that blend rejuvenation with results-driven well-being. Fox Harb’r Resort answers this demand with a state-of-the-art hydrothermal circuit, precision recovery therapies, and treatments inspired by the Atlantic’s natural rhythms.

Already ranked among Canada’s premier spa destinations, the transformed Fox Harb’r Spa & Wellness Centre builds on its legacy with a carefully curated blend of science-backed wellness and indulgent relaxation. Designed for golfers, athletes, and wellness enthusiasts alike, this spa is where recovery meets renewal.

“This transformation is more than an investment in luxury wellness—it’s about creating a world-class retreat where guests can fully immerse themselves in renewal and relaxation,” says Kevin Toth, President of Fox Harb’r Resort. “From our hydrothermal circuit to personalized treatments inspired by the Atlantic, every detail has been designed to provide an unparalleled spa experience that aligns with the modern traveller’s pursuit of well-being.”

A Spa Rooted in Place & Design
Step inside Fox Harb’r Spa & Wellness Centre and you’re immediately enveloped in an atmosphere that seamlessly blends modern luxury with the raw beauty of Nova Scotia’s coastline. The warmth of aged woods, cognac leathers, and an earthy, neutral palette reflects the surrounding landscape, evoking a sense of both grounding and escape. Designed to be more than a spa, this sanctuary balances timeless craftsmanship with cutting-edge wellness technology, incorporating clean lines, seamless digital integrations, and heritage-inspired patterns that subtly nod to the region’s storied past. Every space is comfortable, inviting, and deeply restorative, ensuring that guests experience true renewal and relaxation in harmony with the elements.

“Our coastal setting offers more than just a beautiful backdrop—it’s a natural source of wellness,” says Joann Patriquin, Director, Spa & Wellness at Fox Harb’r Resort. “When our reimagined spa opens, guests will step into a space where personalized indulgence meets the restorative power of the sea. The ocean air, rich in negative ions, is known to elevate mood and support immune health. Combined with tailored treatments and a setting designed to soothe, the experience will be deeply renewing.”

An Immersive Wellness Journey
The rise of Social Wellness has reshaped the spa industry, emphasizing connection, community, and shared experiences. At Fox Harb’r Spa & Wellness Centre, this philosophy is seamlessly integrated through purposeful design, common spaces, and wellness programming that foster an atmosphere of togetherness. Guests can immerse themselves in both personal relaxation and social wellness experiences, creating meaningful moments of connection. Designed to enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote deep relaxation, the new hydrothermal and contrast therapy programs offer a holistic, results-driven approach to well-being. Rooted in ancient healing traditions and modern science, signature experiences include:

• The Hydrothermal Circuit – A self-guided wellness journey featuring a bio-sauna with panoramic ocean views, an aroma-infused steam room, experience showers, a cold plunge pool modeled after the traditional frigidarium, and an Ice Fountain that allows guests to apply crushed ice to their skin post-heat therapy, stimulating circulation and invigorating the senses.
• The Salt Lounge – A halotherapy retreat designed to enhance respiratory function, skin vitality, and cellular renewal in a negative-ion-rich salt environment.
• Signature Body & Skin Treatments – Indulgent body polishes, warm wraps, hydration therapies, and advanced facials featuring marine ingredients like salt, seaweed, and Nova Scotia clay.
• The Beauty Lodge – A social wellness retreat offering expert manicures, pedicures, and floral-infused footbaths.
• The Fitness Studio – A refined, club-style space featuring upgraded equipment, active recovery stations, a dedicated mind-body studio, and a hydration station. The studio is adjacent to a junior Olympic-size pool, offering guests additional opportunities for low-impact exercise and recovery.

Performance & Recovery for Golfers
For golfers, performance is as much about recovery as it is about skill. The Fox Harb’r Spa & Wellness Centre introduces targeted treatments that help players recover faster, move better, and extend their game. Specialized recovery programs include:

• Performance Recovery Massage – Designed to alleviate muscle tension, restore mobility, and enhance flexibility.
• Contrast Therapy for Golfers – A thermal recovery approach that reduces inflammation, boosts circulation, and accelerates muscle recovery.
