Rest · Recharge · Relax · Reconnect

There is no better place for families, couples or friends to come together to bond and build memories than in one of our many cozy group Spa Cottages at Ste. Anne’s. All of Ste. Anne’s accommodations are simply divine, including the charming Main Inn rooms, but there is something very special about starting and ending your days together as a group, and coming together between meals, massages and outdoor pool dips, to laugh and share and care in a warm and wonderful cottage. 

A family visit to one of Ste. Anne’s spacious cottages have become our most treasured tradition – all six of us are working and lives are hectic so generally a short staycation fits into everyone’s schedules. It’s a perfect stress-free, all-inclusive group escape – close to home, don’t lift a finger, and come as you are. Just pack up some comfy clothing, a bathing suit, flip flops and a few toiletries, and make yourself at home. Hang out in a luxurious Ste. Anne’s signature bathrobe while visiting the dining room, getting pampered at the spa, and enjoying the best we-time in a long time. 

Sound incredible? It is! Whether a special family celebration, an escape with girlfriends, a couples getaway, or even a small corporate retreat, there are cottages to suit every group size and occasion, all with a kitchen and living room with fireplace, and an outdoor hot tub and private yard. There’s space for everyone to kick back and reconnect with one another in a very special way. Make your cottage stay even more extraordinary by booking a private chef experience - dinner is prepared and served right in your cottage kitchen.

We loved our recent two-night, all-inclusive stay at the Maison Santé Nook, a beautiful cottage that comfortably accommodates 6 adults and provides immediate access to a hot tub, endless pool, dry sauna and fitness facility, while just a short distance to the Main Inn where an array of healing experiences await. Lounging around the Nook was blissful, and so too unwinding with a glass of wine in the Nook’s hot tub after a full day of shared wellness. Feasting on the chef’s fabulous farm-to-table cuisine, relaxing in the eucalyptus inhalation room and soaking up each other’s company in the therapeutic hydrotherapy pools make for great conversation and memories. 

Fun is more fun when others join in – not only do experiences have a greater emotional impact when they are shared with others, but relationships are enhanced too. One of our best memories is relaxing together in the outdoor hydrotherapy pool heated to 102 degrees in a freezing February. Snowflakes started to fall and it was truly heaven on earth! Family and friendship add a special warmth to shared activities and are especially nourishing for the body, mind and soul. We left Ste. Anne’s wanting more and are dreaming about the Casa Del Sol Spa Cottage for our next family escape. A mere 100 metres from the Main Inn, we’re already imagining the cottage’s comfy beds and pillows, the best breakfasts, and de-stressing with Ste. Anne’s powerful healing experiences.

The anticipation of another visit in 2023 offers a big boost to our emotional health and well-being, especially during these uncertain times. We spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future and that can be a source of joy and calm if we know good things are coming. Good things come to those who wait – and we can’t wait!
