What Vettä Guests Have to Say
Vettä Nordic Spa is truly one of the most relaxing spa experiences in Ontario. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels calm, clean, and beautifully designed. The hot and cold pools are perfectly maintained, and the traditional saunas are amazing — especially in the winter when you can step from the sauna into the cold plunge or fresh air.
If you’re looking for a quiet escape from the city to recharge and reset, Vettä Nordic Spa is absolutely worth the visit. I left feeling refreshed, relaxed, and already planning my next trip back.
Simply delightful! Love that there is a zero policy on tech use. Unplugging from the phone, relaxing in hot spaces, amazing food/drink to recharge, and cold plunge/buckets to reset the system was bliss. Lots of seating, fireplaces (that burning wood smell was so nice), and hammocks to lie in the sun. I can’t wait to go again!
Frequent visitor. Wonderful place. Great food and awesome staff. Cleanest retreat! A perfect snowy day.
As a repeat visitor, we are always fully satisfied with our experience at Vettä. After spending time rotating through all of the areas, the goal of feeling rested and relaxed is fully achieved!
My friends and I went to Vettä Nordic Spa for a little getaway from the city. It was our first time here, we have experienced other Nordic spas in Quebec & blue mountain but I have to say Vettä exceeded my expectations.
I took a friend and we had a fantastic time. All the staff were very friendly and all the guests were friendly. Im very pleased that we could talk quietly, i dont think i would have enjoyed complete silence. However it is nice that you have a silence section for those who would enjoy that. We had a bite to eat at the restaurant, quiche and salad with a quayles beer, it was excellent. We look forward to another visit. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
A restaurant and a bistro on location which have delicious food options and all kinds of swimming pools, saunas, relaxing rooms etc. It feels like you are really in a Scandinavian forest in a true north European spa and everything is provided.
