Montreal Day Trip: Ofuro Spa

Looking for a place to get away? Want to escape the city? Feeling stressed about work and life?? Then check out Ofuro Station zen in the Laurentians, just a little over an hour from downtown Montreal.

Ofuro Spa

Opened in 2000, this spa is a nature-lovers oasis. Going through the thermotherapy circuit of warm followed by cool promotes the elimination of toxins, strengthens the immune system and replenishes the mind and body.

Whether a day trip with the girls or a get away with someone special this is the place for everyone. There are even accommodations so you can stay the evening or the entire weekend. Located in Morin Heights, only an hour from downtown Montreal, Ofuro is in the beautiful Laurentian region and close to skiing, shopping and more.

Now that kids are back to school, there’s no better time to put the kids on the bus and head up! No worries, you’ll make it back in time for the afternoon bus.

For some first timers they aren’t sure what to bring. When you arrive you are given a towel, lock for your locker, water bottle and robe. I suggest also bringing a good book to read, sunglasses and if winter weather a winter cap. If you do forget anything, they have a wide variety of items available on site, including flip flops, which I can personally say you may need!

You don’t have to worry about bringing a lunch either because they have great healthy lunch options on-site. Whether a meal for my husband or a shared meal with a girlfriend all are always happy.

For the ultimate ZEN experience, treat yourself to one of their many body or beauty treatments, especially a massage. You can even get them in a small personal villa located in the hilly countryside.

There is nothing better than relaxing in a hot tub being surrounded by the multitude of fire bright colors on the trees. So take time this fall for yourself and enjoy a day trip from Montreal and enjoy time at Ofuro Station Zen.

On our latest visit with no snow we realized there were so many walking paths and areas that in winter are covered in snow. We found a secluded area up on a hill that had the most comfortable reclining chairs. So much so my husband fell asleep and awoke to find others sitting in the area… did I mention he awoke by snoring himself awake??
