5 Ways to Heat Up in Canada

Not heading south this season? Don’t sweat it. Here are 5 hot ways to catch the warming trend close to home.

1. Water Spa

What it’s like: Water spas are a growing trend, so Google to find one in a major city near you. At Toronto’s Body Blitz Spa, patrons participate in an hour-long water circuit, soaking in therapeutic waters such as a warm saltwater pool, a hot green tea pool and a eucalyptus-infused steam room. Rounding out the circuit are an infrared sauna, cleansing showers and an icy cold plunge pool. Most of your time is spent in tropical warmth, including lounging by the saltwater pool with smoothie in hand.


Who it’ll appeal to: Those who crave steamy heat, minus the mosquito bites. “Body Blitz is a downtown oasis for me. I pop in after work because the water, the steam and the total atmosphere just melts the day away for me,” says avid spa-goer Sigrun Wister, of Toronto.


"Travel" tip: Some water spas are co-ed and some are not. Women’s spas may be swimsuit optional. These facts are good to know before you get there.
