Ua aʻo ʻia kēia i loko o kahi huakaʻi holoʻokoʻa ma nā mauna Laurentian i kahi mea e like me ka hybrid o ka mālama ʻana a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana o kahi aristocrat ʻEulopa me ka nui o ka nui o ke ʻano o ka nohona o nā hōkū Hollywood waiwai a kaulana.

Akā ʻo kaʻu huakaʻi i nā spas o nā mauna Laurentian o Kanada he mea ʻokoʻa iki. ʻOiai wau e hele nei i kahi huakaʻi e ʻike i nā spa nani i mea e hiki ai i ka tiptoe i ke ola maikaʻi, ua loaʻa iaʻu ka hopena i ʻike ʻole ʻia o ka hoʻopau ʻana i kekahi o ka ʻehaʻeha i loaʻa iaʻu i loko o kahi makahiki lōʻihi a ʻehaʻeha e noho ana me kahi disc herniated koʻikoʻi. ʻOi aku ma mua o ka pampering, ua lilo kēia i huakaʻi hoʻōla.

ʻO ka poʻe Laurentian he hoʻokahi hola ma ka ʻākau o ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Montréal a ua like lākou me nā mauna ʻo Catskill i ka nui. ʻOi aku ka nahele ma mua o ka bucolic, a hoʻopuni nā mauna i ka lewa e hana ana i kahi manaʻo e hūnā ʻia ma waena o nā ululāʻau ʻākau. I koʻu pule ma ʻaneʻi, ua ʻike au i ke ʻano o nā spas kūʻokoʻa, e hoʻoikaika ana kēlā me kēia i kā lākou iho hoʻomaha a hoʻomaha.

Haʻaheo ka poʻe Laurentian ma kahi o 32 spas, 21 o lākou he spa resort, ʻo ka hapa nui o ia mau mea i kūkulu ʻia i nā makahiki he ʻumikumamālima i hala. ʻOiai ma kēia huakaʻi, ua kipa au i ka The Ofuro Spa, Quintessence Spa and Resort, ka Hotel du Lac, a me Spa Scandinave, aʻo nā mea ʻē aʻe kaulana ʻē aʻe ʻo Le Westin Resort & Spa, ka Fairmont Tremblant, LʻOasis de l' Île, a me ka Hui Polar Bear.

KA OFURO SPA

Aia ʻo Ofuro Spa ma ke kaona ʻo Morin Heights a loaʻa iā ia kahi kumuhana hikina hikina. ʻO ka manaʻo ma ʻaneʻi ʻo Rococo Zen; i ke komo ʻana i ke ala lōʻihi, ua hoʻokipa ʻia au e nā kiʻi kiʻi Buddha nunui e hāʻawi ana i kahi ʻano mālie koke. No ka poʻe e makemake ana e hoʻomaha i ka pō, aia nā lumi ʻelima, ua kāhiko ʻia kēlā me kēia me nā mea hoʻonaninani boutique hou, nā kīwī pālahalaha, ka papahele ʻohe, a me nā hiʻohiʻona mauna.

ʻO ke ahi ma hope o ka Ofuro Spa ka mea nona ʻo Jacques Aubry, kahi hale ʻaina mua i loaʻa ka ʻike e kūkulu i kēia hale kapu he 10 mau makahiki i hala. Ua loli koke kāna mau hoʻolālā i ka wā e hana ana ʻo ia ma luna o ka hale nui i hāʻule ʻo ia ma kahi o 25 kapuaʻi ma luna o ka pōhaku paʻa. E hoʻomau ʻo ia i hoʻokahi makahiki ma kahi haukapila a haʻi ʻia ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hele hou.

Akā e like me ka piʻi ʻana o Phoenix, ua paʻa ʻo Aubry e kūkulu i kāna ʻike no ka spa a me ka ʻauʻau Nordic, āna i ʻōlelo ai ua hoʻōla iā ia. I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe ona hilahila i ka hōʻike ʻana i nā ʻeleʻele o kona mau ʻeha, a ke hōʻike aku nei ʻo ia iā lākou e like me nā kīʻaha kaua.

"Inā ʻaʻole no ka spa, nā lapaʻau, nā ʻauʻau Nordic," wahi a Aubry, "ʻaʻole au e hele hou."

Lawe ʻo Aubry iaʻu ma kāna hana ʻana - ʻo kahi hale nui ka wahi hoʻokipa a he plethora o nā catwalks a me nā hale pagoda i loaʻa nā sauna, nā lumi mahu, a me nā wahi hoʻomaha. Koho pono ʻo Aubry i nā mea kahiko, nā koena o nā hale pule i hāʻule, a me nā hana kiʻi i kau ʻia ma ka ʻāina. He nani ka ʻāina o waho me nā loko nui, nā loko liʻiliʻi - wela a me ke anuanu, e alakaʻi ana i ke koho koho i loko o ka muliwai, ma hope o nā wahi hoʻomaha e hāʻawi i ka wela mai nā kapuahi kapuahi kahiko. Maʻaneʻi, hāmau a maluhia nā mea a pau. ʻAʻohe kamaʻilio ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ke kelepona hele ʻana.

Leʻaleʻa ka poʻe kipa i ka ʻauʻau Nordic i ka wā mua, e wehe i ke kino ma mua o kā lākou mālama ʻana. ʻO ka masseuse Ginette, ka mea i aʻo ma Italia ma lalo o kahi haku shiatsu, e hoʻomanaʻo mai iaʻu he lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka poʻe Laurentian e like me ka Himalayas, a ʻo ia ka ikehu pohihihi kahiko e kōkua i ka manaʻo o ka noho ʻana ma kahi ʻē. Ma hope o ka hui ʻana o ka lomilomi ʻo Swedish-Shiatsu a me ka maka, ua haʻalele wau i koʻu manaʻo kūikawā e like me ka spa ponoʻī.

QUINTESSENCE SPA ME RESORT

ʻO Quintessence Spa a me Resort kaʻu huakaʻi aʻe. He mea maʻalahi ke nalo, mamao loa mai ka lehulehu akā ma kahi o nā hana āpau a Station Tremblant. Loaʻa i ka Tremblant kahi kahua mokulele ponoʻī a he puʻuhonua no nā hōkū - ma ka ʻāina a me ka honua.

ʻO Quintessence ka noʻonoʻo o Tom lāua ʻo Nancy Clagett, ka mea i aloha i ka ʻāina ma hope o ka kipa ʻana iā Mont Tremblant Lodge mai ko lāua ʻāina ʻo Ireland. Kūʻai lākou i ka ʻāina ma ʻaneʻi mai kahi wahine i hele wāwae ʻole i loko o kona hale i ka wā hoʻokipa. No laila ka inoa spa, Sans Sabots (ʻaʻohe kāmaʻa).

ʻO Quintessence kahi hōkele hale kūʻai me 30 mau keʻena loft-like me kēlā me kēia me kahi kapuahi, kahi pahu jet voluminous, ka paia o nā puka makani, a me ka balcony e nānā ana i ka loko infinity o ka hōkele a, ma kahi mamao, Lake Tremblant. ʻO kēia hale hoʻokipa ka mea mua loa i loaʻa nā lomilomi i loko o ka lumi, a me nā suites e like me kēia, he mea hoʻokipa maikaʻi loa ia. He mea pili a mehana ka wahi no ka mea hiki ke lilo i mea nani a hiki ʻole ke hoʻokokoke.

He mau puka Palani kēia e kū nei i loko o ka loko nani i kahi Jacuzzi a me kahi loko wai infinity. Ma ʻaneʻi au i koho ai i ka Revitalizing Body Rénovateur, kahi lapaʻau kani e komo pū ana me kahi ʻōpala, kahi pale kino, a me ka holoi ʻana, a ukali ʻia e nā pōhaku anu ma ka maka a me ka lāʻau pōhaku wela ma ke kino.

ʻOiai e hoʻolohe ana ke koʻokoʻo, ua paʻa loa ka mālama ʻana iā ia iho, e koi nui ana i ka launa pū ʻana ma kaʻu ʻaoʻao e hoʻomaha maoli. E like me koʻu hoʻomaka ʻana e hoʻomaha, e koi ʻia au e hoʻohuli e loaʻa i kahi ʻāpana o ka lāʻau. Hoʻopilikia hou i ke ʻano, a laila pono wau e hele ma kahi o ka lumi kali, uhi ʻia i ka lepo - ma mua o ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka lumi lapaʻau ponoʻī. ʻO kēlā ʻōlelo ka luna nui hou, ua haʻi ʻia iaʻu, e hoʻolālā e hoʻoponopono hou i nā lāʻau.

KA HOTEL DU LAC

Aia ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka loko ʻo Hotel du Lac, kahi pōhaku huna ʻē aʻe. Mai ka ʻaoʻao o waho, ua like ke ʻano o ka hōkele me kahi hui Swiss mai nā makahiki 1970, i pena ʻia i ke keʻokeʻo me nā ʻokiʻoki ʻulaʻula e like me ka moʻolelo.

Leʻaleʻa nā limahana ma Hotel du Lac, a ʻo ka lewa ke ʻano o ko ʻEulopa congeniality. Me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana koho, hele nui kēia spa i ka crème de la crème o nā lāʻau lapaʻau me nā mea waiwai re-mineralizing, a hāʻawi pū lākou i kahi laina spa no kahi keiki.

Nona ka hōkele e ka jet-setting octogenarian aristocrat, ka Belgian Marquis Alain De Rosanbo, nāna e kipa ʻelua i ka makahiki e hoʻāʻo iā ia iho. Ua koho au i Sea Treasures, ʻo ia hoʻi ka hydrotherapy a me ka lomilomi, a ukali ʻia me kahi ʻōwili kino a hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o kahi pahu jet 144; ʻO kēia ka hana a ka Marquis i koho.

I koʻu lana ʻana i loko o nā paʻakai kai o ka pā nui, ua like hoʻi au me ke ʻano aliʻi, a ua hoʻomaopopo wau he hiki iaʻu ke maʻa i kēia ʻano ola.

Haʻaheo kēia spa iā ia iho i ka lawelawe, ka nānā ʻana, a nani ka pae hoʻomaha ma muli o ka hopena. Ma hope o ka hana ʻana i ka spa, hāʻawi ʻia ka wai a me nā huaʻai ma ke ʻano o ke kaʻina hoʻomaha a hiki i nā malihini ke noho noʻonoʻo ma ka lanai e nānā pono ana i ka loko. He ala maikaʻi loa e hoʻomaha ai.

SPA SCANDINAVE

ʻO ka hopena hope loa, ʻo ia ka paionia lōʻihi ma kēia wahi, he spa Nordic i kapa ʻia ʻo Spa Scandinave. ʻO kahi oasis ma waho o ke ala nui, ʻaʻohe mea kupanaha ma hope o nā alanui pili. Ua ʻike ʻia ka ʻokoʻa o ka nānā ʻana ma waena o nā hōkele boutique a me kēia spa kū hoʻokahi mai kinohi. ʻAʻohe mea liʻiliʻi o nā limahana ma ʻaneʻi i ka hoʻokipa ʻana o nā hale hoʻokipa pili pili.

ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ua hoʻopaʻi ʻia ka lawelawe curt front desk aʻu i ʻike ʻia e kahi lomilomi pōhaku wela maikaʻi loa i hana ikaika e hoʻopau i nā mahina o ka haunaele me ka hui pū ʻana o nā sauna a me nā ʻauʻau a me nā lumi hoʻomaha. Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka hoʻonohonoho me nā yoga pono a pau, ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, a me nā makasina ʻuhane e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke hiamoe maikaʻi.

Eia naʻe, ke koi mau nei kekahi kahu i ka malihini ma ʻaneʻi e noho mālie, ʻoiai ua maʻalahi nā mea kūʻai aku e kamaʻilio. Eia nō naʻe, no ka mea aloha spa e like me aʻu, ʻaʻohe ala maikaʻi e hoʻolilo ai i kahi lā ua e lele ai mai ka sauna, i ka ʻauʻau anuanu, i ka ʻauʻau wela, i ka lumi hoʻomaha.

Hāʻawi kēlā me kēia spa ma ka ʻāina ʻo Quebec's Laurentians i kahi ʻike ʻokoʻa loa e pili ana i kā lākou limahana, ka lewa, a me nā lāʻau lapaʻau. He ʻāpana ia o ke ānuenue o nā spas i ʻike i kēia ʻāina i kēia mau makahiki i hala. Ma kaʻu huakaʻi, ʻike wau ʻoiai ʻaʻole wau he countess, ʻaʻole hoʻi he mea paio no "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous," ʻo ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi ʻana e like me ka hoʻōla ʻana ʻoiai ʻo wai ʻoe.
