Why go to the spa with your family? Because children also need to relax and have a special moment with mom or dad. It's giving yourself a break and showing them how to take time to simply relax. Not to mention that in the middle of winter, the Nordic spa experience is unusual for little ones.
However, it is important to prepare your child for their visit in advance. The spa is not a playground and the child must respect the rules. This is why most spas do not accept children under 5 years old.
Come on, let's put on our swimsuits and let ourselves be pampered in one of these spas in the Quebec region that welcome the whole family!
A brunch at Strøm Nordic Spa
Kids up early? Head to Strøm Spa Nordique, which offers family brunches on Sunday mornings between 7:30 and 10 a.m. Mini-treatments are available (manicure, massage, facial) and the temperature of the thermal facilities is adapted to toddlers. It is even possible to chat quietly on site.
Are you going on a break soon? Strøm will also welcome families from March 4 to 9 from 8:30 to 11 a.m. Children can bring their own bathrobe!
A family Sunday at the Siberia Spa
Sunday mornings are spent with the family at Sibéria Spa . Nestled in an enchanting natural setting, the site dotted with several stations is the ideal place to relax outdoors. To try with the kids: the infrared sauna (not as hot as the Finnish sauna) and pour a bucket of ice into the steam bath. Guaranteed success! Note that children are also welcome during spring break.
Relax and have fun
A day in Valcartier? Start with the Aroma Spa , which invites families (children from 5 years old) to try its thermal experience on Sunday mornings between 9 a.m. and noon. Tandem massages or massages for children only are also offered. A great idea to combine with a visit to Bora Parc or the snow tubing in the afternoon, why not!
TheSpa Duchesnay of the Station bearing the same name is also accessible to families in the morning. The plus: enjoy a family day outdoors by exploring the snowshoe or cross-country ski trails in the afternoon (or the four-season hiking trails).
Learn massage
Specialist in massage for toddlers, Zeste Détente offers parent-child massage therapy sessions or even parent-child or baby massage classes. This is a great way to continue relaxing at home!
A spa for my party
Looking for an original idea to celebrate your little girl's birthday? Invite " A Spa for My Birthday " to your home! This unique concept from La Source massage therapy center introduces children to spa-type treatments in the comfort of your home. A host comes to the house with all the necessary equipment, even bathrobes, to pamper guests. Packages from 4 years old to teens (and even for adults) are available.
Create a spa atmosphere at home
It is also possible to recreate a relaxing atmosphere at home, in order to promote baby's sleep, calm children or simply spend a good time together. All you need to do is select a few products. Here are five, all available at Charlotte et Charlie, among our favorites:
To experience a quality moment, use a small amount of Énamour massage oil and gently massage your baby or child's skin. Made in Quebec, this pure, fragrance-free oil is made from natural ingredients.
To comfort little ones, this gentle mist for the pillow from Lolo et moi – another Quebec brand that we love! – will plunge them into a state of relaxation that promotes a peaceful sleep.
To wrap baby in softness, the bath towel from Bouton Jaune , a Quebec company, is certainly the softest and most comfortable in its category.
Nailmatic water-based nail polish is specially designed for little ones. Apply one or two coats, let it dry, and you won't even need nail polish remover. Just run your hands under soapy water to remove the polish and start over again!
The Rainbow Projector from A Little Lovely Compan y projects a constellation of colorful stars and a moon onto the ceiling of your baby or child's room. This lamp also plays music - 5 different melodies! Perfect for making your child dream!
Enjoy your relaxation! xx
