Spa Reviews

My search for the world’s best spas, hammams, saunas, hot springs, and other wellness rituals.

The ancient Egyptians bathed in hot tubs with essential oils. Romans made thermal bathing the centre of public life. Today, we often use the term “hydrotherapy.” Whatever you call it, the practise of hot+cold+relax is one of the best ways to unwind while travelling. Sometimes a hammam, swimming pool or thermal spring is the purpose of my entire trip!

Which is why now I’m soaking, steaming, and floating my way across Canada and the globe to bring you honest and in-depth reviews of the world’s best spas with all you need to know before you go.

If you’re looking for the best Nordic Spas in Canada, or great places to sauna in Toronto, I’ve got you. You’ll find reviews of famous spas like the Blue Lagoon or the Dead Sea but also lesser-known or even secret oases.

I’ll tell you what you need to know about local spa etiquette like what to wear and not wear. And I’ll show you beautiful and unique public bathing spots for all budgets, from free hot springs to luxury hotel spas. Because wellness is for everyone!

Whether you’re already a bathing enthusiast or not yet hooked on hydrotherapy, I hope these reviews help you find the best spa for you on your next trip.
