Your journey
Arrival on the estate
Drive east from Toronto through the rolling Northumberland Hills — the stone manor appears at the end of a tree-lined drive. Arrival sets the register immediately.

Signature treatment
The Hungarian mineral body wrap or Ayurvedic Abhyanga massage in the purpose-built spa pavilion — therapists certified to European standards with treatment lineages rooted in tradition.
Estate walk
Forest trails, the meditation garden, and seasonal estate grounds extend the therapeutic environment across 400 acres of Northumberland countryside.
Farm-to-table dinner
The estate dining room serves produce from its own kitchen garden — a full-service dinner designed around seasonal Canadian ingredients and the rhythms of the retreat day.
About
About this getaway
St. Anne's Spa is Canada's largest destination spa, set on 400 acres of rolling countryside in Grafton, Ontario — a two-hour drive east of Toronto on the limestone Northumberland Hills. The estate centres on a grand Romanesque Revival manor built in 1857, surrounded by forest trails, spring-fed ponds, and award-winning gardens that anchor the guest experience in landscape as much as in treatment rooms.
The spa draws on European hydrotherapy traditions adapted for the Canadian seasons: Hungarian mineral baths, mud-wrap treatments, a purpose-built spa pavilion, outdoor hot springs pools, and a full menu of Ayurvedic, reflexology, aromatherapy, and body-wrap therapies. The 35-room inn occupies the heritage manor and newer garden suites — each room designed for the slow retreat rhythm of a property where meals, nature walks, and spa treatments are the structure of the day.
For North American guests seeking a world-class Canadian spa without flying, St. Anne's offers a rare combination: estate architecture, certified therapists, farm-to-table cuisine from the estate kitchen garden, and enough acreage to truly step away from ordinary life. Featured in Condé Nast Traveller and consistently ranked among Canada's top destination spas.
The stone manor at St. Anne's was built in 1857 in the Romanesque Revival style, a distinctive limestone presence on the Northumberland Hills that has shaped the property's identity ever since. For decades it was a private country estate; the transition into Canada's premier destination spa was a gradual recognition that its acreage, architecture, and spring-fed water sources offered something rare in Canadian wellness — a place where healing and landscape reinforce each other across four seasons.

St. Anne's Spa is at 1009 Massey Road, Grafton, Ontario K0K 2G0 — approximately 120 km east of Toronto (around 1.5–2 hours by car via the 401) and 30 km east of Cobourg.
What makes St. Anne's unique among Canadian destination spas?
St. Anne's is Canada's largest destination spa (400 acres), set in a heritage 1857 Romanesque Revival manor. The combination of estate scale, Hungarian mineral-bath hydrotherapy, outdoor hot springs, farm-to-table cuisine from the kitchen garden, and 35 inn rooms makes it genuinely resort-grade rather than a day spa.
What is the Hungarian mineral bath experience?
The mineral bath program draws on Central European hydrotherapy tradition — thermal soaking pools with therapeutic mineral content, combined with mud wraps and water-based treatments. At St. Anne's this is adapted to include both indoor and outdoor hot springs pools open year-round.
Can I visit St. Anne's for a day without staying overnight?
Yes. St. Anne's offers spa day packages that include access to hydrotherapy facilities and optional treatments. Advance booking is required. Check stannesspa.com for current day-visit availability and pricing.
What accommodation options are available?
The property has 35 rooms and suites across the heritage manor and garden-view annexes. Options range from cozy manor rooms to larger garden suites — all designed for the slow retreat rhythm of the estate. See stannesspa.com/accommodation for full descriptions.
Is St. Anne's open year-round?
Yes. St. Anne's operates across all four Ontario seasons — winter spa retreats, spring maple-season escapes, summer garden stays, and autumn foliage weekends are all distinct experiences on the estate.
What is the food like at St. Anne's?
The estate kitchen uses produce from its own garden and local Northumberland suppliers. Meals are full-service and designed to complement the spa program — nutritious, seasonal, and considerably above standard hotel dining.
