Scandinave Les Bains Vieux - Montreal

Scandinave Les Bains Vieux



Well, for my well-being sake, I will sacrifice everything to be there right now...lol

Scandinave Spa is located in Old Montreal and close to the Old Port, the 12,000-square-foot spa is the first urban undertaking of the Scandinaveteam, spearheaded by Benoît Berthiaume, co-founder and executive VP of the Gestion Rivière du Diable group.

Occupying the ground floor of a restored former warehouse, Scandinave Les Bains Vieux-Montréal’s setting is less intimate than the rural settings of the first two Scandinave spas. The first corporate spa opened in 1999 in the log-and-stone cabin country of Mont Tremblant’s ski hills in Quebec, and the first franchise opened in 2006 in the Blue Mountain ski hills of Collingwood, Ontario.

Iwaso Ryokan, Miyajima, Japan

The Magic of Miyajima

It was like love at first sight for me...

This island is truly serene, magical and...simply beautiful...

I felt like I was in Japan 100 years ago..

I took the ferry from Hiroshima to Miyajima(only 20minutes boat ride).

Miyajima is well-known as a sacred island wherein people and gods dwell together harmoniously...

I stayed at Iwaso Ryokan, where I experienced Japanese lifestyle and culture...

The food was great...

The service was amazing...I felt like a princess!

It is close to everywhere...

In front of Iwaso Ryokan...very nice view of maple trees in red, orange and yellow...
