We have taken the spa experience and transformed it into a wellness village. Thermea Spa Village Whitby is familiar, feels like home and allows its guests to escape the hectic pace of modern life. Our spa village is the first of its kind, with state-of-the-art installations and at its core, buildings reminiscent of a distant past, when life was strongly connected with nature and steeped in traditions. Our spa village, a twist on traditional spa culture, combines unique experiences inspired by rituals found around the globe with a distinctively Canadian character—a peaceful hideaway for our guests, not too far from home.
Our mission is to give our guests a moment’s rest by offering them refuge, away from the pressures of modern life where they may rediscover their own well-being. Your role as an artisan of our spa village is to cultivate peace. We are passionate and dedicated team players here at Thermea Spa Village. Always enthusiastic, helpful, conscientious, discrete—and most of all, respectful. We deeply care about everyone—guests and fellow artisans alike.
It takes a village, join us.
