From time to time, we are in need of some little R&R. Who can blame us? We’re on the go and busy 24/7. From work to school, social life, and everything in between, sometimes a getaway is in order. Though how you relax varies by preference, you can never go wrong with wellness retreats and luckily for you, Ontario is full of them.

Whether you’re looking for a more spa-like escape or would love to be one with nature, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. As long as you’re willing to make the trip, of course.

Give yourself some time to meditate, find inner peace, and rejuvenate especially during the colder months – we all know how hard on us it can be.

So without further ado, here are 5 wellness retreats to check out in Ontario:
