Nestled in the heart of the Blue Mountain Village, iwa spa offers the ideal setting for couples, friends, or loved ones to unwind together. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, reconnecting with a partner, or planning a relaxing getaway with a friend, a spa day for two is the perfect way to slow down, recharge, and share an experience of pure calm.
With breathtaking scenery, cozy local dining, and one of Canada’s most unique wellness spaces, the Blue Mountains are the perfect backdrop for relaxation. Here’s how to plan the perfect spa day for two — one that leaves you both refreshed, reconnected, and glowing from head to toe.

Choose the Right Setting
Location matters when you’re planning a spa day, and iwa spa is unlike anywhere else. Located just steps from the village shops and mountain trails, our tranquil retreat feels a world away from the everyday. The moment you step inside, soft lighting, natural textures, and gentle scents invite you to leave your stress at the door.
Whether you’re visiting from Collingwood, Thornbury, Wasaga Beach, or travelling from Barrie or Toronto, our serene setting makes it easy to slow down and breathe deeply — together.
- Start with a Relaxing Massage
Every perfect spa day begins with a massage. At iwa spa, our skilled registered massage therapists (RMTs) customize each session to your needs — from full-body relaxation to therapeutic relief for sore muscles and tension.
For couples or friends, side-by-side massages offer a shared moment of peace. You’ll relax together in one of our peaceful treatment rooms as warm oils melt away stress, improve circulation, and soothe tired muscles.
It’s the perfect way to begin your day of connection — grounded, present, and completely at ease.
- Experience the Hot Volcanic Rock Studio
After your massage, continue your journey of relaxation in our signature Hot Volcanic Rock Studio, the only one of its kind in Canada. Guests rest fully clothed on heated volcanic stone that emits gentle far-infrared warmth.
This experience, known as Ganbanyoku, helps the body naturally detoxify, promotes circulation, and encourages deep relaxation. The quiet setting allows you to reflect, rest, or simply enjoy being together in stillness.
Many of our guests describe this time as the highlight of their spa day — a peaceful pause that allows the body and mind to absorb the full benefits of their treatments.
- Add a Facial or Body Treatment
For the ultimate spa day, extend your experience with one of our facials or body treatments. These services are designed to nourish, hydrate, and restore — using natural, sustainably sourced ingredients that leave your skin radiant and refreshed.
Whether you each choose your own service or enjoy matching treatments, these experiences complement your massage beautifully and add an indulgent touch to your spa day.
- Enjoy the Boutique and Local Touches
Before or after your treatments, take time to explore the iwa spa boutique. We’ve curated a thoughtful selection of Eminence Organics skincare, lululemon apparel, local gifts, wellness teas, accessories, and cozy candles — perfect for taking a piece of your spa experience home.
After your visit, step outside and explore the Blue Mountain Village. You’ll find plenty of restaurants and cafés offering delicious, locally sourced meals — the perfect end to a day of self-care and connection.
- Plan Ahead for the Perfect Day
A little planning helps make your spa day seamless. Here are a few tips to ensure your experience is effortless and enjoyable:
- Book in advance: Couples appointments and morning yoga classes fill quickly, especially on weekends.
- Arrive early: Give yourself time to unwind before your treatments begin.
- Hydrate: Drink water before and after your treatments to support detoxification and overall well-being.
If you’re celebrating a milestone, let our team know — we can help make your day extra special with personalized touches or recommendations for nearby dining and activities.
- Extend the Experience with Morning Yoga
To make your spa day even more rejuvenating, start with Restorative Yoga in our Hot Volcanic Rock Studio, offered every morning from 9–10 a.m. The gentle heat and mindful movement prepare the body for deeper relaxation and enhance the benefits of your treatments later in the day.
It’s a beautiful way to begin your visit — setting the tone for peace, balance, and connection.
Reconnect, Relax, and Restore
A spa day for two is more than a shared indulgence — it’s an experience that deepens connection, promotes well-being, and reminds you both of the importance of slowing down.
At iwa spa, we create moments that last — through mindful touch, natural products, and spaces designed for calm. Whether you’re marking a special occasion or simply need a shared escape, the Blue Mountains are waiting to welcome you.
