Strom Spa Nordique


Feeling stressed, tired or worn out. Need a day to recuperate? Check out this place.

Strom is a Nordic Spa located on Nun's Island. Its baths are located outdoors and are open all year round regardless of the weather. It is based on the concept of alternating between hot and cold cycles followed by relaxation. The water circuit helps to eliminate toxins, increase sleep quality, relaxes muscles, is good for the immune system and overall good health. We all need this little bit of luxury at least once in a while.

They have hot and cold pools, waterfalls, massages, facials, sauna's, steam room, fire pits and relaxation rooms.

It is really nice, not only because it is outdoors but because of the lake view and trees. The outdoor massages in the summer are epic, you can hear the birds while you relax.

When you live in the city and don't have access to a car, you can't really imagine escaping but as I sat on the deck there last summer and watched frogs jumping around the lake, I felt like I was not in a city.

Be sure to check out their other events, you might just find yourself sipping cocktails until 3am under the stars.

Strom Spa is a Nordic spa on Nun's Island. They have a thermal experience, which include outdoor whirlpools, thermal and Nordic baths, Finnish saunas, eucalyptus steam bath, thermal and Nordic waterfalls, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas with fireplaces. You can also get massages on site from the traditional Swedish massage to the signature Strom massage, Thai massage, Shiatsu, Prenatal, outdoor massage, 4 hand massage and finally hot stone massage. Body treatments such as exfoliating are also available. These photos were taken at one of their monthly events Soiree sur les Etoiles. During this event, clients receive a different spa experience with more of a lounge atmosphere, a martini bar, food sampling and a DJ on site. This event goes from 11pm to 3am. Huge thanks to Farah for helping me with this shoot and for taking amazing photos.
