Why You Should Make Thermea Spa Village Your 5-9 After Your 9-5

Posted: July 29, 2025 | Author: Brenna Holeman

Forget living for the weekend…an evening spent melting away your worries can happen any day of the week. If you’re on the hunt for a unique mid-week activity that combines spending time in nature with wellness and relaxation, head to Thermea Spa Village Winnipeg.

Read on for all the best things to do at Thermea Spa Village Winnipeg this summer, including the thermal cycle, culinary experiences and even a forested beach area. You’ll soon forget you’re only a few minutes away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Winnipeg at this all-season haven.

Try the Thermal Cycle

Tucked away in Crescent Drive Park, Thermea Spa Village Winnipeg is renowned for its invigorating thermal installations, including saunas, baths and rest areas. The thermal cycle - the ancestral practice of alternating hot and cold followed by a period of rest - has long been associated with improving both physical and mental health through deep relaxation.

Choose from three saunas, four baths of varying temperatures and several indoor and outdoor rest areas. There’s also an exfoliation space with Epsom salt scrubs. With so many options, you can create a different thermal circuit for every hot-cold-rest cycle you take.

A highlight of a visit to Thermea is the guided meditations or “Village Rituals”. Taking place in the spa’s largest sauna, there are four different Aufguss rituals: the Discovery Aufguss, the Artisan Aufguss, the Meditative Aufguss and the Discovery Arboreal. Led by an experienced Ritual Artisan, these German rituals optimize the effects of thermotherapy and aromatherapy by melting snowballs infused with essential oils and moving the steam around the room with a towel. It’s an incredibly revitalizing experience, especially when followed by a cold plunge!

As Thermea is open until 10 PM every night, there’s plenty of time to enjoy the Spa Village and all of its benefits, even if you’re coming straight from work. It’s the perfect way to break up the work week and leave feeling rested and rejuvenated.

Pro tip: While bath robes, towels and a secure locker are included in your visit, be sure to bring flip-flops or beach sandals to wear around the spa.

Summer at Thermea

Picture this: you feel a warm breeze on your face, there’s dappled sunlight through the trees and you hear the gentle sounds of birds in the background. And yes, you’re still in the heart of Winnipeg! Head to Thermea for a mid-week refresh and take the opportunity to enjoy all of the spa’s outdoor spaces this summer.

There are both indoor and outdoor rest areas to choose from in the warmer months; some are silent and some are social, so there’s a spot for everyone depending on their ideal method of relaxation. Highlights of a summer visit include lounging in the forest beach area and walking through the “rainforest”, a cooling mist that leaves you feeling energized and ready for another thermal cycle.

Indulge in a Spa Treatment

Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or simply needing a little mid-week boost, Thermea offers an array of body care treatments and massages to melt away your stress. Choose from massages that range from gentle and soothing to intense and restorative. Prenatal massages are also available. Body treatments include salt scrubs, aromatherapy and the use of thermal mud or warm oil, to name a few, while there’s also a selection of facial treatments to pamper yourself with.

Feel like treating yourself or buying a gift for someone else? There are massage and wellness packages available that include access to the Spa Village and your chosen treatment(s).

Enjoy a Bite to Eat

There are two restaurants to enjoy at Thermea Spa Village Winnipeg in the summer, making it a fantastic option for rounding up a few after-work buddies and enjoying a meal between thermal cycles.

Le Resto offers indoor and outdoor seating options and serves a delicious field-to-table menu featuring dishes made with only the freshest local produce. These include bison meatballs, veggie power bowls and Manitoba trout. There are many vegetarian options as well as an ever-changing wine list.

In the summer, you may want to dine al fresco. Make your way to the forest beach area to enjoy laid-back Biergarden, where you’ll find snacks and pizzas made with local Friend Bakery dough. There’s also a selection of local beers as well as berry sangria, rosé and a few other tipples.

Looking to elevate your Thermea experience with an event you’ll never forget? Check out Chef’s Table, a unique seven-course meal that allows you to dine in nature. It also includes wine pairings, a private Aufguss Ritual, a guided meditation and full access to the Spa Village. Held on only a few days each summer, places are extremely limited, so don’t wait to book!
