Accessible only by boat or helicopter, Sonora Resort feels more like a wilderness paradise than your typical all-inclusive resort. That’s because this Relais & Ch?teaux property is all about luxurious nature-driven experiences. Set on Sonora Island, part of B.C.’s Discovery Islands, it’s entirely possible to spot bald eagles and orcas breaching from your private deck. Nature lovers can add guided salmon fishing excursions, grizzly bear tours or SUP paddling through glacier-fed waters for an extra fee. But even included activities like hiking through old-growth forests, delivers the kind of wild encounters most people only see on nature documentaries.?

Sonora Resort’s all-inclusive packages cover gourmet cuisine, wine, beer and access to five star resort facilities including heated oceanside mineral pools, a tennis court, putting green, fly fishing ponds and hiking and biking trails.

Mere minutes from the iconic Hopewell Rocks, Hope-Wellness Eco-Resort offers cosy cabins, each split into sleeping and social quarters connected by private patios with wood-fired hot tubs. Days unfold at your own pace, whether you’re soaking in the four-season Nordic Lounge (complete with a cold plunge, sauna and year-round outdoor pool), joining a yoga session, or foraging herbs from the property’s medicinal gardens for that evening’s farm-to-table dinner.

Choose between two distinct packages: the Everyday Escape with local wines and craft beers or the Wellness option featuring fresh-pressed juices and virgin cocktails. Either way, you’ll find yourself falling into an easy rhythm with fellow guests in this social-forward sanctuary, where wellness doesn’t mean whispered conversations and strict rules but rather a wilder, more natural approach to relaxation.?

Spa Eastman, Quebec

Spa Eastman turns the wellness retreat concept on its head by making health surprisingly fun (yes, really). This Quebec sanctuary offers packages that range from deep-dive wellness escapes with personalized health care sessions to workcations that prove Zoom calls are better with spa breaks.

The all-inclusive concept here goes beyond standard massages and meals (gluten and dairy-free!), teaching you practical ways to boost your energy that don’t require moving to a mountaintop monastery. Whether you’re seeking a total health reset, hitting the Nordic spa or happily hanging in the sleek new Oasis guest rooms, Spa Eastman makes wellness feel less like a chore.?

Step into a 19th-century fieldstone castle set among 500 acres of rolling Ontario countryside, and you’ve found Ste. Anne’s Spa. This wellness sanctuary wraps guests in house-made botanical treatments and signature robes while they float between hydrotherapy pools, eucalyptus steam rooms, and hidden meditation spots. Days unfold blissfully slow: morning yoga in the forest pavilion, afternoon tea in the English Walled Garden, and four-course dinners featuring treats from the on-site gluten-free bakery. Expect to return home utterly soothed thanks to skin care products crafted from flowers grown on-site.?

You can book a range of all-inclusive overnight packages at Ste. Anne’s Spa that include a spa and wellness allowance, complete use of the facilities, breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as afternoon tea.

Blending Thai elegance with cowboy charm might seem like an unlikely pairing, but Echo Valley Ranch pulls it off with panache. This unique retreat, set snuggly in B.C.’s Cariboo Mountains, offers all-inclusive packages that let you play rancher by day and spa-goer by evening. Saddle up for guided trail rides through sage-scented valleys, and try your hand at fly fishing. Or, hike to hidden waterfalls before unwinding with a traditional Thai massage in a pavilion designed by Thailand’s royal architect. Evenings bring storytelling around the campfire, where tales of the day’s exploits flow as freely as the wine.?

That quintessential Ontario cottage experience, coupled with the nostalgia of family summer vacations, is delivered at Shamrock Lodge on Lake Rosseau in Muskoka. This family-run resort feels more like borrowing your favourite cousin’s lakeside cottage — if that cottage came with three meals a day and a water trampoline.

Paddle through Muskoka’s iconic waters, try water-skiing (one run per person included daily), or plant yourself on the sandy beach while the kids bounce between the water jungle gym and tubing. From nightly bonfires to daily entertainment, everything except alcohol is included, making it the kind of place where you can leave your phone in the room and your worries at home.?
