Amenities & Features
About
Uppliva Nordic Spa offers an authentic Hot-Cold-Rest circuit centered on a traditional cedar sauna and a notably comfortable cold plunge pool. Spa-goers appreciate that the cold plunge is not excruciatingly cold, allowing for a more tolerable and complete contrast therapy experience. The circuit also includes a eucalyptus steam room and invigorating rain showers. The facility provides a single, well-maintained sauna and steam room, which guests note are clean and contribute to a tranquil atmosphere. The intimate scale of the venue means these thermal facilities are not designed for large crowds, with the sauna and steam room accommodating small groups and the cold plunge fitting two to three people.
Beyond the thermal circuit, the spa features a modern, bright relaxation space with comfortable beds where guests can curl up with cozy blankets and weighted eye pillows. Robes, towels, and slippers are provided. The spa offers both a 2.5-hour and a 1-hour circuit access, with many guests recommending the longer session. Spa packages that combine circuit access with treatments like hot stone aromatherapy massages or salt scrubs are highly recommended. The atmosphere is consistently described as peaceful and quiet, making it suitable for solo visitors. Staff are frequently noted as warm and welcoming, and amenities include a drink bar with herbal tea and citrus water. The spa is located in the heart of Wellington West in Ottawa.
