During March and April, Ste. Anne’s Spa celebrates the season with its Maple Renewal package
Located just outside the village of Grafton, Ste. Anne’s Spa is set within Northumberland County’s rolling countryside. Housed in an 1800s heritage fieldstone country castle, the spa blends an old-world setting with a relaxed, welcoming approach to wellness. Guests are encouraged to slow down, stay all day in plush bathrobes, embrace spa hair, and simply be themselves. It’s an experience rooted in rest, renewal, and feeling comfortable from the moment you arrive.
Come spring, Ste. Anne’s encourages guests to “shake off winter and welcome something new” with their Maple Renewal Package.

Designed as a gentle reset after winter, this experience is available as both a day package and an overnight stay. Guests can choose between a Maple Body Wrap or a $150 spa and wellness allowance, with plenty of time built in to enjoy the spa at their own pace.
Overnight guests enjoy standard spa cottage accommodations, all meals, and thoughtful details that make the stay feel effortless. Inclusions range from afternoon tea and a four-course dinner to a la carte breakfast and a three-course lunch, along with unlimited non-alcoholic beverages at all meals. Guests also receive a Ste. Anne’s signature robe, nightly turndown service, and a morning room refresh.
The facilities are a big part of the Ste. Anne’s experience. Guests have full access to outdoor meditative and therapeutic hydrotherapy pools, a eucalyptus inhalation room, outdoor sauna, firecircle, hiking trails, zen garden, and more. It’s easy to move between quiet moments outdoors and restorative time indoors, without ever feeling rushed.
One of the best parts of Ste. Anne’s Spa is how close it is. Located just over an hour east of Toronto, it’s an easy drive from the GTA, yet once you arrive, it feels like a world away. For visitors to the region during maple season, the Maple Renewal package offers a simple, restorative way to welcome spring.
