Löyly Spa Guesthouse is part of a unique wellness retreat combining Nordic-style spa experiences with cozy overnight accommodation. Our spacious outdoor spa area includes two whirlpools (hot and cold), an authentic steam sauna, outdoor showers, and a large private sunbathing yard. Guests are welcome to explore these features during the day or enjoy them privately during evening spa rentals. Inside the spa building, you’ll find relaxation lounges with fireplaces and calm, natural décor — the perfect setting to unwind between hot and cold rituals. The on-site Fidele Café serves fresh, garden-inspired meals and drinks throughout the day, with both indoor and outdoor seating available year-round. We also offer a full-service beauty salon for facials, manicures, and pedicures, and a team of skilled massage practitioners — including registered massage therapists and specialists trained in our signature Hot Leaves sauna massage, a traditional treatment performed inside the steam room using birch and oak branches. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a peaceful solo retreat, or a wellness day with friends, our property is designed to restore and inspire.

our hosts are the Löyly Spa team, with over 20 years of experience in wellness, spa operations, and hospitality across Ontario. Our previous project was Löyly Spa in Carp (formerly Hot Rock Spa), where we built a loyal following for our authentic sauna rituals, Hot Leaves massage, and warm, personalized guest care. Many guests still speak fondly about those early experiences — and you can find dozens of glowing reviews by searching “Hot Rock Spa” on Google. Löyly Spa in Manotick is the next step in our journey — a purpose-built wellness space inspired by Nordic traditions, where every detail supports deep relaxation and natural healing. We are not part of a chain. We are a small, dedicated team offering something truly personal. From garden-to-table meals at Fidele Café to one-of-a-kind steam room treatments, every element is designed and delivered with care. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, we’re here to welcome you and help you feel deeply restored.
