Calumet | Falls - Retreat & Spa QUEBEC The Approach Less than an hour from Montreal and Ottawa in Calumet, this retreat takes a thoughtful approach to wellness, shaped by nature, mindfulness and the restorative qualities of water. Set beside Canada’s highest private waterfalls, warm mineral- rich water features throughout the experience, including thermal spring baths and float therapy alongside yoga, sound healing, guided meditation and massage rituals. In this tranquil setting, the vitality of the natural environment and the energy of the falls help guests disconnect from daily stressors and reset. The Atmosphere The retreat is designed as a calm, immersive sanctuary surrounded by forest and the sound of rushing water. Accommodations range from Siwash Lake Wilderness Resort & Ranch BRITISH COLUMBIA The Approach Set within 10,000 acres of private wilderness in British Columbia’s Cariboo region, this luxury ranch takes a place-led approach to well-being shaped by movement, time outdoors and connection to the land. Wellness is woven into daily agendas, from horseback riding, yoga and backcountry hiking to lake swims, kayaking, fly fishing and quiet moments in nature that encourage a slower pace and sense of renewal. The regenerating landscape, following a devastating 2017 wildfire, supports a broader philosophy centred on resilience, stewardship and long-term thinking. A new Spirit of Equus program builds on this through horse-led experiences focused on presence, herd dynamics and connection, with no riding required. The Atmosphere Remote and intentionally intimate, this off-grid ranch balances rustic character with refined comforts, surrounded by regenerating forest, grasslands and lake and mountain views. Available for exclusive use, it accommodates up to 16 guests across ranch house suites, a heritage barn loft and glamping-style tents or a canvas cabin with sky-gazing domes. Farm-to-table dining, with ingredients grown onsite or foraged nearby, complements the property’s holistic approach. The Experience Siwash Lake specializes in small, high-level corporate retreats, where leadership teams can step away from daily pressures and focus on strategy and connection in a remote and restorative wilderness setting.
