Here’s how you can create your perfect winter wellness escape in Alberta’s capital.

These culinary retreats are more than just meals—they’re moments of pure joy to savor this winter.

3. Escape the Cold in Tranquil Indoor Gardens

Dreaming of tropical warmth without the plane ticket? Edmonton’s indoor spaces offer lush greenery and peaceful escapes from the frost:

  • Muttart Conservatory
    Wander through vibrant tropical gardens housed in striking glass pyramids. The warm, humid air and exotic plants are a refreshing contrast to the winter chill outside.

These serene locations offer a touch of summer warmth and lush greenery that’s the perfect escape from the cold.

4. Enjoy a Wellness Class or Activity

Winter is the perfect time to focus on your mental and physical wellness. These unique experiences will leave you feeling renewed:

  • Float Therapy at Float House
    Drift into deep relaxation in a sensory deprivation float tank. The weightlessness and silence create a meditative experience that’s perfect for stress relief.
  • Yoga at Wellness on Whyte
    Warm yoga classes and holistic treatments provide a restorative escape from winter’s harshness. Stretch, breathe, and find your balance.
  • Infrared Sauna at Refresh Wellness
    Detox and recharge in an infrared sauna session. The gentle heat helps ease sore muscles, boost circulation, and bring warmth to your core.
  • Meditation Classes at The Acupuncture Turning Point
