Whether you’re travelling with a group, planning a corporate retreat, or someone seeking a peaceful getaway, here’s how to plan an unforgettable wellness retreat in Prince Edward County.
Prince Edward County, often referred to as “The County,” is a picturesque region located on the north shore of Lake Ontario in Ontario, Canada. Known for its stunning landscapes, charming small towns, and vibrant arts scene, it’s a popular destination for both relaxation and recreation.
The area is renowned for its wineries and vineyards, offering tastings and tours that showcase the local wine production. Beautiful beaches, such as Sandbanks Provincial Park, provide opportunities for swimming, hiking, and enjoying nature. The park is famous for its expansive sandy beaches and unique sand dunes. Prince Edward County also has a thriving culinary scene, featuring farm-to-table restaurants and artisanal food producers.
Visitors can explore local markets, cheese shops, and breweries, providing a taste of the region’s rich agricultural heritage. With its welcoming communities, eclectic shops, and a variety of art galleries and studios, The County is an ideal spot for retreats, getaway weekends, or exploring the outdoors. Whether you’re interested in relaxation, adventure, or cultural experiences, Prince Edward County offers something for everyone.
Fancie’s PEC is located on the Bay of Quinte in Prince Edward County and we love hosting groups that are looking for a peaceful escape. We can help arrange services like onsite yoga, guided meditations, massage or manicure bars, movies under the stars, or many more activities to leave you refreshed and vibrant.
An engaging itinerary is key to a successful retreat. Consider a balanced schedule that includes:
– Yoga and Meditation Sessions: Schedule daily classes led by qualified instructors, focusing on various styles to cater to different skill levels.
– Workshops and Talks: Incorporate sessions on wellness topics, such as nutrition workshops, mindfulness practices, or personal development.
– Nature Activities: Take advantage of the stunning natural beauty of the county. Plan hikes, guided nature walks, or beach days to emphasize the importance of connecting with nature. Just down the street from Fancie’s is a beautiful conservation area with stunning views of the Bay and trails through the forest and an old stone quarry.
– Free Time: Ensure adequate downtime for participants to relax, explore, or engage in personal reflection. If you are travelling with a group, suggest a shared book for the group to read throughout the trip. Fancie’s has also provided guests with individual spa kits for guests to enjoy face masks and bath bombs in their private ensuites during downtime.
Prince Edward County is rich in wellness opportunities. Research local offerings such as:
– Farm-to-Table Meals: Partner with local farms and chefs to provide nutritious meals that showcase the area’s abundance. This not only supports the local economy but also enhances the wellness experience. Fancie’s has a list of restaurant recommendations in the area and can provide services such as Charcuterie Board Setups and Private Catering Services.
– Spa Services: Collaborate with local spas for optional treatments, such as massages or holistic therapies, for participants looking to indulge further.
– Art and Culture: Include local art classes or gallery visits that can provide a creative outlet and enrich the retreat experience. The County is rich with local art studios and installations for anyone wishing to do a full-day “art tour” in the area.
Make a checklist to ensure all logistics are in place:
– Transportation: Provide information on how participants can reach the venue, and consider organizing group transfers if needed.
– Accommodation Arrangement: If your venue does not offer accommodations, provide a list of nearby options for participants.
– Materials and Supplies: Ensure you have all necessary materials for activities and workshops, such as yoga mats, props, or workshop kits.
