2024 Best of Lake Erie: Retreat

Its name means long life. “The idea is to unwind and disconnect,” says Myah Pathak, the chief of operations at Lungovita in Harrow, Ontario. If a blazing beach party is what you’re out for, this isn’t it. Leave the kids at home. This is an 18+ environment. And be aware there’s no WiFi on this property in Harrow, Ontario, which offers luxury geodesic domes. “We encourage silence when you are here because not a lot of people find time in their daily lives to be still and in the moment,” Pathak says. Modeled after a Scandinavian spa, the wellness retreat offers cedar-barrel saunas, steam rooms, a year-round pool and hot tub, hammocks and a waterfront with access to kayaks and paddleboards. Try the Weekday Sip & Stay for Two package (tents start at $120 CAD; domes at $209 CAD), which includes three tastings from award-winning local wineries and a night at Lungovita.
