Estérel Resort

Overview

About the stay

Highlights

The experience

Nordic spa on Lac Dupuis

Outdoor thermal baths, cold plunge, and steam rooms at the water's edge — the Scandinavian circuit against Laurentian forest and open lake.

Three-lake setting

Kayaking, paddleboarding, and electric-boat rentals across connected Laurentian lakes — the defining feature of the Estérel property.

Fireplace suites

All 95 suites have a wood-burning or gas fireplace and kitchenette — essential amenities for a long Laurentian evening.

Award-winning wine cellar

One of the finest wine programs in the Laurentians, with over 500 labels curated across formal dining and casual resort venues.

Winter Laurentians

Cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, outdoor skating, and the Nordic spa steaming against Laurentian winter — a genuinely immersive cold-season experience.

Stay

Your journey

1. 1

   Arrival in the Laurentians

   Drive north from Montreal on the Laurentians Autoroute — the boreal forest and lake views begin within 40 minutes of leaving the city. Estérel's lake setting reveals itself as you descend to the resort.

2. 2

   Nordic spa circuit

   The thermal circuit at the water's edge is the heart of the resort experience: outdoor hot baths on Lac Dupuis, steam rooms, cold plunge, and the long rest between rounds that the Scandinavian tradition prescribes. In winter, the contrast of heat and Laurentian cold is extraordinary.

3. 3

   Lake time

   Take a kayak or electric boat out on Lac Dupuis — the three-lake setting allows extended paddling between connected waterways. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a skating rink and the surrounding forest becomes a snowshoe and ski trail network.

4. 4

   Wine cellar dinner

   The resort's celebrated wine program and 500-label cellar make for a dining experience well above standard hotel fare — a natural complement to the spa and lake day.

5. 5

   Fireside evening in suite

   The fireplace in each suite and the kitchenette for post-spa snacks make Estérel particularly well-suited to the long, slow Laurentian evening — light the fire, open a wine, watch the lake from the balcony.
