When Canada’s largest spa opens its doors in two years’ time, guests will be able to heat up in saunas, take a cooling plunge in Harmony Lake and relax with a view of the sun setting over the Rockies.

Quebec-based spa developer Groupe Nordik and the co-developers of Harmony — Qualico Developments and Bordeaux Developments — announced plans Monday for the landmark spa at the discovery centre for the new lake community, just west of Calgary.

“Spas are a new trend,” said Martin Paquette, owner and CEO of Groupe Nordik, at the announcement. “With the facility we’re bringing here with Qualico, Bordeaux and partnering also with Travel Alberta, it will be an icon for Alberta, but I think it will also be a Canadian icon.”

The Harmony spa — Groupe Nordik’s fourth in Canada — represents an investment of more than $45 million, and is expected to create approximately 400 full- and part-time jobs. The deal encompasses 10 acres of waterfront, redrawing the village centre so the spa is oriented with a view of the Rocky Mountains and the lake.
