Things to See and Do

Once you step inside Nature Folk, you’ll slip into a plush robe, stow your belongings in a locker, sip warm tea, and settle into the gentle hum of the space.  

From there, you can follow a natural flow through your booked treatment or thermal circuit. Before, after, or between sessions, you’re welcome to unwind in the serene communal areas. 

The thermal circuit follows a rhythm of warmth, cold, and rest. Finnish saunas help relax muscles, eliminate toxins, and soothe aches and pains. The cold plunge provides a refreshing contrast that stimulates circulation and reduces inflammation. During the rest phase, you can either reset with a dip in the warm pool or exfoliate in the salt scrub room.  

The spa’s private infrared saunas are a great place to unwind while experiencing the therapeutic effects of the LED lights. Bring a book or a face mask and enjoy your favourite music or podcast by connecting your device to the built-in speakers.  

Explore a selection of integrative, whole-body wellness offerings, including massage therapy, therapeutic facials, acupuncture, fire cupping, and naturopathic consultations. 

Workshops and yoga classes are also available.  

Planning Your Visit

How to book

Reservations are required. Use Nature Folk’s user-friendly online booking system or call 902-469-0274 to book an appointment.

Getting there

• Arrive by car, on foot, or via the Halifax-Dartmouth Ferry. The ferry leaves from the Halifax Waterfront and drops you off at Alderney Landing, which is about a five-minute walk from Nature Folk.
• While there’s no designated parking, you’ll find ample street parking nearby, as well as paid parking at Alderney Landing. 

Keep in mind

• If it’s your first time visiting, arrive at least 10 minutes early for your appointment. This allows for time to fill out any necessary forms and settle in before your session. 
• If you’re heading to the thermal circuit, pack your bathing suit, sandals and a water bottle. 
• Weekend appointments fill up quickly. Book well in advance if you’re visiting on a Saturday or Sunday.

Insider Tip

Don’t miss the ritual corner during the thermal circuit. There, you’ll find Nature Folk’s signature salt body scrub and mud masks for an extra boost of exfoliation and self-care.
