Retreats & Getaways

Our passion is to live life to the fullest in the healthiest way possible and through Aries Resort we share this with our guests. Whether you would like your own personalized wellness retreat, or, join one of our programs you will be sure to leave with a fresh start and a rejuvenated body and mind. 

Our philosophy on “health” is simplistic - A union and balance of mind, body and spirit through contemplation, movement, nutrition and body work.

We offer all of these elements in our retreats with you participating in a hands-on educational experience so when you go back to your day-to-day life you will easily implement your new ways. 

There is no better place to find solace and re-energize than the serene surrounding and pristine air and water of the Kootenays.
