“This is such a beautiful place. The attention to detail makes these domes a dream place to relax and reflect. We enjoyed our stay in February very much, seeing a real Canadian landscape. By the way, the massages by Tracy were excellent, making the whole experience even better. Thank you.”

A quiet moment.
A glowing fire.

Two chairs facing the forest and sky.
One of our recent guests at the Lakeside Villa captured their experience in this beautiful watercolor. The stillness of the trees. The soft winter light. The warmth of the fire against the snow.

This is exactly why we created Nalu Retreat. A space to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself and the person beside you.

We are beyond grateful for this beautiful and thoughtful review from a local influencer, Nova Scotia Explorer who recently stayed at our new Lakeside Villa.

Nestled directly on Porters Lake and tucked away down a private laneway this space was created for guests who crave privacy nature and deep relaxation. From panoramic lake views and cozy fires to hot tub soaks and spa inspired details every element was designed to help you slow down and reconnect.

Thank you for noticing the small touches, the shoveled deck after a snowfall, the eucalyptus filled showers and letting everyone know about our meal offering and the peaceful stillness that makes this place so special.

This is just the beginning. With plans for a future Nordic Spa we cannot wait to welcome guests back again and again.

What an incredible night at the Chamber of Commerce Business Awards Gala.

So much talent, leadership, and innovation in one room and it was inspiring to be surrounded by so many local businesses doing amazing things for our community. The energy in the room was unreal, the production was stunning, and the celebration of growth and hard work was exactly what our region needs more of.

Grateful for the opportunity to attend, connect, and support the people building something special right here at home. Congratulations to all the nominees and winners. Well deserved.

Throwback to the very beginning of Nalu Retreat.

This video takes me right back to that first winter when we started building. Cold days, deep snow, quiet mornings, and that raw untouched beauty that only this land can offer.

Even then, standing out here surrounded by the trees and the stillness, I could feel the vision so clearly. A place where people could escape the noise, slow down, breathe again, and reconnect with who they really are. A retreat built with intention, peace, and purpose.

I will never forget how much work it took to bring this dream to life, and how many incredible people helped make it possible.
To everyone who showed up, worked long hours, believed in the idea, and helped shape what Nalu Retreat has become, thank you. This place exists because of your hands, your time, your energy, and your support.

The journey has been wild, and it is only just getting started.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
