Spa Day or Golf Day? How to Plan the Perfect Couples' Getaway at Living Water Resorts

The good news for couples who can't agree on how to spend a day: you don't have to choose. Living Shore Spa and Living Stone Golf Resort's 18-hole course sit roughly ten minutes apart, both part of Living Water Resorts, so one partner can tee off in the morning while the other settles into the Aquapath, and you can reunite for dinner without either of you compromising on how you wanted to spend the day.


If it's a spa day, here's what's actually on offer

Living Shore Spa is a 5,000-square-foot, award-winning spa built around its signature Aquapath, the only one of its kind in Ontario - a circuit of mineral pools, waterfall benches, river pathways, and sea-salt baths designed for singles, couples, or small groups moving through it together. Beyond the Aquapath, the spa offers relaxation massages, facials, body treatments, manicures and pedicures, and a new infrared sauna experience built for two, with a 45-minute session, 15-minute recovery, herbal tea, and robes included.

For couples specifically, there's a 90-minute side-by-side massage in a private couples' room, with your choice of tea, wine, or cider to close it out - genuinely one of the better "just the two of us" options on-site.


If it's a golf day, here's the case for it

Living Stone Golf Resort's 18-hole championship course is a short walk from the hotel, and Station on the Green - Collingwood's largest patio - sits right at the course for the round afterward. If one of you golfs and the other doesn't, that's fine: the course, the spa, and the waterfront side of the resort are close enough together that nobody has to spend the day waiting around.


How to actually plan the day (or the whole trip)

A few ways couples make this work in practice:

  • Split the day. One partner books a morning tee time at Living Stone while the other books an Aquapath session at Living Shore Spa, then meet for dinner at Lakeside Seafood & Grill on the waterfront side of the resort.

  • Split the trip. Golf one day, spa the next - useful if you're staying multiple nights and want to fully settle into each experience rather than rush either one.

  • Do both together. The Aquapath is built for couples moving through the circuit side by side, so if golf isn't for one of you, it doesn't have to be a solo spa day either.


A few things worth knowing before you book

The Aquapath isn't recommended for guests who are pregnant, have a pacemaker, heart conditions, high blood pressure, or diabetes, or who have allergies to eucalyptus, salt, or citrus essential oils - worth checking with a physician first if any of that applies. Aquapath guests should also plan to arrive 20 minutes before their scheduled session, with changeroom access 10 minutes before and after.


Planning your stay

Whether it's a spa morning, a golf afternoon, or both, book your stay at Living Water Resorts and reserve your Aquapath or tee time in advance - both tend to book up on weekends. Pair it with dinner at Lakeside Seafood & Grill to close out the day together, wherever you each started it.
