This beautifully restored colonial revival mansion sits high above Picton Harbour on Lake Ontario. The Claramount’s wellness strategy is partly based on Sebastian Kneipp’s therapeutic model, developed in mid-19th century Bavaria. Water is its main focus, and many of the treatments take place in the heated salt-water pool. Aquatic massage and programs like Aqua Pilates improve the body’s range of motion and mobility. Individual attention by registered therapists and aestheticians ensure that guests are professionally pampered.
Onsite, ten luxurious suites are decorated with period antiques and original Canadian art. The dining room features gourmet cuisine that highlights local produce and wine. Deep water berths accommodate guests arriving by boat.
The spa at the Claramount was opened in 2004 as part of a meticulous renovation and addition to the original colonial revival mansion built in 1904. It sits high above Picton Bay in Lake Ontario, near the mouth of the Trent-Severn waterway.
Nearby Sandbanks Provincial Park has the longest freshwater sand dunes in the world.

The Claramount Spa has six spacious treatment rooms and uses the exclusive line of Eminence handmade Organic Skincare products.
This is a ‘Water Spa’. The treatment philosophy draws upon the therapeutic model developed in mid-nineteenth century Bavaria by Sebastian Kneipp. Water is the essential component in Kneipp Therapy, which is woven into many aspects of the treatments at the Claramount.
A number of one-to-one aqua therapy treatments are conducted in the heated, saltwater pool, including ‘Aquatic Massage Therapy’ and ‘Aqua Therapy’ movement classes. ‘Aqua Chi’ blends the essence of Chi Gung and Tai Chi movements and ‘Aqua Toning’ is a class blending breath with resistance movements in the pool.
New for 2006 is the Claramount Kur experience. Kurs involve a deeper level of treatment. The word comes from the German for ‘cure’. Look for anti-cellulite and foot repair treatment packages. Some Claramount Kur Experiences involve light therapy, pool and infra red sauna or dry brush, steam/sauna and rain shower/affusion treatments.
It is intended that the rejuvenation you experience here will carry over into the rest of your life.
One- and two-night accommodation packages include breakfasts and dinners. Day Spa Packages and a variety of seasonal and special occasion getaways are also offered.
