Newfoundland Social Distancing Retreats

Practicing social distancing is new for most of us. As social animals, mingling and mixing with others is a big part of what we do.

Spring is the best time to spend some quality time with yourself, and release what doesn't serve you

When you take a moment to think about the volume of social contacts most of us have on any given day, the number can be staggering. Everything from ordering that cup of coffee, standing in line with others, and all the people you casually interact with going from one place to another sum up to a large number.

Removing yourself from the mix, even for a day or two, is one of the best ways to practice social distancing.

On Newfoundland's Avalon Pennensiula spring is in the air. White snow still blankets the landscape, the days are getting longer, and sunshine is in abundance. 

If you're feeling cooped up in St. John's and looking for a social distancing nature retreat, there's no better time to unplug and practice some social distancing in nature.

1: Totally Private:

The stargazing hot tub suites at Whale House Guest House are totally private. When you arrive you won't have to see or interact with anyone else.

No awkward meet and greets.

No restrictions on when you can come and go.

It's designed this way on purpose, so feel free to do your own thing.

2: Fresh, Clean, and Inviting:

From chlorine-free spring water that comes out of every tap to the meticulously prepared private entrance suites overlooking the ocean and east coast trail, you'll know you're somewhere special from the moment you arrive.

All private hot tubs are treated with natural ozonation and bromine salts, which means your hot tub is clean and just for you.

Suites like the Blue Whale Hot Tub Suite are flooded with natural light from large windows overlooking the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve and two private oceanside decks making it easy to get fresh air and experience nature.

Newfoundland in Spring is a nature lover's paradise

3: Stargazing Hot Tubs:

Whale House is situated perfectly on the edge of the Witless Bay Marine Ecological Reserve, right on the Atlantic Ocean and Mobile Bay. Because of the lack of light pollution, you'll see stars and strips of constellations unlike anywhere else. The outdoor hot tubs let you soak and enjoy the bubbling bliss of the warm waters in total comfort while enjoying stars and fresh air.

4: The East Coast Trail:

Trailheads like the Tinkers Point Trail and Beaches Path are famous East Coast Trail hiking and snowshoe routes accessible directly from Whale House. Hike or snowshoe directly from your suite, with abundant wildlife and nature viewing opportunities from the moment you step outside.

This area is particularly known for great whale watching from land opportunities, with your private hot tub suites overlooking humpback whale feeding grounds.

Moose, ptarmigan, arctic hare, marine mammals, and rare seabirds are all common sightings in and around Whale House and the waters of the Witless Bay Marine Ecological Reserve that surrounds it.

5: Everything you need:

Want to just watch Netflix and chill? Wish you remembered to bring great coffee with you? Are you wanting to disconnect but still have access to rocket-fast wireless internet? Do you wish everything was just easy and taken care of for you?

Relax, we have you covered. When you arrive, you can expect your suite to be perfect, with everything you need to have a great time.

Now is the best time to take a social distancing nature retreat. Spending some one on one time with that special someone makes a lot of sense right now. Loading up on some vitamin D in a sunny oceanside hot tub or losing yourself in nighttime stargazing is equally appealing.

If you find yourself caught up in the mix of it all, a social distancing nature retreat may be just what you need.
