MYSA Nordic Spa and Resort

MYSA Nordic Spa and Resort is a calm, grown-up retreat on Prince Edward Island’s north shore, set right on the shoreline overlooking Saint Peter’s Bay. It’s on a compact one-acre waterfront plot, but it still feels nicely removed, with the water and big skies doing most of the work. You’re less than an hour from Charlottetown, so it’s an easy addition to an island itinerary if you want a couple of nights that feel more like a reset than a road trip stop.

Accommodation is in a small collection of 16 air-conditioned cottages, designed for comfort and privacy rather than anything overly flashy. Configurations vary between one or two queen beds, or a king, and each cottage comes with the useful basics you actually want on a short stay, including a coffee maker, mini fridge, a cosy propane fireplace and a private deck for sitting out with a drink and the bay views. WiFi and parking are included, keeping things straightforward.

The main draw here is the Nordic spa experience, which is very much the focus, and it’s set up for switching off properly. Spa passes include robe rental, so it’s easy to settle into the rhythm of hot and cold sessions and downtime in between. Just bear in mind the spa and restaurant are adults-focused, with no access for children aged 15 and under, so it suits couples, friends, or anyone building in a quieter wellness-style stop.
