MOOSEJAW

Temple Garden Mineral Spa

Located in the heart of the city of Moosejaw, The Temple Gardens Mineral Spa Resort Hotel is one of the provinces most notable spas. The resort's point of distinction is the rooftop geo-thermal pool where the water temperature hovers between 98 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. It's available not just to spa-goers, but to all hotel guests.

Sahara Day Spa

The Sahara Day Spa also in Moose Jaw is located within walking distance of the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa. The Bali-themed spa is the only (as far as we know) spa in Canada that is recognized and certified as Jamu Spa. Jamu is an Indonesian word translating to “herbal remedies used internally and externally for health and beauty” and that is the concept behind Sahara and behind using the Jamu product line. The concept and philosophy of the spa is carried through to the design and decor which makes for an rather exotic environment. www.saharaspa.ca
