Where the balance between your active life and well-being meets.
Kōena means “balance,” a central concept in everything we do. Our mission is to immerse you in a culture of well-being and “slow living,” creating memorable moments to help you achieve this balance. We sought to find the perfect equilibrium, the ideal combination of services to ensure everything is in harmony.
Our Story
When embarking on the wonderful journey of creating the Kōena Spa, our team had a vision: to create an urban haven that complements the other amenities in this location, where you can reconnect with yourself and escape the hustle and bustle of the city without traveling far.
A space of relaxation and well-being that is both calming and accessible, inviting you to deep relaxation and rejuvenation.
Location
A sanctuary of serenity just 5 minutes from downtown Gatineau and Ottawa.
Kōena Spa is located along the Ottawa River, in the heart of Château Cartier Hotel & Resort. Thanks to its prime location, you can admire stunning sunsets on clear days throughout the year; in the summer, you can also complement your Kōena moment with a round of golf at Golf Château Cartier.
