Spring Escapes: Top Getaways in Nova Scotia

Spring is just around the corner which means it’s the perfect time for a getaway! Whether you’re looking for outdoor adventures, relaxation, live theatre, great food, wine tasting, or a cozy escape for two, Nova Scotia has just the spot to kick off the season.

Sidanna Retreat

Soak in panoramic ocean views during a two-night Oceanfront Gourmet Getaway. Choose your Sidanna Retreat cottage stay on the South Shore, Eastern Shore, and Cape Breton. Spend the day exploring nearby trails and beaches, then relax your muscles in a private outdoor hot tub or barrel sauna. During your stay, two 3-course, locally inspired meals will be prepared by a local chef using the best seasonal ingredients and delivered right to your accommodation. After dinner, relax in front of the fire and fall asleep to the peaceful sounds of the ocean.

Make your way to the historic Shelburne Waterfront for a one-night Oceanfront Indulgence package at the newly renovated Albert’s Inn. During your stay, savour a locally inspired, 4-course seafood dining experience, crafted by Charlotte Lane’s Chef Nakul and paired with a bottle of Nova Scotia’s signature Tidal Bay wine. As night falls, take a short walk back to your suite before soaking in panoramic views of the stars sparkling over the harbour.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax. Nestled along the Musquodoboit River, surrounded by trees, reconnect with nature and each other on a Romantic Riverside Getaway.

You only need to bring yourselves because dinner and breakfast are provided from local farm-to-table restaurant, Lupin Dining & Pantry.
