Relax and Rejuvenate at Blue Forest Shores Retreat, Nova Scotia

Published January 14th, 2025

On a memorable road trip through the Eastern Shores of Nova Scotia, I spent two nights at Blue Forest Shores, only an hour east of Halifax.

This wellness and education nature retreat centre with five private islands is a haven for you to recharge and relax.

This Nova Scotia gem sits on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and is much more than a place to rest your head. They attract visitors worldwide who come for the authentic sauna experience and to unplug and recharge.

The Boathouse is a two-storey cabin where I stayed and fell asleep to the sounds of the water gently meeting the shoreline.
There are workshops and events and you’re invited to join resident herbalist Savayda Jarone on a herb walk or in the garden for a medicine making workshop.

With kayak and canoe rentals available, hiking trails and a truly secluded environment, Blue Forest Shores Retreat is ideal for those looking for a different type of accommodation with a high element of relaxation and to connect with nature and the outdoors.
