Dome 1 - Forest and Partial Lake View on an escarpment

We had been eagerly awaiting the opening of  the luxury domes at Nalu Retreat and couldn’t believe it when we managed to book Dome 1 for the opening weekend to celebrate our anniversary.We spent our weekend relaxing together surrounded by nature and a lovely view of Porter’s Lake. Waking up our first morning we were treated to a view of the lake covered in a light fog that quickly cleared as the sun rose above the lake - sublime.Heather and Paul are gracious, attentive, and thoughtful hosts and it’s plain to see they have a clearly defined vision for the retreat and the future Nordic day spa. The interior of the dome is an example of their attention to detail with beautiful vignettes situated throughout and furnishings that were not only stylish but cozy and inviting - the perfect spot to unwind together!There are also options you can add on to your booking. During our stay we enjoyed a delicious charcuterie box for 2 that contained a wide variety of meats and cheeses and they also have frozen meal options from local restaurants!  You can also add massage treatments from an RMT - just to amp up the relaxation!!!Although we hope to come back when the Nordic spa is open, you do have a hot tub, shower, and propane fire pit right on your deck and using the lush bathrobes provided in your dome, you can still enjoy the Nordic cycle (hot —> cold —> relax).We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Nalu Retreat and can’t wait to come back in the winter!

Words or photos can’t describe the experience.Wife and I stayed an evening, we immediately grabbed our robes and started preparing dinner on the bbq.After dinner we got the couples massage, Kristie was fantastic and personable.We then jumped in the hot tub and enjoyed the outdoor shower.The attention to detail and thoughtfulness put into the property blew me away.Paul the owner really went above and beyond to create an experience like no other.After a hot tub soak we meditated under the stars then fell asleep by the fire place.Next morning we woke up to the morning sun, made a coffee and enjoyed it in the brisk fall air while keeping warm in the hot tub.We left feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and at peace.If you want to get away and relax this is the ultimate spot!

Nalu Retreat was an exceptional experience. Stayed in dome 1. It is far and beyond just an accommodation. It is luxury and  tranquility. It is peace and relaxation. Everything you could possibly need is provided. So much attention to detail. Spa sounds and smells. The most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. A large private deck with hot tub, propane fire pit and bbq. And the views! Spectacular!Imagine that you have just had the most amazing spa massage and when your hour was up, you could just lay there as long as you liked. That is Nalu Retreat.

BOOK THIS PLACE!!! I cannot begin to articulate the level of care and attention to detail the owners have put into this beautiful retreat space.A fabulous addition to Porter’s Lake showcasing the beauty of the area - everything from the views, the hot tub and fire pit, the comfort inside the domes, high end finishes.. everything has been thoughtfully curated with the guest in mind.I booked a massage with the on site massage therapist during my stay and left feeling so much better.  Highly recommend doing so!Thank you Nalu for a relaxing and unforgettable stay - wishing you much success with your upcoming phased expansion & will be back to enjoy the Nordic Spa!
