Scandinave Spa opening first Alberta location in Edmonton
A massive new spa is opening up in Edmonton later this decade, and it’s the first location for Canadian wellness brand Scandinave Spa in Alberta.
The location is set to overlook the North Saskatchewan River, and will be Scandinave Spa’s fifth location. It’s expected to generate approximately $121 million in total economic impact over its first 10 years.
“It will support 330 temporary jobs and 52 permanent full-time jobs during sustained operations post-opening. This major project paves the way for future tourism development and strong growth of the visitor economy in the region,” Travel Alberta said in a news release.

Travel Alberta supported the project through its new Investor Concierge program, and is also supported by the Government of Alberta’s Investment and Growth Fund (IGF), the City of Edmonton, Edmonton Global, and Explore Edmonton.
Set to open in the summer of 2028, Edmonton was chosen thanks to its mix of natural and urban aspects.
“Bringing Scandinave Spa to Edmonton is a natural fit with our vision to create unforgettable wellness experiences in iconic destinations,” said Steve Arsenault, President and CEO, Scandinave Group.
“We’re proud to be part of Alberta’s tourism future and to offer Edmontonians a unique way to unwind, year-round.”
