Whether you’re visiting as a couple on a romantic getaway or a fun-filled family break, the Fox Harb’r has everything guests could possibly wish for and more. However, what truly sets this resort apart is the Dol- ά s Spa, where guests are offered a plethora of ocean-inspired spa treatments and speciality therapies all of which are designed to rejuvenate and revitalise, whilst the negative ions of the crisp ocean air flow through the spa healing the mind, body and spirit.

As with many businesses in the hospitality industry, 2020 has certainly been a difficult year for the Fox Harb’r Resort & Spa. After closing its doors earlier this year due to the pandemic, the resort has had to adapt its services in order to reopen. The personable approach of greeting guests now differs with the wearing of face masks and the absence of a handshake on arrival, but despite this guests have embraced the changes and the spa has been very busy, explains Spa Director Joann, “We have been extremely busy above our expectations. Our guests are happy to enjoy and relax in the spa after being restricted throughout the spring. Even opting for quick services if that’s all that we can fit into our schedule.” Despite the challenges the resort has faced this year, Fox Harb’r’s portfolio has continued to expand. Marina Landing, a secluded hillside retreat has recently been completed, as well as the 12 homes have been sold to residents. Rooted into the landscape, the stylish and private residences offer a contemporary feel and tie in beautifully with the surroundings of the Northumberland Strait. Dol- ά s Spa is also likely to see some exciting developments over the coming years to match the needs of the expanding hotel features. With a bright future ahead, the Fox Harb’r Resort and the Dol- ά s Spa will continue to offer a unique and unforgettable luxury experience to its visitors. Their overwhelming dedication, commitment and excellence makes them a true pioneer in the hospitality industry.
