TIDAL BAY RETREAT
St. Andrews, New Brunswick, CANADA
October 9 - 12, 2026
Group of 4 to 8 Ladies
Join us for a bespoke weekend away, thoughtfully curated from start to finish. Escape to the beauty of St. Andrews on a 3-night, 4-day Canadian getaway. Our itinerary has the perfect balance of group activities and quiet time, ensuring you'll leave feeling rested, connected, and ready for the transition into the cozy season.
Spend your weekend at an adorable coastal cottage with the Atlantic Ocean as your front yard. The crisp fall air and the rhythmic sounds of the ocean create the perfect sanctuary for relaxation. Highlights include a sailboat whale watching tour, visit to Kingsbrae Gardens (or opt for a spa treatment at The Algonquin); photo ops and hot spots, eat and shop our way through some of the best local gems in the quaint downtown area, and so much more!
For women to gather and make new friends. It's not about how old you are, and more about the vibes and energy you bring. For solo travelers, friend groups, mother/daughter(s), sisters, or for those who simply need a break. Whether you're seeking relaxation or adventure, you're sure to have an unforgettable experience.
Our Waterfront Stay
The breathtaking sunsets, ocean views and starry night skies will leave you absolutely mesmerized.
Sip your morning coffee or evening wine out on the deck, cozied up to the fire pit, looking out to some of the most serene sights. All bedding, towels, and essentials provided. Our home will be stocked with a variety of snacks, beverages, coffee, tea, and light breakfast items that you can help yourself to at any time.
You'll have plenty of free time to relax and unwind at our waterfront cottage. Take a nap, journal, read a book, try your hand at some arts and crafts, take in the beautiful views and sunsets - there's more than enough to do, or simply just be.
Weekend Activities + Experiences
All aboard a tall ship sailboat, the Jolly Breeze of St. Andrews, as we voyage past lighthouses and stunning landscapes to a playground of seals, porpoises, and majestic whales. The world's highest tides occur twice daily and stir up a bounty of food which attracts several species of whales. Our entertaining cruise guides will share a bounty of information; the ship has bathrooms, a heated lounge, deck seating, an on-board touch aquarium, cash wine/beer bar and snack bar.
We'll wander through Kingsbrae Garden, a 27-acre horticultural attraction featuring themed gardens, sculptures, animals, and dining. Plenty of cottagecore vibes, a chance to pet dwarf goats, and tons of photo ops throughout this magical place. If a luxury spa treatment at The Algonquin is more your thing, check out their full-service menu of facials, massage, body treatments and more, and book your escape.
We're definitely hitting up the best local shops and bites too! Score some local goods and souvenirs while we walk and shop the downtown area filled with some of the cutest gift shops and boutiques. Honeybeans and Cafe Drewhaven Patisserie for breakfast. Salt Bight, Char and Chowder for lunch. Dinner at Rossmount Inn, a renown culinary destination known for its market fresh, local, and seasonal cuisine. Healthy, high protein meals are prepared just for you. For our last dinner together at home (or, should I say dome?) we'll share a community style cooking experience.
