Imagine waking to soft steam rising from your private oceanfront hot tub, the crisp Atlantic breeze on your skin, and the very first humpback whales of the season gliding past your deck while the rest of Newfoundland is still shaking off winter. No tour boats. No crowds. Just you, your person, and a province waking up in the most beautiful way possible.

That’s not a fantasy. That’s spring at Whale House.

Why Spring Feels More Romantic Than Summer

Summer in Newfoundland is beautiful, but it’s busy. Expect busy trails, constant boat traffic, and harder to get reservations. You can still find a place to stay, but iconic stays like the ultra romantic Blue Whale hot tub romantic spell suite is much easier to score in spring. It’s also quieter, softer, and infinitely more intimate in and around the witless bay marine ecological reserve. 

• ✓ Empty coastal trails where you can walk for miles without seeing another soul
• ✓ Golden-hour light that feels softer and more romantic
• ✓ The first whales arriving with almost no boats on the water
• ✓ Easier bookings at the best local restaurants for candlelit date nights

Spring gives you romance without the rush, just the kind of trip that feels made just for the two of you.

At Whale House, Spring Feels Like Your Own Private Love Story

Whale House hot tub suites and sauna suites sit directly above the Witless Bay Ecological Reserve, the richest humpback whale feeding ground on Earth. In spring you don’t just hope to see whales. This is the big one where you can see hundreds of whales in a single day.  You often wake up to them breaching right outside your window.

Here’s exactly what your spring escape feels like:

• ✓ Slip into your steamy oceanfront hot tub at sunset as the first whales of the season pass by
• ✓ Explore the 24-hour Japanese inspired Skirin-Yoku forest bathing sauna and Nordic plunge that leaves you glowing and closer than ever
• ✓ Fall asleep under a blanket of stars. Our zero light pollution dark-sky policy means the Milky Way is basically your ceiling
• ✓ Wake up and stroll five minutes to the famous Fork Restaurant, opening for the season starting April 17, 2026 for the best rated food + vibes on the Southern Shore. Eat, drink, return to your suite, choose your vibe.

Real Couples, Real Spring Magic

“Best decision we made all year. We saw three humpbacks from the hot tub and listened to them breath while floating naked under the stars,” — Jeremy Clarke, Ontario

“Came for our anniversary in early May. The sauna + cold plunge became the new ultimate favourite ritual. Loved it so much, I want to build my own. Felt like we had all of Newfoundland to ourselves.” — Chris Degraw, Halifax

Your Spring Romantic Escape Planning Checklist

• ✓ Book mid-week (Sunday–Thursday) for the quietest experience and best rates. If you can score a weekend date, bonus! 
• ✓ Pack layers, cozy sweaters for the deck and exploring the east coast trail right next to your suite (because it's easy to go for a 5 min romantic walk at sunset)
• ✓ Add the Love or Kink edit when you reserve and turn an ordinary night into something unforgettable with a sophisticated bottle of bubbly, artisan chocolates, and a fun game just for the two of you. 
• ✓ Plan to turn off your phone and spend some time together. Yes, we have super fast internet when you want it, but sometimes unplugging can make you feel so good.
