But.. we cannot forget the Keltic Lodge favorites…

Cape Breton Highland Links

Designed by Stanley Thompson, the course is not overpowering for the average golfer, but a challenging layout that requires accuracy off the tees, rolling fairways that feature very few flat lies, if any and relatively small, undulating greens that reward a good shot.

The Spa at Keltic

The full service spa features seaweed treatments indicative of the resort's ocean connection. The Spa at Keltic Lodge is only one of three free standing resort spas in Atlantic Canada.

Hike Hype

You will be transported into the wilderness of Cape Breton and the Highland National Park. Here, scenic paths thread along cliffs with breathtaking vistas of ocean, coast and islands. Often you will see moose, bald eagles and whales as you hike and you will view mysterious waterfalls that drop 100 feet from the highlands into pools below.

A Whale of a Time
