Accommodations


Muskoka Sands to undergo major expansion by Kim Kerr


    Muskoka Sands Resort, located on the shores of Lake Muskoka near Gravenhurst, is about to get bigger. The resort recently announced a 1,200 acre expansion that will initially include 42 new cottage chalets offered for sale, a 7,200 yard CPGA certified 18 hole golf course and a 20,000 square foot spa, making it one of the top destinations of its kind in the Muskoka region.

  The golf course -- named Taboo -- will be ready for use in the summer of 2002, while the world class Sweetgrass Spa and Treatment Centre will be completed in 2003. Designed by the people responsible for the Banff Springs Hotel Spa, Sweetgrass will feature the Muskoka Sweat Lodge, a therapy administered in a special chamber where healing mud is applied and heat dried on the body. Afterwards, tiny water jets gently rain down to wash the mud away.

  Other areas of the resort will also see some new construction. The waterfront will see the addition of a new harbour breakwall, expanded docking facilities and a new fleet of rental boats.
