Why winter in Seba Beach
SebaHub is tucked into the trees near Seba Beach and Wabamun Lake – close enough to Edmonton for a spontaneous weekend, far enough to feel like a true escape. In winter, the forest quiets, the stars brighten, and the campus transforms into a cozy cold-weather playground.

Low-stress winter drive
Avoid long mountain highways. SebaHub is roughly an hour west of Edmonton, making it easy to slip out for a Friday night arrival and be home again on Sunday before dark.

Sauna and Cold Air Experience
With our accommodations, winter at Seba Beach centres around heat and contrast. Our sauna becomes the heart of the property on cold days – a place to warm up, slow down, and reset. How it works
• Book either the Dome fire oven sauna, or the Lodge eclectric heat sauna.
• Alternate between heat in the sauna and cool-down in the fresh winter air or snow.
• Finish by the firepit or back in your cabin with a hot drink.
Sauna sessions can be added when you book your accommodation (subject to availability).
