Table of Contents
The groundbreaking for the Aloha Complex on August 15th signals the arrival of a unique entertainment destination in Quebec, promising a $25 million investment and a summer 2026 opening. This multifaceted project, spearheaded by three Quebec entrepreneurs, aims to redefine leisure with an innovative blend of sports, wellness, and entertainment.
A Vision Takes Shape
Originally planned for 66,000 square feet, the Aloha Complex has expanded to an impressive 86,000 square feet, reflecting the ambitious scope of the project. The complex has secured financial backing from key institutions including the Ministry of Tourism, Desjardins, Investissement Québec, and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC). “Their contribution will bring to life this unique place of gathering and entertainment,” stated a company release, emphasizing the collaborative spirit driving the project.
Surfing, Wellness, and Retro Fun
At the heart of the Aloha Complex lies Canada’s largest indoor surfing center. Beyond the waves, the complex will feature a 130-seat restaurant boasting an elegant Balinese-inspired atmosphere, complete with a 50-person reception room for events. A state-of-the-art training and wellness center will cater to high-performance athletes and health enthusiasts alike, offering equipment comparable to that used by professional sports teams like the Montreal Canadiens and NFL players.
The complex will also dedicate an entire floor to entertainment, offering a nostalgic experience with a retro skating rink, arcades, golf and multi-sport simulators, and even an urban mini-golf course on the roof.
Sport Radical Partnership Enhances Offerings
The Aloha Complex is forging a strong partnership with Sport Radical, a Quebec-based water sports retailer established in 1992. Sport Radical will open a second branch within the complex and serve as the official store for Aloha Surf, providing everything from surfboards to swimwear.
Inclusivity and Accessibility
The Aloha Complex prioritizes inclusivity, aiming to welcome individuals of all ages and skill levels. The modular wave technology will accommodate surfers from 8 to 80 years old, with expert instructors providing guidance and support. The project initiators envision a space where “citizens and visitors will be able to come and find…a guaranteed dose of happiness.”
A Commitment to High-End Wellness
The wellness center is designed to be a premier destination for fitness in Quebec. Beyond cutting-edge equipment, the center will offer signature classes in yoga, Pilates, HIIT, and more, led by experienced coaches. A holistic approach to well-being is further emphasized through the inclusion of a spa, sauna, cold bath, massage therapy, physiotherapy, and a health bar. The design, overseen by Rebel design, promises an ambiance and service rivaling the finest hotels.
The Aloha Complex is slated to open its doors in the summer of 2026, located at 2205, boul. Wilfrid-Hamel, in Quebec. Details on reserving a spot for the grand opening can be found at alohasurf.ca.
