The Spa at Nita Lake Lodge
After skiing, snowboarding or hiking, rejuvenate with a luxurious experience at the award-winning Spa at Nita Lake Lodge. You will feel pampered from head to toe with a myriad of Whistler spa treatments, such as massages, body wraps, manicures, and pedicures. Relax in style with scenic rooftop hot tubs, a steam room scented with eucalyptus, cozy robes, and complimentary sandals.
Keep your body feeling silky smooth with a rejuvenating body scrub. Delicate Himalayan salt crystals will gently exfoliate while you relax, stimulating your lymphatic drainage, improving circulation, and promoting detoxification of impurities from the body. This luxurious treatment also provides intense hydration, leaving your skin looking brighter and more youthful.
Or try Inner Connect, a 2-hour Kundalini experience that encourages inner peace and relaxation. The full body scrub and feet, neck, and shoulders massage is followed by a 'Shirodhara' ritual where warm oil infused with essential oils is applied to the third eye and massaged into your scalp.
Nita Lake Lodge is located in Creekside Village, a 5 minute drive from Whistler Village and a short 10 minute walk from the Creekside Gondola at the base of Whistler Mountain.
Scandinave Spa
No Whistler spa adventure is complete without a visit to the Scandinave Spa, which offers one-of-a-kind respite in a tranquil spruce and cedar forest.
This spa offers luxurious packages specifically designed to nourish the body and spirit.
Try their thermal therapy options, like the eucalyptus steam baths, wood-burning saunas, Finnish saunas, and hot baths. When exposed to these forms of thermal therapy, your body temperature increases, which causes your blood vessels to dilate and reduces your blood pressure. At the same time, it increases blood flow to both the skin and muscles. Perspiration helps cleanse the skin while releasing any negative energy stored within the body.
Taking a dip in a cold plunge bath, the Nordic waterfall, or Nordic showers is essential to the hot-cold-relax circuit. It closes the skin's pores to flush out toxins and naturally boosts your mood by increasing endorphin levels.
The final stage of the cycle is rest and relaxation. At the Scandinave Spa, you can use their solariums, fireplace lounge, hammocks (seasonal and weather-dependent), outdoor fireplaces, and multi-purpose yoga studio.
The Scandinave Spa thermal journey is always available without reservations, although you may have to wait if the spa is at capacity. Book ahead for a Swedish, deep tissue, or restorative massage or the VIP thermal journey.
