This spa is extremely overpriced for what you get. There are two and only two hot water pools. Even the cafeteria runs out of food, even though what they sell is nothing but boxed food from grocery stores. I got a very bad headache after following their hot water/cold water switch routine. read more

This place is a kind of small. Whole place is outdoor. Don't forget to bring flip flops. What I like the most is "SILENCE" sign post every where on the bath area. People respected it. Service is okay Foods - pricey and very few selection. Ham & Cheese is almost $10. Free drink and some tea on the lobby Hot tubs is nice Cold tub - one is felt kind of dirty because I felt the water is kind of slimy Steam room is okay. Lockers is clean read more

Scandinave Spa - Massage Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

Scandinave focuses mainly on Nordic style pools and spas. Hot, Cold, Relax and Silence is the way to experience this place. They offer massages to compliment your visit. I came in on a Saturday and Sunday and had a massage on both days. First massage from Lara was like an athletic style massage which I appreciated because I had been holding a lot of tension that week and her type of massage was what I needed. She cared a lot about what she was doing. My second massage (I don't remember his name) was more on the relaxing aspect since I had already had a deep tissue massage previously. As for the baths, bring your bathing suit. Otherwise, you can purchase one for $75 (CAD) plus tax. Also recommend bringing flip flops to walk around in. They sell those also. Like I said, the focus is on the various types of hot and cold pools and saunas. They don't have facials or body wraps here. Things may seem a bit confusing at first because the place is pretty big. Would I come back the next time I'm in Whistler? Yes! read more

February Friday 1800 The Scandinave Spa Whistler is a one time experience unless you're really, really into hydrotherapy. For over $100 Canadian a pair for the bath houses (no massage, bath robes extra $13 each) it's hard to justify when hydrotherapy is a form of torture for you, as it is for me. First, you're in a hot room (sauna, steam room) for 10-15 minutes. Then you force yourself into ice water for 10 seconds. Then you relax in a solarium for 10-15 minutes. I'm pretty sure those of us coming in the winter did this all wrong, because the solariums, hammocks, and fire places were just too cold. I was so cold in the solarium that we went over to the hot springs for our "relaxation" period, then suffered in the steam room for less than 10 minutes, then had to force myself into the cold pool and plunge my head and somehow got water into both ears. Then hobbling over to the next station on the cold steps in a frozen towel was just not the definition of a good time. Boyfriend loved the experience, however. He said the cold water felt like being on crack. The scenery was beautiful and the experience was relaxing (sometimes, when everybody wasn't talking (but nobody cares) and it wasn't so damningly cold). The spa is well maintained and had a beautiful layout. The bathrooms are clean and are equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, hair dryers, cotton balls, and q-tips. The apple you are provided after your spa experience is the crispiest, most delicious apple you will eat in a very long time. The pineapples we happened to be in the cafe room for was so juicy and sweet I literally stood there and ate more than my fair share of pineapple servings. If Boyfriend ever convinces me to go back again I'd bring flip flops, book myself a massage, and bring a hair brush for the hair aftercare. We would also park closer, in a less sketchy part of the hill. Until then! read more

Where to start.....? Amazing would be an accurate beginning :) First, the weather did more than cooperate. We couldn't have dreamed of a more scenic day and perfect snowfall than we received. The front staff were incredibly warm and receptive. We feel it's a first class experience every time. There is plenty of parking. Once entering the property, the ground is never slippery. The layout is great. My favourite is the eucalyptus steam room. If the people around you can respect the 'silence policy', the experience can be very moving. We did partake in the massage experience again, a home run. The facilities are clean, the food is good and the ambiance is spectacular!!! The men's change room is fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, q-tips, cotton balls??? and a hair dryer. The only thing missing (I'd say) is some hair product. read more

finally got the chance to try this place over the weekend...,heard so much hype so decided it was time.... let me say it upfront right now, the spa is just like any upscale spa in vancouver...like spa utpoia etc..the attention to detail is superb...from the ambiance, to the free drinks, lockers, robes etc...if you go with the spa option, it entitles you to experience the "baths" too. no need to pay separately....after the spa time...you are free to roam around and experience the baths for as long as you like. for the "bath" part...its merely a sequence of hot tub/pool and then into a cold pool then sit on a lawn chair and relax....the pools look old to be honest...there is a cold pool with a waterfall but only for 1 person only....a couple will be tight for a pool. if memory serves me right, there are 2 hot bubbly pools and several cold ones. robes are not free if using the bath area only...$13 to rent!! rip off in my opinion!! spa utopia or any high end spas in Vancouver include the use of a robe. there are water and tea stations nearby for a drink...in the reception/lounge area...they have cold lemon/cucumber water, as well as pineapple and watermelon slices for guests. the place demands silence...its a relaxation and reflection kind of venue. even with a partner, you are encouraged to whisper when talking...there are saunas and steam rooms all over too. plus 2 sunrooms and several decks with recliners to relax and soak in the sun, scenery, and mountain views...the entire place is surrounded by forests...birds chirping are an everyday thing...and oh yeah...there is a place called hammock heaven with 5 hammocks! people take naps here in their speedos or swim shorts or robes...so go figure.. in my opinion, its merely a high end community center....to use the pools or baths as they are called...you pay $65....to soak and take in the scenery...nothing fun to do inside...plus maintain silence at all times....and the worst part for all who are social media savy and selfie fans...cellphones are NOT allowed to be brought into the pool area. only at reception! there are staff who walk around and monitor people. there are no grottos or man-made caves or mountain like shrines or bridges or roman like designs in the pool/ baths area...dont be misled by their advertising... for a place to use hot tubs and saunas and steams rooms, its a bit steep for $65/pax...no outside food too and in/out privileges....to try once is enough for me. not going back for sure...i felt bored after 1 hr...but stayed an extra 30mins...to lie down and relax...i'd rather go paddle boarding to be honest. tip: if you are checked in at a whistler hotel, make sure to ask for 10% discount vouchers, or at the tourism office...there is free parking there and its only a 7 min drive from the village entrance... cheers!! read more

The spa is nice and clean. The baths are very relaxing and the set up is amazing. The only thing I didn't like is the military technique to keep everyone quiet. The staff are not very nice when asking people to stay quiet. read more

An absolute gem found in Whistler. We were told by many locals to come relax here for a few hours and wow were they right. We opted for just the $65 spa pass which gets you access to all the baths and 2 towels and a lock for the locker room. For an extra $12 you get to borrow one of their bath robes which in my opinion isnt necessary unless you plan on doing your relaxation part of the spa outside and out of the water. From first glimpse the lobby is very beautiful. You go down to undress and get a locker to put all your belongings in (yes, no phones allowed in the spa). From there you head outside to enjoy your spa experience. The staff recommends doing a hot bath for 10-15 min, then submerging yourself in an ice bath for 10seconds, and then relaxing for another 10-15min until you repeat the cycle. The hot portion consisted of either a steam room or sauna. The ice bath is either submerging yourself in a very cold pool or going under a man-made waterfall (almost super cold). Lastly, the relaxation can either be sitting in front of a fire, swinging in a hammock, lying down, or finding a nice chair to just hang out in. The spa experience cost us $150 (including bath robes). We stayed for 3 hours and this was the best spa I've ever been to. Parking was plenty and we had no problems finding the spa. 10/10 would recommend and come back. read more

This was my one indulgence in Whistler. I spent a couple of hours here relaxing. I followed the protocol - hot, cold, relax. It was really amazing. My only complaint, and I will take it up with management, was the locker room attendant who laughed at me when I had trouble with the lockers. I would definitely go back! read more

What an experience for my first massage. Kind, curtious and well kept. The rooms we're cleanly, considering you would hop back in a pool anyways, I wasn't really picky. The massage was great, I think my mistake was falling asleep for 10mins? Yikes, don't do that. Lastly, the restrooms were clean but the trash cans were full throughout the day. Keeping an eye on that would probably my biggest suggestion for improvement. read more

This was a public pool, NOT a spa. EXTREMELY over crowded, think a gym during peak hours...I couldn't even get into the dry sauna. Who wants to sit shoulder to shoulder with someone in a sauna? I had to wait to get into my locker because so many people were crowding the lockers. The relaxing rooms were all crowded. The locker room is enormous, I couldn't find the bathrooms. I could hear people talking outside during my massage. It was not quiet like the signs all suggest. I felt more stressed at this "spa" than I did when I walked in. For the money, go to a hotel for a massage. The lights are also very bright in the massage room. Also, I get that it was a Saturday. But a pricey spa that's supposed to be quiet should limit the number of bookings and pool goers. read more

Not worth the price in my opinion. Pro Tips: 1. Bring your own bath robes and save $13 each. 2. Buy the Costco gift card. You get $100 worth for $80. 3. For a similar experience, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler offers a $35 day pass to their Health Club (outdoor hot tubs (NO COLD BATHS THOUGH), pools, sauna, gym, pool-side service, eucalyptus steam rooms, etc.) with better service and more luxurious amenities. It's $79 /each to access the baths. For that price point, I was expecting a more luxurious experience. Pros: * Good cold baths. * Good steam and sauna rooms. Cons: * The shower/change rooms are outdated and dingey. * The solarium rooms are furnished with cheap ikea chairs. * No poolside service. * Refresh for towels are only available at the front desk. * Upstairs bistro location is awkward for lounging in bathrobes. * Facility needs updates (creaky floorboards, worn-out wood structures) read more

an amazing experience - great massage therapists, quiet and relaxing environment, a "method" I haven't gotten anywhere else something to be experienced I have been here a total of 3 times - and would go back again - it's relaxing and a great sensation for me... read more

Pretty heavenly. This compound of luxury services is well managed, well staffed and very attentive to important details. Talking and cell phones are discouraged, which means a far better experience for all. It's a very enjoyable place with very enjoyable staff members, once you quickly get over the strange feeling that you're about to be brainwashed (hahaha). We were shocked how busy it seemed, yet things happen quickly and efficiently. Everything is clean and organized. Lots of traffic and moving parts, yet everything you do is high quality and satisfying. The hot pools are hot. The saunas and steam rooms are uncluttered, clean and quiet. The atmosphere is respectful and conducive to etiquette. Beautiful people everywhere. Clean robes, lockers and towels. Solid construction of all buildings and landscapes. Just a well thought out space and an; impressive operation. The massages were amazing too. The experience was nothing but professional and rejuvenating. I was allowed to discover and dispose of hidden soreness I never knew I had. The full waiting area cleared in less than a few minutes. Masseuses were well dressed, very professional and personable. It's just an amazing experience all around. It's not cheap, but you appreciate every quiet moment, every great feature and every peaceful second. When you leave, you have no regrets. My sister and nephew were thoroughly impressed with the gourmet bites in the cafe, too. They rave about the quality and how delicious their items were. You'll literally want to return the next day. Well done Scandinavian Spa! You really made our trip. (No personal photos because, well, that wouldn't be respectful). PS - I think I'm in love with my masseuse. read more

This review is mainly for the customer service... I had heard of this place for years and was excited to finally give it a try, but after this, I am not sure I will go back - my experience was anything but relaxing and it made me miss a good chunk of a bridal shower I drove up to attend there. First off, the lobby was pretty chaotic when I came in. The party I was supposed to meet was already in the lobby with their towels so I got in line to meet up with them what I thought would be a few minutes later... Instead, a woman pulled me out of the line and said that I was on a waiting list and gave me a letter... then she took the letter back and said I could go in since I didn't have a guy with me... I told her I was there for a bridal shower and she said to wait in line again (by then another 10+ people had gotten in line). When I finally arrived at the front desk, the man asked me if I already had a locker - I said no - and then he said I was in luck, I can go in and to have a good time and then waved me away. Confused why everyone else had at least gotten towels and I was waved away with nothing, I turned to leave when he called me back and asked if I had an account already and then proceeded to sign me up for one. When it came to paying, I presented him with my voucher and he said he wouldn't take it. He didn't even try to scan the barcode. Instead, he said I had to email it if it wasn't already printed (the instructions said nothing about it needing to be printed...) and there is no wifi there to use to email the voucher to them so then they told me I couldn't go in. Another person came over and told me that they can help me print the voucher, so we did that and when I returned to the front desk, the man who had been helping me was gone and I had to get in line again. This put me behind my group about 40 minutes by now. This time the woman who checked me in just smirked, acted like I should already know the rules, where things were located, and how the pools were supposed to be used and that it was an inconvenience to explain it to me. Then she charged me more than what was listed in the website - I showed her a screenshot of the website declaring the price and she said no, that is not correct and wouldn't honor it... and then waved me away. I asked the manager about being charged for a higher rate than what was advertised on the website where I got the voucher and she also said it was not correct, wouldn't honor the price, thanked me for bringing the wrong price to her attention and waved me away. You would think after all that hassle, they would at least honor the price that was advertised on the website!! ... and when I finally found my group, by then they were already half way through! :(. So overall, yes the pools, options for heat, cold and relaxing were nice, but the customer service in my first 40+ minutes there just ruined it for me. I wasn't stressed coming in, but after interacting with them, I was so frustrated... I actually should have left but since it was for a bridal shower, I stayed and it took me an hour just to calm down so I could finally enjoy the little time I was able to be there. read more

I called to prepay for a friend and his wife's massages which they had pre-booked a few days before.  I informed the lady that it was a thank you gift from myself to them for allowing us to stay with them in Whistler. I specifically asked the phone attendant to kindly let them know that it was a thank you present from me and that their massages were taken care of. Unfortunately, they were not informed and believe that they paid for the massages as they had to leave their credit card number when they booked their massages. I am very disappointed because I wanted to ensure that (I) they were not also charged and (2) I did not want the embarrassment to have to reach out to them to let them know that we paid for their massages as they would have no idea that they were prepaid for. After contacting customer service, they were apologetic and confirmed that our friend's credit card was not charged. but took no action to inform them that they were gifted their massages. read more

Picture a happy kitten being hugged by a baby sloth and we could pretty much call it a day... First off, if you're going to venture out to this little haven in the woods, make a day of it! Pack a snack, grab a book and plan to spend a good four-five hours just getting your zen in check. The $65 admission feels a little more substantial when you spill out after a whole day of serenity then if you just make a two hour pit stop. Patience grasshopper. The concept is blissfully simple: this spa is all about quiet. Quiet body, quiet mind, quiet soul. With a mix of different hydrotherapies you traverse this outdoor spa by heating up (sauna, steam, THERMAL WATERFALL), cooling down (plunge pools, nordic shower) and relaxation (hammocks, solariums, fireplace). And repeat, repeat, repeat. For whatever reason, both times i've come here I seem to be suffering from one ailment or another. The first trip was post-birthday libations and save a healthy dose of hair of the dog, the hot, cold, relax regimen of the scadinave spa is a damn fine hangover cure! This first jaunt was during the summer and if you get the opportunity, make a fair weather trip out if only for the hammock haven! Eight hammocks perched over the pools with an epic view of the mountain. Swing, swoon, repeat. Today, my favourite cohort and I piled into the car and headed to Whistler, curious to see how the spa would stack up in the winter months. We opted to completely pamper ourselves with a deep tissue massage at hefty price tag of $165 (includes admission to the pools). The verdict? Hefty yes, but the massage was well worth it. Even with a nasty sinus cold, I left the massage pavilion the way anyone should after a deep tissue rub down - unable to speak english and with limbs like pudding. Cheers to Lindsay my masseuse for melty limb goodness (and apologies for snorking all over your massage table! Running nose vs. massage table = awkward.) The spa in the winter is out of a movie beautiful. We spent the day in the salt water thermal pools, staring out at the mountains while snow fell down on us... it's bloody magical. The nordic plunge is an evil death trap of cold but don't skip it. You'll want to, I get it. It's snowing out, why the hell would you jump into a freezing cold pool of water? But do it. I don't really understand the science but that jolt does good things to your soul. Bring a book. Bring flip flops. Bring a bathrobe (or rent one). Trust me. Embrace the quiet. They have staff (quiet police) that attend the spa and will make a point to shush you - please listen to them. The silence makes the whole experience a little more surreal and nothing ruins a quiet moment of contemplation under the waterfall quite like you shouting across the pool to your friends. Get with the zen kids. All in all, though there were a few chilly sprints between buildings and I missed my hammock love (closed for the winter) this place wooed me as much as it did the first fair weather time around. Scandinave spa we will see each other again soon. read more

A couple weekends ago a couple of my girl friends and I came here. I really do love the atmosphere and the decor. We went on a cloudy day but this weather was perfect for the spa. This was a silent spa. I wish they had a quiet area and a silent area. They had few hot tubs, cold water tubs, sauna and steam room. It was really relaxing and I did enjoy the experience. But it was pricey for what it was. It was almost $80 per person. And if you wanted to rent a robe it was another $18. Overall it was a nice experience but it's not somewhere I would go on a regular basis. But definitely check it out if you are in the area and just want to relax read more

We visited Whistler for the weekend and Scandinave was recommended to me. We had an amazing time! When we arrived, we were not sure if we wanted to just enjoy the baths or to get massages. However, when we checked in, the lady at the desk notified us of a 20% off sale on massages so we scheduled a couples massage later in the day. We enjoyed the baths for about 3 hours and had a light lunch in the cafe before our massages. We thoroughly enjoyed the cold baths and the relaxation rooms! It wasn't extremely busy so we didn't have any issues with that. It did start to rain a bit which was annoying but still enjoyable. I would suggest going on a weekday because I do see how it could get very crowded. The only negative that I have is that you have to pay for the robe rental, and it gets soaking wet. They do provide 2 towels, but I saved 1 for the showers afterwards so by the end I was stuck with a wet towel and a wet robe. read more

Perhaps the most scenic spas I've ever been to. They only do massage, no facials or other treatments and you can only do one hour or two hours, but despite those limitations, it's a must visit if you're in the Whistler area. You are also able to utilize the therapeutic baths without having a treatment appointment, no reservations required. They are open everyday; rain, snow, or shine. read more

My husband asked me if I wanted to go to the spa after snowboarding . . . well, OF COURSE! Like he even needed to ask!! We heard about this place from my sister-in-law who's been to one in Montreal. It's a really serene place with "silence" signs everywhere! There's a steam room, sauna, relaxation room, Nordic bath, and a hot bath . . . everything was very clean and peaceful (although if you go with a large group, be careful because there are "shushers" around that will lecture you if you're noisy)! We also got the deep tissue massage which hurt sooo good! I had Naomi who was pretty good at getting the kinks out, although she did things on one side that she didn't repeat on the other so I felt a little bit uneven. My husband had "the best massage ever" in his lifetime of receiving 3 massages, but still, compliments to his masseuse! When they left our room, however, they left the door open! What?! Hello ~ poor hubby had to show a little skin in order to get the door closed! Other than that, everything was perfect! Although, for the price, I think they could've included soothing teas, bottled water, robe, and slippers!! Can't believe you have to "rent" slippers!! **DISCOUNT ALERT** Stop by Costco on your way to Whistler and get your giftcards there at 20% off AND if you stop by the Whistler Visitor's Center, there's 10% off coupons there too! read more

Beautiful, quiet and overall an amazing relaxing spa experience. I have never heard of this spa before this past weekend and only wish I was introduced to this place sooner. Our girlfriends organized this event as a perfect way to end a bachelorette party. The experience was so positive that I will be coming back and bringing my fiance too. The price to enter the bath is not cheap and here are a few ways we girls saved money: 1. Purchase Wayspa and or Spafinder gift certificate when they are on promotion. We utilized the 20% off father's day discount from Wayspa.com 2. Used the gift certificates towards the 5 or 10 bath entrance coupon booklet offered at the spa. We put it towards the buy 10 pay for 8 coupon package! 3. Used the Scandinave coupon towards a massage and you will receive 10% off the massage, a bathrobe, two towels and entrance into the baths! Book a RMT massage if you have extended health benefits and claim the costs for even more savings! I hope this was helpful! read more

You're not in Kansas anymore, Toto! When I'm feeling stressed about [insert whatever applies at the moment] or just need some time to relax, this is my go to place - an ethereal spa, tucked in the woods of Whistler with level-upon-level of hydrotherapeutic bliss. I've come here with girlfriends, family, and the beau, and it's great for all of the above. You can come to the baths for the day ($58) or book a massage and your robe, towels, and bath access are included. There is Hot Stone, Thai Yoga, and Prenatal Massage, but most people choose between the Swedish ($148) or the Deep Tissue Massage ($158). If you aren't the type to sleep 'til noon (you know who you are!) or the thought of getting up early doesn't make you cringe, the spa has an early bird discount for 9am appointments that may be worth your while. If you have a health plan, simply request an RMT (no extra charge, but availability may be limited so book ahead) and, voila - the experience is (fully or partially) paid for! One of the best parts about the spa is that you can go to the baths before or after your massage (or both). I've tried starting and ending with the massage and I don't really have a favourite between these. The massage therapists are incredible - all of them (and I've seen more than a few)! The baths offer a lot of variety between the warm, cold, and relaxation areas so the hours just float on by. I love the hot baths, Eucalyptus steam bath, Nordic waterfall, cold shower, and selection of magazines that I can devour while chilling by the outdoor fireplace, on the hammocks, or in the heated solariums. If you get peckish midway through the day, Ciao Thyme Bistro has soup, salad, tea, and gluten free options. It's a tad expensive but it's the only place around - and the view is great. In terms of service, you get a lock, towel, and bathrobe upon entry. The change rooms are impeccable and include everything you need - lockers, q-tips, cotton balls, plastic bags for wet suits, hair dryers, lotion, soap, and body wash, shampoo, and conditioner that smells similar to the peppermint kind that Aveda has. What I love most about this place is that they take care of everything! You will leave energized and ready to hit up the town, Whistler style. read more

Scandinave Spa - The baths (Sept 2012)... - Massage Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

What a peaceful, relaxing place near the mountains! We went in the summer when the grounds were vibrant and full of growth. While I expected the number of hot and cold pools, I was surprised by the number of saunas and relaxation rooms and outdoor decks. After our massages, we stayed on the grounds for a couple of hours - there was so much to "do" (really not do) and see. The entire staff was amazing. Andy, at the main reception, was welcoming, attentive and informative from the beginning to the end of our visit. The staff who took care of the pools and saunas were discreet and attentive. The only thing that could use some changing is the bistro - the menu was somewhat limited and some of the food is served in plastic which is kind of wasteful, especially for a place that has thoughtful environmentally deigned details like living roofs. In the end, we're looking forward to going back in the winter! read more

This is one of the coolest spas I've ever been too! My boyfriend and I took a day in the middle of our week-long ski trip to Whistler, to come and enjoy this beautiful spa. Our muscles thanked us dearly! The main lounge/sitting area is so serene with it's warm fireplace and comfy window seats. You can look outside at the snow all day and daydream. However, that's not the main reason we came here. We gotta get out there in the cold to enjoy their hot, lovely, Scandinavian baths! Once your out there, it's up to you. Do you want to enjoy the eucalyptus steam room, sauna, hot baths, cold plunges, or relax in the warm solariums with a good book. The best technique, is to cycle through it all! read more

Amazing place to relax and get away from the busy hustle and bustle of the city life. I booked a night owl Swedish massage for two which was a special they had at the time. Bring your own flip flops and bathing suit as they are not provided. Make sure you don't go while you are high on sugar or coffee as you might be tempted to chit chat. They are strict on not talking and people WILL SHUSH YOU if you do. Read they instructions carefully as doing their 3 steps will provide you the best experience. If you plan to do a massage, I would go about 1-2 hours earlier to enjoy the spa. Any longer and you'll get bored and just watch your fingers shrivel up. I can confidently say this won't be my last time coming here. I would highly recommend coming once during the day and once at night for the complete experience. As I've been to Scandinavia a bunch of times, this is the closest thing you'll get to the real deal. Fantastic place to bring your significant other! read more

My three friends and I planned a spa day at the Scandinavian Spa last week. I and the collective were very stoked to get away from 'LIFE' for a full day of relaxation. We were uber excited to visit and even had a group chat to help get through the weeks ahead (it's been a tough few months for all of us) and our 'reward' would be a spa day. Overall our experience was good but a few key elements were missing. Note: I'm a pretty seasoned spa attendee :) Check in: A long lineup with chaos to sign in, some folks were in the bath line up instead of the massage. Yes, there's signage BUT many didn't see this until the line moved. Some guests in the line were snarky because they had to wait, immediately the energy shifted. The staff moved the line in approx 5-8 minutes, no apology was given. I've had better check-ins, I'm a sucker for solid service from start to finish. Satisfactory experience with room to improve. Venue: Decent free parking if you come early, which we did. A nice little trek to the entrance which heightened the excitement. I enjoyed the layout, it was easy to maneuver from pools, steam and sauna. I also liked the massage area could be accessed from the change rooms. My favourite part of the day was hanging out in the pools and sauna. Massage: My friend and I booked an RMT for Swedish deep tissue. My friend had a completely different experience than me; she ranked her experience an 8 out of 10. My experience would be a 6, my therapist was good but he wasn't putting in any extra essential efforts. He didn't ask IF I wanted essential oils or music. I did not like that my room was bright, I prefer dim lightening to relax and the worst part there was NO music :( I felt as if I was getting a massage at my Physiotherapist's office and not in a relaxing haven. Post massage I chatted with my friend who went in an hour before me, she had all of the elements I love. You would think a spa of this calibre would provide a consistent experience across the board. For a 60min $189 session it wasn't really worth the price. IF, I go up again key word IF I would only access the pools for $60. I felt relaxed after the hydrotherapy session and a enjoyed a relaxing snooze in the saunas and solariums. In a nutshell the Spa staff are great at running a spa meaning, keeping things in order and up-keeping a spa image. However I don't think customer service is a priority. The three staff I interacted with (check-in spa and massage attendant and therapist) were kind but not as friendly and helpful as I had envisioned I don't think they valued us for choosing this venue. Last tip, go on a weekday and in the morning to avoid crowds. read more

Came here 2 days in a row after snowboarding and it was so well worth it! The 3 step process, hot, cold, relax, was truly refreshing and relaxing after a long day on the slopes. At first I was hesitant about the complete silence, but it definitely added to the entire experience. I also booked the 60 min swedish massage for 160 CAD. The massage was soothing and it helped me unwind. I bought some wayspa giftcards on the costco website for additional savings, but make sure to buy it the day before otherwise they may not be activated in time! read more

We did the vip thermal journey & my expectations were blown out of the water. They have a lot of fun options like steam rooms, saunas, & solariums to relax in. I thought the silence police were funny. I enjoyed the yoga room a lot, it was a nice touch. Of course the pools were awesome too. My favourite was the eucalyptus steam room. The ambience of this place is amazing, + I love the lounge upstairs. Nice touch. read more

Overall, the experience was "meh." The restorative massage was good, but not extraordinary (6/10). And the prices were obscene ($310 CAD for a 55 minute massage). The restorative massage I booked was $25-30 more than the Swedish massage, but I could discern no significant difference from a typical massage. So, if you do go - just stick to the Swedish. It appears that their justification/argument for the high prices is the added feature of the hot baths, sauna, steam rooms, and cold plunges - but it just wasn't worth it to me. I guess you really need to be a certain type of person/personality to enjoy this type of experience - one that I clearly was not. The no speaking/total silence atmosphere struck me as both surreal & sort of creepy. I felt like I was in a commune or some dystopian scene from a Netflix series. All the silent, white robed men & women wandering around was just not for me. And, there were a lot of "white robes" wandering around the day I was there. Very crowded - never more than 3 feet away from a stranger in all of the pools or rooms. I've been coming to Whistler regularly since 1999, and have been told many times that this spa was "not to be missed." But in this case, it was a "not for me." read more

Came here on a light snowing day in mid January, what a perfect spa experience. The whole place was nicely designed with wooden structures, simple yet luxurious. I loved that they require you to keep silence for the entire time you are in the pool and spa area. It really makes it a relaxing experience, just the sound of the water, wind and nature. The place has two decent sized hot baths (38C and 39C), three Nordic cold pools (11C,12C and 13C), three sauna/steam areas, and multiple resting and relaxing rooms. The sauna and steam rooms were scented with eucalyptus oil, it felt so relaxing and calming to the body and mind despite the hot temperature inside those rooms. After being warm and toasty, I dunked myself in the ice cold Nordic bath, I got a slight spa buzz, a natural high. There was also a yoga studio where people can go in to do some stretches. Again doing everything in silent was such an enhanced experience. Especially on the day we visited, it was slightly snowing, sitting in the hot pool and surrounded by white snow piles, snow flakes flew over your head and melt on your face, the ultimate soothing touch of nature. One of the hot pool also has a waterfall in the center where you can sit under the waterfall and enjoy the warm water pouring over your head. I loved my visit to this place! (My only complaint was that the bath robe was not included in the admission. I got the adventure combo package of snowshoeing and spa, it costed extra $13 to rent the bath robe. I mean...com'on, as if $79 for admission wasn't enough.) Anywho, don't bother paying extra to rent it, because the bath robe eventually got wet and cold, and you don't want to wear it anyway. Just use the towels, they gave you two towels, one to use outside, and save the other one for when u are showering. Though I broke the rule and snatched a couple of photos just before they are closing (no guests in the pools anymore). It was just so beautiful at night time. I'm happy to take them down from this review if anyone contacts me. Sorrie, couldn't help it. :p read more

This was my 7th time doing a massage and then the baths, and it is always a very enjoyable experience. Over the past 6 years, prices sure have gone up by a lot, but I keep coming back because it is worth it. And over that time they have made some updates such as a new building that has silent rooms with mini beds, an indoor fire, Lululemon yoga mats and blocks ($$$) a sauna and another eucalyptus steam room (the new one is much steamier than the original). There are also heated hammocks which are quite amazing, I've never seen anything like it, but you need to try it. They are also weighted, so on a cold day/night it a perfect place to read a book or gaze at the stars. Another thing I've noticed is that they have many, many more people walking around to ensure silence. This is really needed because some people bring their phones or talk very loudly with their friends (not sure how you miss the signs to put them away and to be quiet!). read more

The hot stones are magical. We had two 90 minute massages, they were absolutely lovely. Professional, relaxing, invigorating, what a day off from skiing. No kids, no noise, no talking. Tubs are nice, but you can literally relax for hours in the sauna and sun rooms, or just sitting out by the fire. Why not 5 stars? Two reasons... They don't provide slippers, robes, etc. All these are extra fees in an already fairly pricey environment. $12 each for a robe? Really? After I just paid $400 for the two of us to get in, get a massage and enjoy the baths? Second is that they miss the opportunity to wow people. There are just a couple water fountains, they could easily walk around with someone offering small cups of cold tea or something. You need to hydrate in that environment. They also have a bit too much concrete, looks very dated. I will certainly go back. No talking, so try not to scream when you jump into the cold pool! read more

I'm going to say something totally sacrilegious to SS peeps, I'm sure. I freaking hate the cold plunge. Every part of me hates it. But the truth is, there is something to it. The relaxed muscles to complete muscle clench leaves every muscle relaxed by the end of your time. The site is beautiful with plenty of options. Things I wish I'd brought with me: 1. A hair brush (they provide blow dryers) 2. A paperback book. The relax component is grossly underrated and I was jealous of those with books (since tech is not allowed) Really will be back... Very much enjoyed it for our anniversary, and will enjoy it all the more after a day of riding. (Cons: no real restaurant if you hadn't planned ahead, people making out - come on now... That can wait!) read more

Make sure you book early if you want an RMT massage! They're crazy popular because of extended benefits. You might even need to book more than a month in advance if you want a weekend appointment. They're less busy on weekdays, so we were able to book two RMT massages at the same time. If you have never been to the Scandinave baths, you owe it to yourself to at least give it a try. There are enough tubs and rooms here to last you an entire day. I'd suggest coming a few hours early prior to your massage so you can relax and decompress prior to your appointment. If you come on a weekday, there's a lot less people so you'll really feel like you're in an exclusive place. The wood burning sauna and the eucalyptus steam rooms were the stars of the day. They make for such a relaxing experience! If you like chatting with your spa partner, this is not the place to be. You will see the word "SILENCE" plastered all around the place. Some may not like this rule, but this helps maintain that relaxing atmosphere that most are here for. We're already returning guests, and we're definitely looking forward to our next visit already. read more

Spa was good staff was pretty rude tho We were rushed into our massages and not very well informed on how the spa worked. Over priced for the atmosphere of the staff they could have been much more pleasant read more

Had a nice experience. I have been twice. It is no talking no cell phones. We enjoyed our time . Clean, quiet, beautiful escape . It's a $10 taxi from the village and $80 per person. I found it sort of tacky however that when I presented my BCAA membership to pay for myself and my fiancé the girl only gave me the discount for one of us ( it's 15% and I worked for BCAA ...we are both members and I was the one paying so just because he didn't have his wallet I found that rude.). In my opinion , give the discount to the person who is paying. The front desk was rude to me and it didn't feel special when she got weird about the discount . I would have normally left but I have been to the spa before and I didn't want my fiancé to miss out. Pools are nice. It was a Monday so not overly busy at first . You can't reserve so just come in and hope to be let in . People are really good about the silence and no phones . The steam rooms are great but the sauna is nothing special . It's a tourist trap so make sure if you have a discount from your resort or from online you have it prepared as they are not friendly at the front . I think they forget this is a once in a lifetime experience for some . Bring a water bottle. We maxed out at 2.5 hours. Robes cost extra so if you're staying a nicer hotel and don't mind it getting wet, bring theirs. Very chill vibes. read more

Greatest spa experience I've ever had. No devices or taking allowed. Multiple hot and cold experiences. Food is fresh, healthy, delicious and inexpensive. Very reasonably priced facility, overall, considering all it entails. Deep tissue massage was very effective. Also, they have a buy three and get 15% off that was a terrific deal. I ended up spending the entire day there and am completely sold on the validity of cold water healing. read more

Just spent the most relaxing three days with my daughter who also enjoyed the entire experience. The silence was most welcome. Hot tubs an absolute pleasure. Best of all were massages by Mary Ann. So gentle. So thorough. The massage professional was especially considerate of my 88 years. Spent time in sun and shade reading in complete peace. Even lost some unwanted weight in the process. I'll be back! Ben N-S. read more
