Stepping into this thermal spa, just a drive away from Vancouver feels like you're escaping into a natural oasis somewhere far away. Tucked away in the forest with a view of the surrounding mountains, the sounds of this spa are solely chirping birds and a flowing creek.

It's impossible not to feel relaxed here, thanks to the lack of technology, silence, and surrounding nature.

Scandinave Spa Whistler is about an hour and a half drive from the city, but a day spent here feels like entering a different word, letting your worries melt away in the steaming pools. It becomes even more magical in the winter months, covered in a fresh blanket of snow.

The outdoor spa allows you to roam around, stopping at the stations along the way. With steam rooms, cold plunges, saunas, hot pools, and rest areas — there's a lot to choose from.

The spa encourages guests to take on the thermal journey of enjoying the heat for 15 minutes, braving the cold for 30 seconds, and relaxing for 15 minutes. You can repeat the cycle throughout your time here.

Spend all day wandering the beautiful spa, fuelling up at their cafe.

There are no phones allowed in the spa, and no talking allowed, so you're disconnecting in every way possible.

If you want your weekend getaway, or even day trip, to leave you feeling recharged in every way, this is the spot for you.
