Where to Relax in Whistler

A typical vacation usually includes some form of relaxing but when one thinks of traveling to Whistler, images of skiing, snowboarding, and all the other outdoor activities come to mind- a far cry from the resting often associated with a holiday. It's true that you can fill your days with being outside in the mountains but there is also a quieter side of Whistler, one that is meant to soothe aches and pains as well as quiet the mind. These peaceful havens can be found all over, you just have to know where to look. We have gathered where to relax in Whistler for a welcome repose after a day on the hill.

Scandinave Spa

Surrounded by lush forest and stunning views, the Scandinave Spa should be part of your Whistler experience. Its highlight is hydrotherapy in the form of hot and cool baths that are to be enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The spa asks for complete silence while you enjoy the baths to allow for inner stillness and complete relaxation. Melt even further away by adding a massage onto your visit.

Avello Spa and Health Club

Located in the Westin Resort and Spa, the Avello is pure luxury. It features 70 treatments and an overall holistic experience. Before a treatment, visit the health club for a workout and some reprieve in one of the eucalyptus steam rooms.
