New Whistler spa wins awards

After a year of business, the Scandinave Spa Whistler has won the “Best Spa” designation in the “Best of Whistler” awards and has been listed as one of Canada’s top spas by website Spas of America.

“To be recognized locally and internationally within our first year of operation is a testament to the outstanding experience the Scandinave Spa Whistler provides to each of our guests,” says Annique Aird, General Manager. “Our spa offers a unique experience with true relaxation in the heart of nature.”

The recognition in Pique magazine’s “Best of Whistler” awards illustrates the Scandinave Spa’s relationship with the local community. The news magazine called the win “a landslide” with Scandinave receiving twice as many votes as the runner-up.

The Scandinave Spa Whistler is spread over three acres and overlooks Whistler’s incredible landscape, offering the experience of hydrotherapy in the heart of nature. This year-round activity cleanses the body and skin while improving blood circulation and physical conditioning and producing the effect of increased wellness and intense relaxation.

Occurring in three stages, just a few hours are required to fully enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy. In sequence, the body is first heated in the Eucalyptus steam bath, hot baths or wood burning Finnish sauna. Then, the body is cooled quickly in the Nordic waterfalls, cold baths or shower.

Finally, relaxation takes place in the serenity of solariums, hammocks, terraces or by the outdoor fireplace. And for the ultimate relaxation, combine a Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Thai Yoga or Hot Stone massage with the baths experience.
