Vancouver - Circle Wellness
Find your calm in the middle of the city at Circle Wellness on Granville Island. This hidden gem turns repurposed shipping containers into private spa pods, giving you your own little bubble of bliss. Begin your visit with an open-air rain shower, soak in a cedar tub, and step into the glowing WellPod sauna with Himalayan salt walls, soothing aromas, and soft lighting. Cool off with a refreshing plunge before stretching out on heated riverstone beds. Every visit is quiet, peaceful, and entirely at your own pace.
Victoria - HAVN Saunas
Nestled on Victoria’s Inner Harbour, HAVN Saunas transforms a repurposed 1943 marine barge into a floating sanctuary of wellness. Guests follow a hydrotherapy circuit through three uniquely designed saunas, steaming hot tubs, bracing cold plunge pools, and exfoliation showers. The relaxation cabin offers a quiet retreat to pause, breathe deeply, and fully unwind. Every detail at HAVN encourages mindfulness and presence. Without cell phones, visitors can fully disconnect and reconnect with themselves and the natural beauty of the harbour. The combination of warm heat, cool plunges, and serene surroundings makes this spa escape both refreshing and rejuvenating, leaving you ready to embrace the day with renewed energy and clarity.
Nanaimo - Grotto Spa
The Grotto is a tranquil journey of self-care designed to restore balance and calm. Guests are encouraged to move at their own pace through a series of soothing spaces that invite relaxation and reflection. Slip into the warm mineral waters and feel tension melt away, or stand beneath the gentle rush of the waterfall for a refreshing burst of energy. The cedar saunas offer gentle heat that soothes the body and quiets the mind, while the outdoor Garden Patio provides a tranquil setting to breathe deeply and unwind by the glow of firelight.
Tofino - Tofino Resort + Marina's Floating Sauna
Docked in the serene Clayoquot Sound, Tofino Resort + Marina’s Remote Floating Sauna offers a private, nature-immersive experience. Guests embark on a scenic 30-minute boat ride to a remote dock, where they can enjoy a wood-fired cedar sauna, cold plunges in the Pacific Ocean, and relaxation by the fire. Designed for small groups, the experience provides complete privacy and tranquility without cell service or Wi-Fi, allowing guests to fully disconnect and unwind in nature’s quiet embrace.
Salt Spring Island - Salty Pear
Tucked away on Salt Spring Island, Salty Pear offers a unique and rejuvenating sauna escape. This wood-fired barrel sauna invites guests to enjoy a hands-on, self-guided experience. Starting the fire adds a sense of connection to the ritual, while the warmth of the cedar interior provides cozy comfort. Guests can alternate between the soothing heat and the crisp island air, allowing the body to awaken and the mind to settle. The intimate space, accommodating up to four people, ensures a personal journey, with the serene surroundings of Salt Spring Island providing the perfect backdrop.
