De-stress and Decompres at Scandinave Spa

-

Sea to Sky locals and resort guests in need of some “me time” — to de-stress from the rigours of work and life pressures, to take a break from responsibi­lity or to relax those muscles after a strenuous outdoor adventure or workout — have a place to go in Whistler this fall. Scandinave Spa is open and ready to help you find peace of mind and body.

The Scandinave Spa is home to both indoor and outdoor Scandinavi­an-style spa amenities, including varying temperatur­e hot baths, stimulatin­g cold features, saunas and steam rooms as well as multiple relaxation areas. It’s located just a few minutes north of Whistler Village, on the edge of the spruce-cedar forest next to Lost Lake Park, for you to refresh and regenerate in a quiet, digital-free environmen­t.

While the business is operating at 50 per cent capacity because of

COVID protocols, no reservatio­ns are required for the bath experience; however, there’s a waitlist to get in on weekends and statutory holidays. Those who book a massage can jump the queue and gain admission to the other facilities, says Michelle Leroux, sales and marketing manager.

While spa staff wear masks, “guests in the baths where the hydrothera­py takes place, you don’t need to wear a mask, because social distancing is in place there, and there’s signage all around indicating the capacity at the various facilities. There is also directiona­l signage for walking around the spa,” Leroux says. “Basically, it’s the same experience as before; only there’s fewer people.”

Scandinave is offering special pricing on monthly passes that are valid on weekdays for October and November. 1-888-935-2423 | scandinave.com/whistler/en/
