The Spa at the Four Seasons

There is no denying an 80-minute Sea to Sky Massage, delivered with extended strokes, combined with warm river rocks, heated towels and calming scents, followed by a seaweed and salt back scrub at The Spa at the Four Seasons, will put a guest into a bliss-induced coma. But really take the treatment to the edge with a pre-jog on a treadmill, made more pleasant by selecting a video scene that has you running through national parks in the comfort of the spa’s modern, multi-faceted workout room and studio, which is complimentary for spa guests. “Guests can be on a treadmill or upright bike and feel like they are getting a unique indoor experience,” says Spa Director Caitlin Hubbard

of the interactive screen programs. “Fitness is definitely a part of wellness. We also offer complimentary fitness classes like yoga, Pilates and boot camp.” The 18th-century poet Alexander Pope agreed: “Strength of mind is exercise, not rest.” But fortunately at The Spa at the Four Seasons guests can have their cake and eat it too — specifically poolside on the outdoor patio, which boasts food-and-beverage service for spa guests, in addition to heated pools and hot tubs situated at the base of Blackcomb Mountain. Things like warming towel racks and pre- and post-treatment relaxation lounges are some of many luxurious details that have earned the spa the title of #1 Hotel Spa in Canada by Travel + Leisure. Guests leave feeling both pumped and pampered.
