A modern reincarnation of ancient traditions, a spa is a place of healing and relaxation, where peace of mind, body and spirit are restored. And, as more and more people rediscover their therapeutic effects, spas are reshaping the way we live our lives.

With its inherent beauty, cultural mix and eco-oriented nature, Vancouver, Coast and Mountains spas are as diverse as its landscape. They nestle in rainforests, crest mountains, and cling to shorelines, with services that are an innovative blend of traditional esthetics and new-age, alternative therapies - the range is astounding. Add to this gourmet (albeit calorie-counted) food, first class accommodations, and facilities that include everything from eco-adventures to PGA designed golf courses, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect vacation getaway.

Harrison Hot Springs, where natural hot mineral springs have long been the focus of well being, now boasts a luxurious spa refuge offering an array of soothing therapies, including a mineral hot springs soak, reiki and stone massage. Mighty Fraser Country is also home to a large number of excellent day spas. Choose from wilderness retreats or luxurious full service spas and salons.

Along the Sunshine Coast, a plethora of holistic options exist. Health and wellness is high on the list of priorities for many on the Sunshine Coast and visitors will discover unique spa getaways, blending the charm of the Coast's many bed and breakfasts and resorts with the many eco-activities in the area. Why not try a “Spa without Walls”, and enjoy your spa treatment in the great outdoors.

Spas are now major draws to Whistler where, after a day of hiking, golfing or skiing, a bounty of pampering treatments awaits. From facials, and salt-glow rubs to Acupuncture and Ayervedic steam baths you will be able to find the treatment that targets your specific needs. Whistler is also home to a traditional Javanese spa where visitors are given the "royal" treatment and leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. In the summer, take in a mountain top yoga class for a truly uplifting yoga experience. Namaste.

Urban day spas are equally diverse and often reflect the hottest trends in the spa industry. In Vancouver, you’ll find everything from Canada’s first authentic Middle Eastern hamman, a traditional steam, gommage (body scrub) and massage, to spas offering esoteric services such as aura readings and energy balancing massages, as well as those that combine complimentary steams, swims, saunas and low-fat snacks. There are even  spa outlets at the Vancouver International Airport where a quick foot massage can do wonders for jetlag.  Can it really get any better than that?
