Are you Ready to Relax Yet?

The Whistler Spa scene offers many options, for whatever budget you have in mind. Many of the hotels actually have a spa located on-site, meaning you can wear your bathrobe straight from your room to the massage table, and then head over to the on-site hot tub for a final relaxation session.

Many of us have scoped out the local spas, like Scandinave, which cover all the basis, massage, hot pools and steam rooms. Especially when making a full day of luxurious relaxation, they give us more bang for our hard earned dollars. However, if you are looking to splurge, don’t be afraid to go big at the Fairmont and Four Seasons for a really magical moment.
