SIX BEST SPAS IN VANCOUVER
Vancouver, on everyone’s travel hit list thanks to the 2010 Winter Olympics, is a fine place to visit any time. Let us count the reasons: its gem-like setting amid mountains and ocean, its casual West Coast ambience, its eclectic mix of fine dining and yes, its fabulous spas.
In the category of Vancouver’s best spas, here, in alphabetical order, are six of our favourites:
The Spa at Shangri-La Hotel
A visit to Chi, one of the city’s newest spas, in the swanky Shangri-La Hotel, is all about personalized service.

Miraj Hammam Spa
Miraj Hammam Spa owner, Surinder Bains, likes to joke that she offers a Moroccan experience without transferring at hectic Heathrow International Airpot. No joke. She has succeeded in transporting this steamy, Middle Eastern event to a large Vancouver following.

Skoah Spa
Walking into Skoah is like entering a fresh lemon. Okay, I know that sounds silly but think cool, lemony walls, high, exposed Yaletownish ceilings, minimalist décor with shelves of their blue and white labeled product. The whole place is as sharp as its name.

Spa Utopia
Tucked into one of Vancouver’s most dramatically set hotels (the Pan Pacific), Spa Utopia is a local success story that began in 2000 in Langley, a community east of Vancouver.

Willow Stream Spa, Fairmont Pacific Rim
At the new Fairmont Pacific Rim in downtown Vancouver, it’s all about taking the Fifth – floor that is. The entire Fifth Floor of this 22-floor hotel/residence is taken over by the spacious Willow Stream Spa, a well-equipped gym, a naturally-lit movement studio and a beautifully-designed, outdoor terrace with walk outs from both men’s and ladies’ lounges.
