SCANDINAVE SPA WHISTLER CELEBRATES ONE YEAR OF BUSINESS WITH TOP SPA ACCOLADES

Destination For Relaxation And Well-Being Named Whistler’s Best Spa

After just one year of business, the Scandinave Spa Whistler has made an impression in their local community and beyond.  The spectacular destination won the Pique Newsmagazine’s “Best Spa” designation in the “Best of Whistler” awards. The website Spas of America also recognized Scandinave Spa Whistler as one of Canada’s top 100 spas in their annual listing.

“To be recognized locally and internationally within our first year of operation is a testament to the outstanding experience the Scandinave Spa Whistler provides to each of our guests,” says Annique Aird, General Manager. “Our spa offers a unique experience with true relaxation in the heart of nature.”

The recognition from the Pique illustrates the Scandinave Spa’s relationship with the local community.  The newsmagazine called the win “a landslide” with Scandinave receiving twice as many votes as the runner-up.

Spas of America’s Top 100 listing is based on consumer behavior on the website, offering insight on what spa consumers around the world are viewing and the types of spas they are interested in. Only seven British Columbian spas were recognized in the Top 100 listing.

The Scandinave Spa Whistler opened in February 2010. The spa is spread over three acres and overlooks Whistler’s incredible landscape, offering the experience of hydrotherapy in the heart of nature. This year-round activity cleanses the body and skin while improving blood circulation and physical conditioning and producing the effect of increased wellness and intense relaxation.

Occurring in three stages, just a few hours are required to fully enjoy the benefits of hydrotherapy. In sequence, the body is first heated in the Eucalyptus steam bath, hot baths or wood burning Finnish sauna. Then, the body is cooled quickly in the Nordic waterfalls, cold baths or shower. Finally, relaxation takes place in the serenity of solariums, hammocks, terraces or by the outdoor fireplace. And for the ultimate relaxation, combine a Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports, Thai Yoga or Hot Stone massage with the baths experience.
