Canada’s first Lush spa opens in Vancouver & it’s an immersive wellness playground

If you’re looking for a welcoming spa experience to try in the new year, get ready for the all-new Lush Spa on Robson Street – the first of its kind in Canada and the second Lush Spa in North America. The bright, inviting space welcomes guests into a world of relaxation that starts with intention-setting and ends in wellness from the inside out. Let’s dive in!

The location

The revamped Lush location on Robson Street joins the Lush Spa in New York in creating a playful wellness environment, where guests are free to choose from a number of bespoke treatments that explore the five senses.

Treatments come in various durations to suit every schedule, and can be personalized to fit every comfort and ability level.

Co-founder Rowena Bird shares with Curiocity that “all are welcome” at the spa, whether it’s your first spa experience or your hundredth.

As for her personal favourite Lush items, Bird shares that she, like many, is a big fan of the popular Rose Jam shower gel and intoxicating Pansy perfume, which consists of Rosemary, orange flower and galbanum.

The treatments

Before treatment, guests have the option of sitting down at the “Kitchen Table” in the entrance area of the spa to discuss which areas of their bodies (and minds) they’d like to focus on.

This includes setting intentions and exploring any Lush massage bars they’d like to incorporate into their treatment – which guests get to take home with them!
