Miraj Hammam Spa

Firstly, this spa is absolutely beautiful and unlike anything we’ve seen in the city so far. Secondly, they offer a unique Hammam and Gommage service. Which basically a steam and exfoliation before each of their massages. So you definitely need to check them out.

Halcyon Hot Springs

The Halcyon Hot Springs is a bit of a trek, but it’s totally worth it since it’s located in a quaint village with gorgeous views of the Monashee Mountains… but if that’s not already enticing enough, this place has water so pure that it’s said to actually have antidepressant qualities.
Where: Box 37, Nakusp
Yaletown Wellness Center

If you’re looking for a unique TLC experience then you should check out Yaletown Wellness Center. And while it’s not exactly a spa, it’s a relaxing place to take care of body ailments. So sit back and relax while you enjoy acupuncture, massage, micro needling, @halcyonhotcupping, and more!

Shangri La Hotel

We all know the Shangri-La hotel is a good time, but not everyone has explored the amazing spa that’s inside. They have aromatic infinity baths, tea services, and an extensive treatment menu—so we’d definitely consider it one of the best spas around Vancouver. And if you’re looking to stay in the city to detox, this is your spot.
Where: 1128 West Georgia Street
Sense at Hotel Georgia

And finally, we’re going to cap the list with a seriously bougie spa at the Hotel Georgia. A spa experience here will cost you a few hundred bucks but if you really need some quality R&R at an upscale location, it might just be worth it. You can enjoy all your classic spa services but with elevated products and experienced practitioners.
Where: 801 West Georgia Street
If you make your way through this list of the best spas around Vancouver, we’re pretty sure you’ll become the most zen person in the city – and that’s certainly a title we’re working towards! Enjoy some prime relaxation and rejuvenation, folks.
