A relaxing retreat in Whistler has been named Canada’s best resort-based spa in the 11th annual World Spa Awards.

The Whistler Spa at the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler was crowned Canada’s best resort spa for 2025.

It beat out other highly rated nominees, including the Ancient Cedars Spa at Wickaninnish Inn in Tofino, Pacific Mist Spa at Kingfisher Pacific Resort & Spa, and the spa at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

The Four Seasons’ spa in Whistler invites guests to relax and embrace their natural surroundings.

“We offer a haven where the elements of nature, the spirit of community and the richness of culture converge to create a truly immersive experience,” it says on its website.

Its spa treatments feature products from Indigenous-owned skincare line Sḵwálwen Botanicals, named after the Squamish word for heart. Signature treatments include the Sea to Sky Massage, the Apres Mountain Massage, and a body treatment featuring moisturizing and firming masks.

The spa property has a cedar sauna and heated outdoor pool for relaxation after treatments.

It has been a banner year for the Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler.

This summer, it was named the number one resort in the country as part of the 30th anniversary of Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards.

According to the Four Seasons Resort Whistler, which is located at the base of Whistler Blackcomb, the recognition by Travel + Leisure is “a proud honour.”

Four Seasons Resort Whistler is a luxurious mountain retreat nestled in the heart of the resort municipality. You can enjoy world-class amenities, impeccable service, and stunning surroundings while exploring Whistler’s famous slopes.

The awards and accolades continue to pour in for other B.C. destinations, with a small, remote island with fewer than 500 people being named one of the world’s best adventures.

And those looking to discover some new downtowns can find some of the best in the entire Rockies right here in the province.
