SPA REVIEW
Under the influence of such peace,
I found it hard to drag myself out, but
I did. The bliss continued as I let myself
hang in a hammock, watching the cedar
forest above me and listening to the
birds chirping in some kind of unison. I
also sat by the outdoor fireplace to allow
my cardiovascular system to regulate
itself and blood circulation to decrease.
Each hot-cold relaxation sequence
takes about 25 to 30 minutes and should
ideally be repeated three to four times
for maximum benefit. The whole
experience normally takes about two to
three hours. But since I am known to
be an easy victim to avarice, I went on
for much longer, not knowing when I’d
visit Whistler again! However, it’s
important to remain hydrated through-
out the process so that toxins are
eliminated and optimal wellbeing
is achieved.
If you’re greedier than I am, there
is further scope for indulgence with the
ultimate relaxation massage packages,
with a lineup including Swedish,
deep tissue, Thai, yoga and registered
massage therapy; all massage packages
include the ‘Scandinavian Baths
Experience’. You could top it with a
selection of delicious and healthy
snacks and light meals that the spa
bistro offers.
Scandinave Spa is open all days of
the year, surrounded by fresh winter
snow or inundated in the sweet scent of
spruce in spring. Harmonising with the
natural surroundings, Scandinave Spa’s
eco-friendly design, with its vegetated
green roofs and a passive solar heating
system, complements its beautiful
location, all making it a day you will
never forget!SCANDINAVE SPA WHISTLER

the pores, stimulate blood circulation
and release toxins. I swam and moved
around in the hot water pool and stood
under the thermal waterfalls while
taking in the green mountain oasis and
hearing nothing but the sound of the
water gushing over my head.
The next step is to cool the body
quickly in the Nordic waterfalls to close
the pores and strengthen the immune
system. It took me a momentary lapse
of breath as I transitioned from the hot
to the cold water pool and the Nordic
falls. This is a bit more adventurous,
but it only accentuated the experience
that was up ahead. I made a quick dash
for the warm, temperature controlled
solarium and lay in the cosy warmth
and silence on the wooden panels.34 asiaSpa India March-April 2016
