Where to Relax in Vancouver for Every Wellness Seeker

Looking for a serene escape from the city without leaving? Here are six spots to get in a little me-time—no matter how you like to relax or want to feel restored.

For a Quiet, Self-Guided Thermal Circuit: Circle Wellness Spa

For a secluded space to immerse yourself in calmness, look to Circle Wellness. This thermal spa tucked away on Granville Island offers a quiet escape that will make you question whether you’re still in the city. The completely private (clothing optional) spa follows a self-directed, and gently guided with audio prompts, hot/cold circuit: shower, soak in the cedar tub, rest in the heated wellness pod, cold plunge, ending with lying on the heated stones. Available in 120- or 90-minute sessions (with a partner or alone), I recommend an early morning booking to embrace a slow, grounding start to the day.

Opened in November 2000, Miraj Hammam brings the Middle Eastern hammam tradition to Vancouver. Enter into the steam-filled room (the hammam), then get an exfoliating scrub from a spa attendant (a gommage) with black Moroccan soap while lying on the Jerusalem gold marble. You can also choose a facial or massage to complement the service. End the experience with soothing tea and a treat in the Sultana Lounge.

The new Spa Soleá in the heart of downtown Vancouver offers an escape to slow down, ease the tension and re-energize. Here, you can indulge in both signature relaxation services and spa amenities. From restorative massage therapy and body rituals to facials and hair and nail services, Spa Soleá offers a range of treatments. Or, go at your own pace with a two-hour spa experience with the infrared saunas, eucalyptus steam room, lounges, touchless therapies (an additional booking) and herbal tea at leisure. Whether it’s a maternity massage, a sculpt and lift facial, active recovery RMT or a sauna session, there’s a little bit of every type of wellness to enjoy.

For Reconnection and Breathwork: Tevah Wellness

Tevah Wellness is ideal for those seeking connection through their wellness practice. Opened in December 2025, Tevah Wellness offers both free flow sessions (with the option of silent sessions) and guided circuits led by a coach. The three guided classes (Arise & Shine, Restore & Renew and Relax & Rest) integrate sauna, cold plunging and breathwork to get the most out of the thermal flow. Or, rotate at your own pace between the spacious 725 square-foot red cedar sauna (the largest in North America), rainfall showers and three old plunge pools. If you’re not a cold plunge pro, a guide leading you through breathing techniques (and encouragement) helps make two minutes submerged in 12° Celsius water (the warmest of the cold pools) feel just a little bit shorter.
