9 Serene Spa Destinations on Vancouver Island

Seeking the max in relaxation? Pamper yourself at these tranquil spa destinations around Vancouver Island, whether it’s a salt treatment in Victoria or a healing cave session in Courtenay.

1. The Parkside Spa (Victoria)

Indulge in a massage, facial, body scrub or pedicure at The Parkside Spa, located in The Parkside Hotel & Spa in downtown Victoria. The Blissful Escape package includes an hour-long massage followed by a 60-minute facial. Book you and your sweetheart in for the 90-minute Couples Island Glow Package, which includes body wraps and facials for both of you. Or try something completely different: floating sound meditation—spend an hour floating on a mat in a warm candlelit pool while a sound healer uses crystal alchemy bowls and gongs to create soothing vibrations.

It’s no surprise that Boathouse Spa landed at #41 on Spas of America’s 2025 list of the top 100 spas in North America. This oceanfront spa at Victoria’s Oak Bay Beach Hotel boasts a truly stunning location, with unparalleled views from the outdoor mineral pool and hot tubs. The cedar sauna has a glass ceiling, so you can watch the clouds drift by during the day or, after dark, settle in for some stargazing. Massages, facials and body treatments are also on the menu. The 120-minute Vancouver Island Tranquility treatment includes a full-body exfoliation, brush massage and anti-aging facial. Some couples treatments can be done in the oceanfront gazebo, depending on the weather.

4. Salt & Ivy Wellness Spa & Retreat (Victoria)

Nestled in Rosemead House, a gorgeous Tudor manor in Victoria’s Esquimalt neighbourhood, Salt & Ivy Wellness Spa & Retreat opened in fall 2025 and immediately drew praise for its innovative medi-spa treatments experienced in a sanctuary-like setting. Microneedling, body wraps, massages, acupuncture and facials are some of the relaxing treatments on offer. The 60-minute Glacial Gloss—the only facial of its type available anywhere on Vancouver Island—is a luxurious cryotherapy treatment that helps to calm inflammation, minimize signs of aging and balance your skin, resulting in a luminous complexion, with no downtime. The 30-minute Wellsystem Wave is a self-guided dry massage table that uses warm water jets under you to massage your entire body. Later this year, a hydrotherapy circuit will be added to the spa.

5. Immersion Spa + Wellness (Campbell River)

Haircuts, manicures, pedicures, waxing, facials, massages and mud wraps are some of the services available at Immersion Spa + Wellness in Campbell River’s Naturally Pacific Resort, which also boasts an 18-hole golf course. The 90-minute Rainforest Ritual includes massages for your body, face and scalp, along with mud masks for your hands and feet. The 45-minute Sound Bath Healing Ritual uses soothing vibrations and frequencies to help calm your mind and relax your body. The spa’s mineral pool is the perfect spot to soothe aching muscles, reduce inflammation and detoxify your skin, thanks to the combination of minerals such as magnesium, sodium and potassium in the water, while the Italian-made experience showers use water, ambient lighting, aromatherapy and immersive soundscapes to stimulate your senses and release tension.

Located at Black Rock Oceanfront Resort in Ucluelet, the seaside spa boasts a truly stunning location.

7. Pacific Mist Spa (Courtenay)

Hot-stone massages, reflexology, reiki and facials are all good reasons to visit Pacific Mist Spa at Kingfisher Pacific Resort & Spa in Courtenay. But most memorable of all are the healing caves. Each of the six caves has a different theme and simulated environment—desert, mystic, ice, astral, salt or storm—complete with giant high-def screens, lush aromas and temperatures ranging from -10 in the ice cave to 82 degrees Celsius in the desert cave. And be sure to make time to follow the Hydropath, a 60-minute self-guided hydrotherapy journey through a simulated West Coast shoreline that features a Swiss shower, mineral massage pool, steam cave, glacial waterfall, river walk and tidal baths.

8. Ancient Cedars Spa (Tofino)

Nestled beside an old-growth forest, Ancient Cedars Spa at the Wickaninnish Inn on Tofino’s rugged coastline is the ideal spot for rest and rejuvenation. The 135-minute Ancient Cedars Tranquillity Ritual includes a body scrub, body massage, facial and scalp massage.
