The contemporary Spa at Four Seasons Resort Whistler offers a full menu of massages and body treatments designed to sooth and restore sore muscles after a day on the slopes. Chilly feet are wrapped in warm towels while muscles are warmed with hot stones during the après-ski massage. The men’s fitness facial restores wind- and sun-burned skin while the British Columbia glacial clay wrap is a great way to warm up at the end of the day. Those who can’t pry themselves from the comfort of their rooms can order up an in-room massage.
Our Inspector's Highlights
- The location’s picturesque landscape is reflected in the luxe treatment facilities and natural and local products used in facials, body wraps and massages.
- The tranquil spa setting is both private and welcoming; guests are made to feel as though the real world is miles away.
- Natural products derived from the areas in an around Whistler are used whenever possible, like glacial clay and sea salts, both sourced in British Columbia.
- The accommodating spa provides sundries for post-treatment touch-ups — including blow dryers (with a detachable diffuser for curly locks), razors, feminine hygiene products, mouthwash, deodorant, plastic bags for wet swimsuits and body creams — which make it easy to prep for a dinner date, client meeting or a day exploring Whistler.

Things to Know
- Booking a treatment by phone is the most efficient way to make an appointment at Four Seasons' glacial sanctuary.

- Some treatments can be serviced in-room for resort guests seeking immense privacy.
The Treatments
- Any service at this spa retreat is luxurious, but the Legacy Treatment (created in honor of the 2010 Winter Games) is a massage junkie’s dream that includes a muscle-melting combination: peppermint foot massage, aromatherapy body massage, warming stone massage and scalp massage.
- The Sea-to-Sky Massage (named for the scenic highway that connects Vancouver and Whistler) is a signature treatment that uses Canadian products sourced from the West Coast, and combines Hawaiian-style lomi lomi strokes with soothing warm oil.
- If a cold day on the mountain has got you yearning for warmth, the unique Cinnamon and Paprika Warming Massage boosts circulation and the immune system by utilizing warm stones to soothe the back, neck and shoulders.
- Facials are specifically tailored to your skin type, a real treat for a stressed outer coat. Choose from five varieties: anti-aging, hydrating, skin defense, purifying and calming.
- Consider an outstanding British Columbia Glacial Clay treatment, which starts with an exfoliating scrub, followed by rinse off under the rain-bar shower. Then, a heated clay and fresh wild seaweed concoction, indigenous to British Columbia, will be applied, leaving your skin refreshed and replenished.
The Facilities
- Private change rooms, showers (stocked with plush towels, body soap and shampoo) and lockers outfitted with fresh robes and slippers make your time in the locker room almost as luxurious as your time in a treatment room.
- The locker room houses a soothing eucalyptus steam room (to be used before or after a treatment), and when you step out, grab an ice-cold face towel to cool off — or better yet, blast yourself under the glacier shower.
- The Relaxation Room is a tranquil spot where you can unwind with a cup of hot tea, fruit- and cucumber-infused water, fresh fruit and, if the mood strikes you, a gossip magazine.
- Bring your bathing suit for a dip in the luxury Whistler spa's outdoor whirlpool, which is open year-round and a true Canadian experience in the winter months, as there’s nothing quite like jumping into a steaming whirlpool surrounded by snow.
