Whistler, Accommodation

I opted to stay at
Nita Lake Lodge during a recent trip to Whistler. The Lodge is located near Whistler's Creekside area which is about 5 minutes from Whistler Village. The rooms were large and very welcoming - super comfortable beds and a very very large bathroom, complete with soaker tub! I had a view of the lake and enjoyed coffee in the morning on my deck. They have 3 food options in the lodge - The Fix (for coffee and insanely good granola etc.); The Cure (for cocktails and light snacks) and Aura for finer dining. We had a great lunch on the patio overlooking the lake so for dinner we opted to go to the nearby Rim Rock Cafe. To our great delight, the Lodge has a complementary shuttle so we didn't have to drive! Unforgettable meal followed by a great night's sleep. I will be back and when I return, I will also have to enjoy their spa, set to open Summer 2010.

Whistler, Spas & Wellness

While in Whistler the other day I had the great fortune to visit the newly opened (January 2010) Scandinave Spa, located just a few minutes north of Whistler Village. It happened to be a gorgeous day, but I don't think it would matter what the weather was - you would still love this unique experience of going from the eucalyptus steam room to a series of outdoor hot tubs, cold plunge pools, a large sauna, and a handful of solariums where you sit to relax. And relax you will as the house rule is "Silence"....no Blackberrys, no cell phones and no chatter. Just solitude and fantastic forest surroundings. I think it will be very cool (literally) in the winter when there is snow everywhere....except on the heated paths between the pools. How neat is that?! Anyhow, its a not to be missed Whistler experience in my...relaxed and slightly jello-y legged opinion! Next time I am opting to book a massage too.
