If you're looking for a peaceful interlude in your vacation that includes some serious pampering, then head for a spa. There are many different kinds in British Columbia. While most offer traditional spa treatments, many have their own unique, West Coast touch, such as purifying algae, rare muds and even "vinotherapy" massage in the wine region of the Thompson Okanagan. No matter the treatment, all are designed to revitalize the body and spirit.
