Scandinave Spa Whistler is open year-round, rain, snow, or shine. Our installations are designed to be enjoyed in all kinds of weather.
In the event of lightning during a thunderstorm, the outdoor pools may close temporarily for safety reasons, while indoor installations will still be available for guests to enjoy.

Since we have no control over changing weather conditions, we will not offer refunds or compensation for inconvenience due to inclement weather.

There is no time limit for your visit, but guests do not have in-and-out privileges .

Time permitting, thermal therapy before or after your massage will be beneficial. Starting your spa journey with thermal therapy helps begin the relaxation process and sets you up to get even more from your massage. Using the thermal installations after your massage will optimize its benefits and promote deeper relaxation.

Thermal therapy may present risks for people suffering from angina, heart or respiratory problems, diabetes, hyper- or hypotension, especially when the conditions are viewed as serious and/or uncontrolled. Always consult your doctor for personalized medical advice. It is possible that a note from your health care provider will be required for massage therapy.

In the case of massage therapy, it is possible that a note from your health care provider will be required. Prior to receiving any type of massage, we ask all guests to complete and sign a health questionnaire as a means of certifying that you have declared any health conditions.

Our prenatal massage is perfectly adapted to the special needs of pregnancy, as it may help relieve tension, soothe heavy legs, and improve sleep.

Some of our Registered Massage Therapists have been trained to give prenatal massages. When booking your appointment, please indicate how many weeks pregnant you are.

Thermal therapy is not recommended during pregnancy, as sudden temperature changes can lead to complications. Please consult your doctor.

The bistro is open daily. We offer snacks and beverages, including sandwiches, wraps and salads, desserts, espresso-based drinks and cold beverages. We also offer gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options.

All food must be eaten in the designated dining area. Please note that outside food is not permitted and there are no in-and-out privileges: please plan your day accordingly.

Our therapists are professionals and work with the utmost respect for each individual. For privacy reasons, a sheet covers the guest at all times and only the area being massaged is uncovered. For optimal relaxation, we recommend no clothing, but the decision is yours to make.

To capture your experience, photos may be taken before or after your thermal journey. It’s a great way to record how you felt when you arrived and your overall feeling of wellness after your immersive experience!

The comfort and privacy of all our guests is important to us. No cameras or cellphones will be tolerated on-site during opening hours.

No. Thermal therapy exacerbates the effects of alcohol and drugs. For health and safety reasons, therefore, it is advisable to abstain or to drink responsibly.

Onsite parking is limited. We strongly encourage alternative modes of transportation such as carpooling, hotel shuttle or taxi.
