Vida Spa Fairmont Chateau Whistler
Located in the Fairmont Chateau, the Vida Spa makes you feel like royalty. Whether you start your spa experience with a workout or an invigorating soak in the outdoor whirlpool, you’ll leave feeling restored.

The outdoor heated lap pool plays underwater music to help you harmonize while you work out. Fitness programs guided by professional trainers will keep you in peak shape.

Many of the spa’s treatments are based on Ayurveda, an ancient practice of Indian medicine. The treatments help improve the body from the inside out, balancing your body and mind so that you can achieve optimal health.

Express treatments let you de-stress quickly and return to your vacation. All of the treatments can be performed in the couple’s room so partners can achieve perfect balance.

Even though the nature that surrounds Whistler is a serene experience in itself, visitors spending long days outside may long to soothe their sore muscles when they return to their accommodations at the end of the day.

The spas in the area take advantage of the scenic beauty; rooftop whirlpools and spas overlooking the ski slopes are not uncommon. After a long day of play and an evening of restful restoration, you’ll return to your hotel room  or condo rested and rejuvenated to wake up refreshed the next day.
