Wellness to Whistler

Sometimes one needs to go on a getaway to get away from old routines. If
it’s time to shake up your makeup, consider a wellness weekend at
Whistler Creek’s Nita
Lake Lodge.

The brand new Ashram
Spa specializes in traditional Indian Ayurvedic treatments, such as
the "Udvartana" detoxification massage that had us feeling like a human
chapati. A paste made from chickpea flour, barley flour and milk was the
basis for the gentle exfoliation, and upward massage strokes sent blood
flowing toward the heart so that internal organs are better able to
excrete built up toxins.

A rainforest steam room and yoga studio complete the spa experience,
while vegan meal options and an in-house Ayurvedic doctor take it to the
next level.
