In 2023, Canadians are prioritizing relaxation, fresh air, and hydrotherapy in their spa experiences. Grotto Spa at Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Resort on Vancouver Island was honored as the top spot by Spas of America’s president, Craig Oliver.
The Top 50 Canada Spas awards highlighted spa and wellness offerings from various provinces across the country. Ontario led the pack with 19 spots, followed by British Columbia and Quebec with nine each. Alberta claimed seven spots, Nova Scotia two, while Manitoba, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, and Saskatchewan each secured one spot.
Grotto Spa’s accolade coincides with a significant $2.5 million renovation that introduces an enhanced experience featuring four cedar barrel saunas in an outdoor garden patio. Known as “The Grotto,” this addition aims to elevate guests’ journeys within the spa setting amidst picturesque landscapes. The outdoor oasis near the mineral pool offers cedar barrel saunas, outdoor showers, and scenic views to create a tranquil sauna garden for guests. Promoting a two-hour communal experience, The Grotto fosters connections in a social setting while providing personalized wellness experiences surrounded by nature’s healing elements.
