Our room was simply beautiful & cosy. The décor was rustic Balinese & our sliding door opened up to the garden & nearby pool. There was no internet or television as the point was to reconnect with ourselves, partner, surroundings & nature. An electric mosquito repellent was also thoughtfully provided amongst a wicker bag, torchlight & umbrella for our use. Unfortunately, there was no hand bidet in the bathroom which was quite upsetting. We had freshened-up & was ready for our complimentary 50-minute body massage. We were told to change into the fisherman's pants & top which were in the wardrobe & head-over to the Spa treatment room. It was only 5 minutes from our room by foot. Upon arrival, we were treated to some frozen grapes & watermelon on a skewer taken out from a fridge. Soon after, our tired bodies were being kneaded & pampered by the talented masseuse. We were given a choice of premium essential oils to use & the freedom to choose either soft, medium or hard massage strokes. I started off with hard & gradually changed to medium as the masseuse's deft fingers were strong & she had a lot of strength in her.
So be it. " And I step out of the Cedar Sanctuary feeling more still and lighter than ever. What You Should Know: – The 1. 5-hour, semi-private yoga session (offered daily) is $28. – Every spa treatment includes a hot foot soak (either next to the indoor fireplace or outside overlooking the ocean) and access to the Steam Cave. – The 1. 5-hour Indigenous Hot Stone Massage is $180. – For a more comprehensive west coast experience that includes an Indigenous Hot Stone Massage, as well as a salt and seaweed scrub, consider the Hishuk Ish Tsawalk Awakening Treatment. – Oddly, none of the massages are offered by RMTs — but you can still expect the highest standards of service from experienced professionals. This is, after all, a world-class spa. While I received a discount for my stay at The Wickaninnish Inn, I paid the full price for my yoga session and treatment at the Ancient Cedars Spa. Was it my biggest spa splurge ever? Yes. Was it worth every penny? Yes, yes, yes. Pin this to Pinterest
