Father North in Courtenay, you’ll find west luxurious treatments at the kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa. Cross the Island to indulge in the dramatic setting of the west coast, where spa like Ancient Cedars spa in the Wickaninnish inn incorporates the setting into your experience. Traditional Swedish or shiatsu massages, acupressure and seaweed wraps reawaken the senses and relax the body. Some of the gulf island also has resort spas well worth a visit.
