A full range of body therapy, Thalassotherapy, skin care, esthetics and more is offered in seven welcoming spaces where our international staff will customize each treatment based on your individual references. Inspired by traditional First Nations cleansing techniques the Hishuk Ish Tsawalk Awakening Treatment is highly recommended as are the variety of side by side options, we also welcome intimate groups and bridal parties. The Ancient Cedars Spa experience is enhanced with an oceanfront patio, comfortable men’s and ladies lounges with showers, a Bouvier Hydrotherapy Tub and a eucalyptus steam room, available on its own, or as a finishing touch to a treatment. We utilize a range of high quality, naturally-inspired products including Vancouver Island’s own certified organic Seaflora Skincare and the results oriented Comfort Zone face and body products line from Parma Italy. We recommend starting a beautiful Tofino day with semi-private yoga instruction for optimal restorative balance, offered daily in the welcoming Rainforest Haven room.

If you've been considering whether the cost for the treatments at Ancient Cedars Spa are worth it (they're pricey), they are. The day after Christmas 2012, my husband and I treated ourselves to a side-by-side massage and it was one of the most amazing experiences. My husband is not a massage guy, and was skeptical about the treatment, but now... More

The Ancient Cedars Spa is an absolute perfect indulgence. Show up at least 1/2 hour early and sit in the amazing steam room and start to unwind. My massuese Amanda was great she was strong and intuitive when it was a little tender. After a great massage in the "room by the sea" I returned to the steam room with... More

Don't try to just "grab a massage" here! Plan time to enjoy the foot soak, the rest under the trees. Try a new treatment. The Lomi Lomi was a unique experience. We had a couples massage and paid a bit extra to have the privacy of the beach cabin experience. Wonderful! Relaxing to the max. It truly matches it's rating... More

I have been coming to this spa for over 10 years and I relish the moments that I'm there. The level of attention to detail is unmet by other spas I've frequented. Every therapist is deeply connected to YOU and is concerned with your delight, healing, and calm. There is an aura about this place that is truly unmatched. I've... More

it was a small spa but the steam room was great..the spa was comfortable and setting perfect. My massage was good. I had never had a Hot Rock Massage so I cannot compare it .But I was not disappointed.

While quite pricey, the hot stone massage is pure bliss. The treatment left me feeling much more relaxed and was balm for my tired, aching muscles. Isabelle was an excellent theapist, giving me many tips for better health. The whole experience is well worth the money. Having experienced massage therapy in many parts of the world, I have never had... More

Wonderful spa experience, tasteful changing and shower area, excellent steam room, nice foot soak before treatments. My husband and I had side by side couples massage and both therapists were outstanding. Very peaceful spa interior, everything smells of cedar. Two eagles sat in a tree outside our treatment area. Overlooks the beachfront at the Wick. Book early. A little spendy... More

My husband and I stayed at the Wick Inn and on our last day we treated ourself to a treatment each. It isnt cheap but it is worth the money. You do have to book months ahead.

Ever since my first hot stone massage in the Cedar Santuary I've been ruined for all future visits to different spas. The practitioners take you to a state beyond relaxation while listening to real ocean sounds right outside. You leave feeling like a million bucks. It's a bit pricey but an extensive experience that is worth every single penny!
