Nestled into the Ocean level of the Wickaninnish Inn, Ancient Cedars Spa is Tofino’s premiere oasis of relaxation and well-being. The experience is enhanced with views integrating our idyllic natural surroundings into the healing treatments and exceptional care offered for body and mind. A range of high-quality, naturally-inspired products is utilized, including Vancouver Island’s own certified organic Seaflora Skincare. Side-by-side treatments are a veritable treat in two oceanfront spaces, while intimate groups/bridal parties can enjoy spa time together. We recommend starting a beautiful Tofino day with semi-private yoga instruction for optimal restorative balance, offered daily in the welcoming Rainforest Haven room. Enter with peace, and leave with tranquillity at Ancient Cedars Spa.
