Best Spas in Delta

"The moment you step through the double doors and enter the stately, yet intimate, wood-and-wainscoting lobby, it’s clear that the Wedgewood was conceived of as a European-style small hotel. Lit by an elaborate chandelier, the reception area is understated and elegant. From the formally dressed doorman outside, to the always-incredible flower arrangements that provide a focal point in the Bacchus Lounge, the Wedgewood evokes an air of civility and attention to detail that we’ve come to expect from Relais & Chateaux-affiliated hotels."

"A Family-Run ClassicThe Wedgewood likes to call itself a family-run hotel, and for good reason. When Greek citizen Eleni Skalbania – born on the volcanic island of Santorini and raised in Athens – immigrated to Canada in her late teens, she quickly proved herself a natural in the hospitality industry. She managed a couple of hotels before completely gutting and renovating a former apartment building into the luxurious Wedgewood Hotel and Spa in 1984."

"A bit of a Vancouver institution, the Wedgewood is one of Vancouver’s best hotels, offering old-world service and style for your stay. Beautiful rooms and common space, with a top-rated restaurant on-site (Bacchus). Regardless whether or not you stay here, try to stop by Bacchus at least once during your stay in Vancouver, even if it’s just for a glass of wine or cocktail."

"Experience the epitome of luxury at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. Just a short walk from the Robson Street Shopping District, the hotel has everything that you need for a wonderful stay. Treat yourself to a stay at the Lord Stanely Suite with sleek furnishings and utmost comfort."

"Art Deco luxury soaked in a glamorous history with some of Canada’s finest dining and cocktails. From its grand marble staircases to extensive all-Canadian art collection there’s a satisfying sense of luxury at every turn."

"Situated in the heart of Vancouver, Rosewood Hotel Georgia is close to everything you will likely need. This property has a full-service spa, a health club, an indoor pool and a fitness facility."

"For the guy in need of a little self-care, Absolute Spa is the place to go as they feature an entire separate men’s menu. There are also treatments catering specifically to couples, moms and teens as well, making it a great spot to enjoy yourself, or to treat a loved one. From facials and microdermabrasion, to massage and body treatments, manicures and pedicures, wax and water spa therapies, you’re sure to be in bliss."

"Absolute Spa feature luxurious therapies, a co-ed relaxation lounge and complimentary spa cuisine for both men and women. Absolute Spa is located in the iconic and conveniently located, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. The decor is stainless steel mixed with leather, with a brand new 3000 square foot expansion with a co-ed relaxation lounge and cuisine."

"If you’re craving a bit of pampering, but are trying to watch your budget, the John Casablancas School can be an ideal option. Because this is a school and students are performing the services, prices are much more affordable, and the spa options include a variety of facial services, manicures, pedicures and massage. Where: Suite #150 – 220 Cambie St."

"A great spot if you’re wanting a little pampering but not wanting to pay the price. The John Casablancas Institute in Gastown has been training up some of the city’s best stylists, estheticians and masseuses since 1978. The treatments are completed by students and the spa is a little less zen but the price gives you peace of mind."

"This Kitsilano spa has swept up a variety of awards over the years for its skin-specialized treatments. Try one of their body scrub and showers or a massage for full-on relaxation, or opt for a facial or microdermabrasion to freshen up your face. You can also get a spray tan or sunless tan here for a little bronze glow during greyer months."

"Although I realize that this hotel is a controversial property given that it’s managed by the family of the Donald Trump – president of the United (or divided?) States of America – there’s no denying that it fits this list. Trump International Hotel & Tower Vancouver is one of the city’s premier luxury hotels and is located in the heart of the Golden Mile, close to couture shopping, restaurants, entertainment and the buzzing financial center. The hotel is housed in Vancouver’s second tallest skyscraper, that stands at 616 ft (188 m) and 69 stories."

"You’ll feel incredibly pampered during your stay at the Trump International Hotel & Tower Vancouver. You’re right in the heart of the Golden Mile and just a stone throws away from plenty of shopping, fine dining and entertainment. While every room at the hotel comes with a gorgeous view, each room is uniquely designed."

"This unique spa transports you to a Middle Eastern-inspired setting and boasts a Hammam and Gommage paired experience. Beginning with a cleansing steam treatment, you then relax in an exfoliation session featuring black Moroccan soap to refresh the skin. You can then follow up the treatment with a massage, facial or body masque."

"This gem, tucked behind the PNE/Playland grounds offers plenty to do even as the roller coasters within view remain silent. It’s got four beach volleyball courts, a soccer field with a surrounding track, ping pong tables, a parkour course, a bike skills area, an accessible playground, perimeter biking and walking paths and a skateboard hangout. Something for everyone."

"Perverted Ice Cream is making ice cream fun again, for adults. With provocative branding and flavour names like Brand Spanking, Beg For S’More and Chi Chi Le Roux, you’re sure to finish with a giant smile of satisfaction (from the ice cream). Our Pick | Saturday Night (chocolate/vanilla twist, hard chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, whipped cream, cherry)"

"A post shared by 3 VANCITY FOODIES 🇨🇦 (@604.eats) on May 13, 2020 at 9:24pm PDT. Perverted serves ice cream with a twist, and you won’t be disappointed by its flavours. It’s a must-try in the city if you’re looking for a sweet treat downtown."

"These guys get the nod for having the craziest name on this list, hands down. Why associate ice cream with sexual deviance?. Beats us, but at least it’s fun for a laugh now and again."

"Built in on a former quarry 500 feet above sea level, the 130-acre Queen Elizabeth Park is the highest vantage point in Vancouver, with extraordinary views that extend to the North Shore Mountains and beyond. But there’s more to Queen E, as locals call it, than just the vistas. With manicured lawns and impeccably groomed flowering plant beds, the gardens are the main draw."

"Queen Elizabeth Park is Vancouver’s highest point, clocking in at 410ft (125m) above sea level. Thanks to its central location, the park has some of the best views of the city’s impressive skyline, with a stunning backdrop of the North Vancouver mountains. The park is a popular picnic spot, with plenty of green space to relax with family or friends."

"This 53ha (130-acre) park in suburban Vancouver offers fabulous views of the city and its surrounding mountains. It’s perfect to visit in every season, thanks to the ever-changing vista. People can wander the grounds outside, or head inside to Bloedel Conservatory and its indoor tropical garden."

"Best egg and salmon croissants plate for breakfast in vancouver:) you have to try it. Price is great and big portion plus great service!!"

"You’ll also be impressed with the rustic and charming setting at Sula Indian Restaurant (1128 Commercial Drive and 4172 Main Street) featuring antique furniture, pops of vibrant colour, and a Indian mural art. The menu at Sula is extensive but you’ll want to order fragrant seafood curries  as well as Mumbai street snacks. Sula also has a cocktail program with traditional Indian spices like tamarind, star anise, and amla."

"This traditional Indian restaurant has plenty of great takeout options for you to choose from. We go all-vegetarian when we visit Sula, preferring to sample the veggie dishes like Dal Makhani, Channa Masala, and Gobi Aloo. There are also plenty of vegan and gluten-free options should you have any dietary restrictions."

"Truly traditional Indian restaurant in Vancouver, serving exotic Indian food from different regions of south and North India prepared using aromatic spices ground in house combined with fresh herbs, served in a playful Indian inspired indoor garden"

"Here’s a Chinatown treasure, perhaps the most culturally rich of all parks overseen by the Vancouver Parks Board. (Admission to the adjoining Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Garden costs about $15, depending on the season.) With willows, bamboo, craggy rocks, pagodas and a pond dotted with lily pads and filled with koi, this photo-ready site is will make you feel a world away. Both the free and paid portions of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Gardens are currently closed but will reopen July 3"

"It’s a spot rich in history as it’s the first Chinese garden built outside of China. It’s also National Geographic’s “Top City Garden in the World”. This an extremely celestial outdoor space, providing quiet respite from the bustling city and offering dozens of opportunities to photograph 150-year old miniature trees, a jade green pond, and famous koi fish."

"You can also visit some of the firm-favourites such as; Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden and the Millennium Gate."

"Get down on one knee surrounded by the beautiful blossoming flowers in the VanDusen Botanical Garden. This is the perfect option for a nature lover as the garden covers an impressive 55 acres of land and is outfitted with flowers from all over the world. If you’d prefer an indoor venue, the Bloedel Conservatory (4600 Cambie Street) is just a hop, skip and a jump away and is equally gorgeous."
