Press Reset on Self-care With a Tofino Wellness Vacation

With our fast-changing digital world demanding a culture of “better, faster, more,” it’s easy to get overstimulated and overwhelmed. Not surprisingly, we’re leaning into wellness more than ever; prioritizing better sleep, digital detoxing, and self-care to support our mental and physical wellbeing. That same mind/body mindset has also changed the way many of us want to travel. Craving a wellness vacation that feels good, fuels personal growth, and improves your health? Read on for some unique Tofino wellness vacation options to help you press reset on your self-care journey.

Tofino’s wild and rugged, West Coast rainforest setting on Vancouver Island gives new meaning to getting grounded on your wellness retreat. As you breathe in the intoxicating air and feel the Pacific Ocean mist on your face, stress seems to magically melt away. And before you know it, mindful thoughts like “less screen time, more forest bathing” are inspired under a canopy of towering, ancient trees.

While Tofino is a year-round favourite destination for outdoor lovers, there are also plenty of health-centric, indoor wellness getaway experiences to enjoy solo, as a couple or with your adventurous BFFs.

Moon Jelly Bathhouse

Imagine a private floating sanctuary in Clayoquot Sound with two spacious, wood-fired hot tubs filled with saltwater and nourishing seaweed where you can soak, plunge, swim, rinse, and snooze in a hammock suspended over open water. That immersive, wellness experience awaits at Moon Jelly Bathhouse; a 6-hour, self-led day spa including a 15-minute boat ride from Tofino Harbour.

From a covered gazebo lounge and fleece-lined robes to bathroom/shower/kitchen facilities, a stand-up paddle board and more mindful touches, prepare for a very chillax, transformational day.

Tuff City Saunas

Enjoy a Nordic wellness getaway with a west coast twist, right here at Pacific Sands. From winter storm watching to summer wave-gazing, Tuff City Saunas‘ two onsite, wood-fired barrel-saunas offer an all-season, healthy, and refreshing way to immerse yourself in natural heat and the rustic “cryotherapy” of the Pacific Ocean.

Experience the 9,000 year-old Finnish system of hot, cold, rest, repeat—three, 15-minute intervals, repeated three times. Start by splashing water over hot rocks to create steam and gentle, intense heat therapy. Then wade out into the waves of Cox Bay, feeling the sand under your feet and kelp on your skin. Next, rest, hydrate, and breathe in the therapeutic energy of Tofino’s rainforest air. It’s all part of the 2-hour, private barrel-sauna rental experience for up to 6 people, including cold showers and Adirondack lounging chairs.
