Despite being a rough summer, we have had lots to celebrate! I wanted to do something special to acknowledge our 10 year wedding anniversary, as well as celebrate my husbands 40th birthday, so we packed up and headed to Tigh-Na-Mara Spa Resort on Vancouver Island. I wanted to have a whole weekend purely dedicated to amazing food, uninterrupted conversation in a stunning atmosphere – I also wanted to do something that allowed us to actually relax and be pampered.
We stayed in a gorgeous top-floor, Oceanview Deluxe Studio Suite overlooking the mountains & the Straight of Georgia. Complete with full kitchen, full bathroom, jetted-tub, living room area, gas fireplace and private balcony. The view from our room was absolutely stunning. On the drive there, we stopped in Coombs to check out the Old Country Market and pick up some ingredients for dinner. We finished our first day with cheese & wine on the beach.
The next day we were booked at The Grotto Spa. On the itinerary: 2-hours at the Grotto, Copper Tubs & Couples Massages. We spent the morning swimming in the mineral pools & cycling through hot & cold pools inside the Grotto. The outdoor space was newly renovated, it’s gorgeous and entirely west coast. We ordered lunch from Treetop Tapas (amazing !!) and went in the cedar barrel saunas & cold showers while we waited.
