Your summer schedule has been jam-packed with destination getaways, long weekend road trips, picnics in the park with friends and barbeques at home with family. By the time September hits, you’ll probably be in need of a vacation from your vacation. 

Sure, you could recharge by heading over to your favourite spa in Vancouver, but wouldn’t it be nice to go on one last travel adventure before summertime comes to an official end? Lucky for you, the ultimate spa weekend getaway is well within reach on Vancouver Island. 

Perfectly perched on the edge of the Salish Sea, Victoria’s Oak Bay Beach Hotel is the place to rejuvenate the body, mind and soul. Housed in an English-style manor property, the boutique hotel offers an abundance of wellness amenities, such as breathtaking oceanside mineral pools, award-winning services at The Boathouse Spa and three acclaimed on-site restaurants, for all guests. 

So, gather up your crew (or go solo) and embark on one relaxing last hurrah to summer.

The crown jewels of Oak Bay Beach Hotel’s wellness offerings are the three outdoor heated mineral pools, which are situated on the edge of the Salish Sea for unbeatable ocean views. Accessible year-round from approximately 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., you can go for a relaxing swim or a soothing soak at any point of the day from sunrise to sunset. For the full resort lifestyle experience, guests can enjoy crafted beverages and light snacks from the Boathouse Kitchen + Bar to enjoy on Victoria’s only licensed pool deck, as well as spend time in the eucalyptus-infused sauna. 

Another oceanfront wellness experience that can’t be missed are the spa services provided by The Boathouse Spa. A wide range of holistic treatments and therapies, offered in their opulent West Coast-inspired rooms, are designed to indulge all of the physical and spiritual senses. Take your pick from their full menu of services, including facials, body treatments and massages (including RMT) and see for yourself why The Boathouse Spa holds the distinction of ranking among the Top 25 Spas in Canada and the Top 100 Spas in North America.

After a full day of pampering yourself by the pool and at the spa, you should also treat your tastebuds to the appetizing dining experiences served at Oak Bay Beach Hotel.

Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, guests can enjoy an intimate, ocean-view dinner service at the Dining Room. Showcasing the best of the Pacific Northwest, the refined and approachable multi-course menu is inspired by locally-sourced seasonal ingredients, and is complemented by pairings of B.C. and international wines from their award-winning wine list.

If you’re in the mood for Italian fare, FARO specializes in handcrafted, Neapolitan-style pizza, along with a variety of fresh salads, creative cocktails and local wines that changes with the seasons. You can dine out on the outdoor terrace overlooking the courtyard, or dine in their modern tasting room.

A Victoria institution dating back to 1954, The Snug Pub will make you feel right at home from the second you walk in. The city’s first neighbourhood pub pays homage to good food, good spirits and good company. The sweeping views from their oceanfront patio will elevate your weekday happy hour or weekend brunch experience even more.
