Ancient Cedars Spa - Tofino, British Columbia

My husband and I were staying at The Wickaninnish Inn and booked a couples massage at the Ancient Cedars Spa for extra relaxation during our anniversary trip. Let me start by saying WOW what an experience. First we were shown the changing rooms, where they have lockers ready and waiting with your name on it (cool touch)! Then inside the locker, the spa left a cute card for our anniversary, which was another nice personal touch.

As for the massage room, it was the cutest little beach front cabin. I have to say I don’t think any spa will ever outdo this location. It was so dreamy getting the massage and listening to the waves crashing on the rocks and rain falling on the roof. Literally the most picturesque spot.

The massage itself was also amazing. Our massage therapists were Ruby and Bernadette. The massage started off with a foot soak, which had little beads for pressure point on the feet which felt great. The rest of the message was also great. I really enjoyed the leg and foot massage. I left feeling so relaxed and rejuvenated.

The spa also had a cool steam cave, which was nice before (or after) the massage.

I would highly recommend booking a couples massage to see the adorable cottage first hand. It was a wonderful experience.

Ancient cedars spa was relaxing and completely a hidden gem. My friend and I went for side by side massages in the Cedar Sanctuary with Ruvi and Esther and it was the most relaxing experience we could have imagined.
We first got to use the steam room to relax before our service and then were met by the ladies with essential oils to choose from and a lovely foot bath by the fire place with a beautiful view. The robes were like butter and the tranquility blend from comfort zone made us melt into the chairs.
Then we were brought to the cedar sanctuary where the view was phenomenal and the sound of the waves crashing onto the rocks had us wishing we booked longer treatments.
The massage was second to none thank you ladies! And it made our whole trip. Not often do we treat ourselves but we will for sure be doing this again.
Don’t hesitate to book this was well worth it.

I enjoyed every moment of my aromatic massage. From checkin all the way to when I left, I was treated like royalty. Esther my massage therapist was wonderful and all other staff were so kind and thoughtful. The space and setting is beautiful. Thank you!

Wow, what a great experience! My partner and I had a side by side massage by Sherea and Ruvi. It was a welcome treat for both of us after weeks of working, commuting in the heavy Vancouver traffic and a good morning bicicle ride on the Pacific Rim National Park trail.
Thank you Ruvi and Sherea.
Merry Cristmas to both of you. I hope you will both have a great Christmas so far away from your home!

My partner and I went to the Ancient Cedars Spa last night and had the most amazing experience. We go to the steam room every night for chronic pain management and we were not sure how we could maintain our daily ritual on our trip without spending at least 400 on treatments as well. We were overjoyed when we could come use the steam cave for a reasonable price. The facility was amazing, very clean, and had the best tasting water, but what made our experience so amazing was the staff. From our phone call booking to leaving the hotel everyone was exceptionally kind. We aren’t used to people being nice anymore so this was honestly surprising to us. Even though we weren’t having fancy treatments we were still treated the same and with the most respect. Both the hotel and spa staff made our experience so much better! Thank you!

We attempted to book treatments for the Ancient Cedar Spa for June 2024 but were basically told that we would be put on a waitlist so that people staying at the resort could be booked first. I’m trying to plan a trip and basically being told that my money doesn’t matter (unless they don’t have bookings) THEN we would matter leaves me feeling like my business is not wanted. My friends and I like to visit all the resorts to do spa days but we won’t be going here. I also was planning a visit their restaurant and as soon I knew it was related to the Wickaninnish I said hard pass. All money is green and If my money isn’t good enough for the spa, it isn’t good enough for their restaurant either.

During our stay at the Wickaninnish Inn we had the pleasure of visiting the Ancient Cedars Spa (including the steam cave) and taking part in a private yoga session as well as an aromatic massage which were all incredible experiences. On top of that, the staff were very warm, welcoming and helpful....oh and the view wasn't too bad either 😉

It was a once in a lifetime experience and would definitely return and recommend.
