SPA center saunas in Vancouver, Canada
Art of Sauna
A multi-room thermal complex on 6th Street in Burnaby where one $52.50 admission opens all eight rooms: a Finnish dry sauna, a traditional sauna, a dry aroma sauna, Roman, aroma and eucalyptus steam rooms, and a Himalayan salt room, with a cool-down zone between rounds. Staff also perform Russian banya parenie and Turkish hammam rituals, and massage and spa treatments are booked separately. Bathing suits are mandatory in the saunas and the venue is 16 and over. Closed Wednesdays.
HÄLSA Spa
A Kitsilano spa on West 4th built around deep rest, combining float therapy, massage and two private infrared saunas, one cedar and one hemlock. A sauna session is $62 for 60 minutes, with an extra 10 to 15 minutes for showers before and after in your own private suite, where a cold shower stands in for the plunge. Guests linger afterwards in a sunlit upstairs mezzanine with tea. Acupuncture, reflexology and facials are also on the menu. Open daily, from 10am most days.
Miraj Hammam Spa
Canada's first hammam, open in Vancouver's Fairview since November 2000 and booked privately for one client at a time. The signature Hammam and Gommage is $135, or $185 with a body rhassoul mud mask, and massage or facial packages run from $235. Every treatment includes a sarong, robe, towel and slippers; the gommage is traditionally performed without clothing, though a swimsuit may be worn.
