PAID CONTENT FOR TIGH-NA-MARA SEASIDE SPA RESORT & CONFERENCE CENTRE


Tigh-Na-Mara Spa Resort & Conference Centre PARKSVILLE, CANADA


Built onto the bluff above the Salish Sea, bordering the majestic Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park and surrounded by the towering trees of the rainforest, Tigh-Na-Mara Resort spans 22 acres and boasts 1.86 miles of sandy beach. It’s located in Parksville on central Vancouver Island, and guests are immersed in the natural surroundings, promoting reconnection to self, others and nature. Tigh-Na-Mara started as a single cabin in the


woods in 1946. Its name is Gaelic for ‘house by the sea’, and it has evolved into one of the premier all-season destination resorts on Vancouver Island. Today it includes 192 handcrafted log guest rooms, including more than 80 Oceanview rooms, the award-winning Grotto Spa, Cedars Restaurant and Lounge, Pines Gift Shop, fitness facilities, an indoor pool, 12 meeting rooms, an extensive recreation programme and 10,000sq ft of flexible event space. Known as a family resort, couples’ getaway, corporate retreat, wedding destination or spa goers’ fantasy, it’s the perfect place to create lifelong memories.


Guests wander the walkways, forest bathing in


Douglas fir, cedar and arbutus trees. A dedicated rooftop area is waiting for self-guided yoga practice, a mindful game of giant chess or a quiet space to lounge. A stroll to the beach allows one to walk for miles and explore the tide pools, paddle board or swim in the warmest ocean swimming waters in Canada. Parksville also offers fantastic golf, hiking, caving, cycling, kayaking, skiing and shopping, plus whale watching nearby. A leisurely stroll leads to the Grotto Spa. In the


spa’s 20,000sq ft, guests begin by taking a soak in the Grotto Mineral Pool with its invigorating cool-splash waterfall and relaxing whirlpool. Emulating a natural stone grotto, the warm water pool is infused with natural minerals and trace elements to detoxify the body and rejuvenate the spirit. Wind down in the Relaxation Lounge with healthy refreshments, before being guided into a series of custom spa treatments. Then, discover the only experience of its kind in Canada: dine on endless tapas while wearing a spa robe and sandals at the Treetop Tapas & Grill.
