Perched atop a majestic hill overlooking Lake Okanagan's pristine waters, the Sparkling Hills Resort & Spa is Vernon, Canada's gem. With its remarkable architecture and the millions of Swarovski crystals embedded throughout, the resort is nothing short of dazzling. Yet, the heart of this resort lies in its world-renowned wellness facility: the KurSpa.
Drawing inspiration from traditional European spa treatments, the KurSpa melds age-old wellness practices with modern innovations against the backdrop of Canada's stunning natural beauty. The word 'Kur' in German signifies a practice of holistic wellness, and true to its name, KurSpa offers treatments that aim for complete mental, physical, and spiritual rejuvenation.
Spanning over 40,000 square feet, KurSpa is among North America's largest spas. It boasts seven uniquely themed aromatherapy steam rooms and saunas, several indoor and outdoor pools, including the much-talked-about saltwater pool with underwater music, and various relaxation rooms. The panoramic views of the Monashee Mountains and Lake Okanagan from the spa are therapeutic in themselves.
One of KurSpa's standout offerings is its Cryo Cold Chamber, the first of its kind in North America. This treatment exposes guests to temperatures as chilling as -110°C for a few minutes, a process believed to reduce inflammation, boost mood, and rejuvenate the skin.
Beyond its unique treatments, what sets KurSpa apart is its commitment to personalized wellness. After a thorough consultation, guests are provided with tailor-made treatment plans, ranging from stress-relief massages and detoxifying mud wraps to holistic Ayurvedic therapies.
Many of KurSpa's treatments, like the mud wraps and organic facials, use natural ingredients sourced from the Okanagan Valley. This local touch not only assures freshness and authenticity but also pays homage to the bounties of Vernon's environment.
Wellness at KurSpa isn't limited to the body. The spa places equal emphasis on mental and spiritual well-being. Guests can partake in meditation sessions, guided hikes, or even consult with naturopaths and holistic health experts to nourish their inner selves.
KurSpa at Sparkling Hills Resort & Spa is not just a destination; it's an experience. A place where European wellness philosophies blend seamlessly with Canadian hospitality and nature's magic. Whether seeking a transformative detox, a simple massage, or a deep spiritual connection, guests are sure to find their path to rejuvenation at KurSpa. Amidst the sparkle of crystals and the serenity of Lake Okanagan, one can truly reconnect with oneself in the most opulent of settings.
