SP-AHHH

For the mom who deserves some pampering, Vida Spa at Fairmont Chateau Whistler provides a sanctuary of relaxation. From rejuvenating massages to holistic Ayurvedic treatments, every detail is designed to soothe and revitalize. Afterward, unwind in the Health Club’s hot tubs, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains. To take their experience to the next level you can surprise them with a cabana rental to enjoy their own poolside palace.

ADVENTURE AWAITS

If your mom thrives on adventure, Whistler has plenty to offer. Embark on a guided hike with Whistler Experience Guides, exploring the breathtaking alpine trails. For a unique experience, try zip-lining through the forest canopy or enjoy a scenic gondola ride for panoramic mountain views

Bonus points if you have a piping hot Portobello coffee ready for them pre adventure!

YOGA CLASS

Slowing down and embracing stillness can sometimes be surprisingly challenging. The instructors of our in house yoga classes are experts at facilitating relaxation for both body and mind. You can sign your mom up for one of our complimentary guided classes or book a time with our Lululemon Mirrors so they can move at their own pace.

GOOD AS GOLD

Is there anything better than waking up in a plush hotel bed? Treat your mom to a getaway with us, and the only thing they’ll have to worry about in the morning is what to order for breakfast in bed. To take their stay to another level (literally), we recommend staying on Fairmont Gold. As a boutique hotel within our hotel it offers another level of service and amenities to make mom feel completely pampered.

LOCAL TIP

By staying in a connecting room suite, you can strike the perfect balance of quality time together and creating time and space for them to be blissfully alone. To make it even suite-er our Suite Experiences offer includes a range of amenities to make her feel extra special.

HELI  YEAH!

Sometimes the best way to get away from it all is to literally get away from it all. Offering breathtaking views and unique experiences like glacier top picnics or exploring an ancient ice cave, a helicopter tour it’s a gift that just might make you the favourite child.
