Vancouver’s outdoor spa culture and infrared heaters

The culture of British Columbia is so inclined toward nature that many of the coastal spa resorts are located outdoors, which offers clients a spectacular view of Vancouver’s breathtaking scenery. Many of these resorts are deep in the woods, harnessing the natural power of hot springs instead of indoor saunas. Between dips in the mineral-rich hot springs, clients don’t want to be shivering due to the chilling effect of the Pacific air. Portable infrared heaters blend with the environment in desolate locations, keeping people warm while conserving energy.

The Ancient Cedars Spa of the posh Wickaninnish Inn provides clients with private huts next to the thrashing surf of the Pacific, allowing them to receive massages in a relaxed outdoor setting. Taking in the west coast culture north of the border, many of Hollywood’s A-list stars embark on adventures at these outdoor resorts. This location captures the essence of camping life, providing salmon fishing, hiking, kayaking, animal sightings and a healing grounds spa.

Infrared heaters, which cost less than 14 cents per hour, are much more effective and energy efficient than propane heaters – especially without tanks that have to be replaced every 12 to 16 hours.
