Story

HÄLSA is the Swedish word for HEALTH and HÄLSA Spa is a health spa in the European tradition, where taking time dedicated to deep relaxation is considered both a natural and essential part of a healthy life.

The idea that relaxation is essential to good health is an ancient one. Throughout history and across cultures, people have visited spas seeking respite and restoration, experiencing the natural curative powers of mineral waters, saunas, massage, and other healing treatments.

At HÄLSA, we are using the term “spa” in this traditional sense, a place of sanctuary dedicated to healing body, mind, and, spirit.

The modern world today is buzzing with activity. We’re constantly bombarded with light, noise, and information and it can be extremely hard to wind down, take a break, and just relax.

At HÄLSA, we believe that taking time away from our daily routines, shutting out sensation and reconnecting inwards allows us to step back into the world refreshed, restored, and better able to cope with the stresses of modern life.

By offering a time and space devoted to deep relaxation, we hope to empower people to live happy, healthy lives.

HÄLSA Spa's interior is influenced by Scandinavian design, a movement characterized by simplicity, minimalism, and functionality. Beauty is found expressed through clean lines, radiated through light color, and evoked with inspirations of nature and the ample use of wood.

We wholeheartedly believe in the core principles of Scandinavian design: good design should be accessible to all and beauty and functionality should go hand in hand.

HÄLSA features:

4 Floatation Therapy Rooms - featuring 2 double-sized Ocean Float Rooms and 2 state of the art space-age Genesis Float Pods

What is Floatation Therapy? A modern take on the ancient practice of "taking the waters," flotation therapy offers tremendous benefits for total health. While floating effortlessly on just 10" of salt-saturated water the body naturally unwinds and with the body completely relaxed, the mind follows. A reset for your body and mind. A truly transformative experience.

2 Private Infrared Saunas - HÄLSA Spa has two custom made private infrared saunas, each equipped with a private shower. HÄLSA's Hemlock sauna is large enough to bring your yoga mat or book the Cedar Sauna to simply rest, relax and sweat out your tension. Couple's saunas available.


We also offer massage with extremely talented bodyworkers and are continually adding additional treatments to our roster of experiences, so please check our website or stop in and say hello to find out more...

All HÄLSA Spa Vancouver services allow you to enjoy our mezzanine Meditation Lounge. With tea and interesting books, you can continue to de-stress after your treatment.

We also provide private vanity areas with hair dryers, lotion, etc. so that you can head back into the world looking as good as you feel.

It is our hope that Vancouverites will see HÄLSA as their sanctuary in the city. A special place to take some time to relax, contemplate their thoughts and the meaning of the universe, appreciate good design, be inspired, and take away from the experience peace, health, happiness and restored energy and strength that radiates throughout their everyday lives.
