The space is influenced by the teachings of Ayurveda, so you can enjoy an experience from the past.  You can identify your Dosha, which is basically dividing personalities into three categories- Vata, Pitta and Kapha, and accordingly receive a spa treatment. 
     
    Miraj Hammam Spa is perfect if you need to gift your mother a spa experience in a totally different cultural setting. In the midst of Middle Eastern vibe, you can opt for a steam chamber followed by massage and exfoliation. Mother's Day special brings you Black Moroccan Soap exfoliation in Jerusalem gold marble steam room, followed by a 30-minute full body massage with aromatic essential oils & aromatherapy facial.

Enjoy the gorgeous ride to Whistler, the beautiful village and from there head out to Cougar Mountain to take a SuperFly Zip-lining tour.
