Please note that towels are not included, and guests are asked to bring their own.

Massages That Melt Your Worries Away

Due to the influence of and proximity to the One Wellness Centre, Recovery Zone specializes in therapeutic massage. The array of massage therapy at Solara Resort is designed to cater to your unique needs and preferences. Regardless of which massage type you choose, they're all ideal for soothing sore muscles and promoting recovery.

  • Relaxation Massage: A true treat, the Relaxation Massage uses an integrative therapeutic approach, ensuring your massage is tailor-made to address your needs. Choose either 60 or 90 minutes, and consider adding an aromatherapy option.

  • Recovery Massage: The highly experienced, registered massage therapists provide Recovery Massage focusing on Therapeutic, Relaxation, or Deep Tissue. You can select a 60- or 90-minute session, with or without cupping.

  • Cupping Massage: A fantastic option for those seeking stress relief and rejuvenation. This therapy involves special cups being applied to the skin to create suction. It's an ancient holistic practice to release tension, enhance circulation, and activate the body's natural healing processes. Choose a 60- or 90-minute massage focusing on Therapeutic, Deep Tissue, Aromatherapy, or Relaxation to revitalize and refresh you.

  • Prenatal Massage: If you're an expectant mother, the Prenatal massage is tailored just for you.

For guests seeking a different kind of relief, Recovery Zone Spa at Solara also offers Therapeutic/Sports Recovery Massages and Reiki treatments. These are experiences rather than just services. The skilled therapists work their magic to help you unwind and find that inner peace you've been craving.

Saunas That Make You Say Ahh

After a day of exploring Canmore, step into one of the specialty saunas at The Recovery Zone. To help melt away stress or simply reflect on a day well spent, they have an Aromatherapy Steam Room, a cedar sauna, and an infrared sauna. Each has its distinct benefits, from soothing aromas to the warmth of cedar and the deep-penetrating infrared heat.

At the "polar" opposite end of the spectrum, there's also an invigorating Polar Plunge for adventurous souls. Especially when paired with a session in one of the saunas, it's the perfect way to cool down and get your blood circulating.

A Relaxation Oasis

The Recovery Zone Spa is far more than just massages and saunas. The expert team created an oasis centred around helping unwind and refresh. After your services, head to the Recovery Lounge to round out your spa relaxation experience perfectly. With complimentary beverages and a chilled-out, tranquil atmosphere, it's the ideal space to clear your mind and escape the daily hustle and bustle.

The Recovery Lounge also offers Compression Therapy and Mobility Vibration Therapy for enhanced muscle recovery. These innovative treatments help muscles recover faster and relieve tension, allowing you to get back out exploring with renewed energy.

The Importance of Relaxation on Vacation

For most, the idea of relaxing on vacation is a nice thought. However, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of exploring new places and rushing from one attraction to the next, but taking time for self-care is essential. Since you're already on vacation, there's no better time. 

The Solara Resort spa isn't just about pampering; it also focuses on restoring your body and mind. Not only will this let you make the most of your getaway, but it goes a long way in helping you feel rejuvenated when it's time to get back to reality.

Vacations should be a break from the everyday stresses of life, and the spa is designed to complement that. Whether you opt for a massage, a sauna session, or a Polar Plunge, it's all about you and your well-being.
