Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! Your comfort is our number one priority. The tent has an electric fireplace, massage table heater & warm towels to bundle you in. It also is waterproof for those rainy west coast days.
-
Stillwater Nature Spa's tent is open from late spring to early fall annually. We offer outcall massage in the shoulder seasons.
-
Stillwater Nature Spa is not a clinical space, and we do not offer treatments by Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs).
Our practitioners each have over 1,000 hours of training and years of experience in luxury spa settings. Their work is rooted in presence, intuition, and a deep understanding of the body.
What we offer is something different; an experience designed to support your nervous system, ease physical tension, and invite you into a slower, more connected state.
From the forest walk to the treatment itself, every element is intentional. This is a space to soften, to land, and to return to your body.
-
Stillwater operates from a single boutique spa tent, so the maximum number of guests we can treat simultaneously is two, through our Couples or Duo session. For a group of three, we arrange bookings back-to-back so your time together flows naturally.
Many groups find this works beautifully. In between sessions, there is a peaceful inlet right beside the spa, North Chesterman Beach is a short walk away, and Hotel Zed has a restaurant on-site. It ends up feeling like a relaxed shared experience rather than a wait.
To secure your preferred times, we recommend booking online as availability can shift quickly during peak season. Once your bookings are in place, reach out and we are happy to help coordinate the timing so it works well for your group.
-
We accept debit, Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and cash.
-
Yes we require credit cards to hold bookings. Your credit card will only be charged if you provide less than 48 hours notice, no show or if your payment card at the tent was declined.
-
Our massages are customizable, so whether you are comfortable with or without, or in or active wear we can adjust your treatment accordingly. You will be provided with proper draping to respect your privacy at all times. If you have any concerns regarding this we are happy to answer any questions at the time of booking.

Stillwater is one of the only spas in Tofino built directly into the old-growth rainforest, just steps from North Chesterman Beach. Instead of a standard treatment room, sessions happen in a heated forest tent, with botanical massage, hot stones, and sage and cedar rituals drawn from West Coast tradition. It's the combination of setting and ritual that sets it apart: guests aren't just getting a massage, they're getting deep rest in a place built for it.

Stillwater Nature Spa has two locations on BC's West Coast: a forest sanctuary in Tofino, just 30 minutes from Ucluelet and a short walk from North Chesterman Beach, and a coastal cove on Hornby Island, steps from the Salish Sea. Wherever you're staying on Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands, one of the two is likely close by. Book your visit here. to find the location and time that works best.
