HORNBY ISLAND, BC

Stillwater is an oceanside canvas tent spa on Hornby Island, BC, steps from the shoreline of the Salish Sea. The sound of the tide, the warmth of the sun-soaked sand, the salt in the air, creates something you won't find anywhere else on the Gulf Islands. We offer restorative massage, facials, and handcrafted botanical oils in a waterfront setting that guides your body back to itself. A deep, sensorial reset, and a peaceful return to your nervous system.

We know what it's like to finally reach a beautiful place and realize the tension came with you.

Stillwater was built from that understanding. Years of studying what happens when massage therapy meets the wild air, developing botanical blends with a master aromatherapist, training across the globe, and building a sanctuary on the water where the environment itself becomes part of the treatment, so we can guide others to much needed stillness in a busy world.

THREE STEPS TO RELAXATION

  • Stillwater offers a small, considered menu — the Signature Ritual, a Botanical Massage, a Cocoon for expectant mothers, and a shared experience for two. Each treatment can be deepened with enhancements: warmed basalt stones, a revitalizing scalp massage, or facial work.

  • Select your treatment and reserve your time here.

  • Stillwater sits on the shore of Seabreeze Lodge on Hornby Island. When you arrive, make your way to the office and your practitioner will meet you there. Together you'll follow a beach path to the shoreline, where the sanctuary awaits you.

Solid light blue surface with a slight texture.

The waves trickle softly,
while the trees whisper in the breeze.
A tent sits among the shoreline,
Calling to you-
guiding you back to yourself.
To rest.
To recover.
To let everything else dissolve.

BRING THE COASTLINE HOME

Stillwater's essential oils and botanical blends are handcrafted in small batches on the West Coast, so the calm you found on the coast doesn't have to stay there.
