Head to the Spa

If you’re looking to unwind, booking a spa day is one of the easiest ways to reset. Kelowna has a mix of options depending on what kind of experience you’re after:

  • Cleopatra’s Rituals Spa – A unique experience with a sauna, steam room, and snow room circuit
  • The Wellness Spa – A full-service spa with massages, facials, and access to pools and hot tubs
  • Namaste Day Spa & Medical Spa – Ideal for facials, laser treatments, and more advanced skincare
  • Orah Spa + Lifestyle – A modern, elevated option known for facials and skin-focused treatments
  • Sweat Studios – A fitness and recovery space offering infrared sauna and cold plunge experiences
  • The Luxe Spa – A Kelowna spa offering head spa treatments, body massages, and relaxing wellness services. Check out my reel here.

If you’re looking for a Facial Specifically

Facials are great for rehydration after the dry winter season. My go-tos are HydraFacial, chemical peels, or microneedling.

  • I’ve partnered with Organic Glow Medical Aesthetics in the past and high recommend them! The whole team is very welcoming and professional, and the space is adorable. They offer a wide range of services and treatments to help you look and feel your best. If you’re looking for a new place to try, give them a visit!
  • Araya Skin also offers great medical facials! With their result-driven, medical-grade technology, they can treat all skin types safely and effectively.

Get your Nails Done

One of my favourite self-care treats. I tend to switch up where I go every so often, even though I always stick to a classic white polish. A few places I’ve been to and would recommend, plus a couple others worth checking out:

  • The Ten Spot – Modern, clean space with a range of nail and foot treatments
  • VN Nails – Well‑loved for careful application and consistent results
  • UNI Nails & Spa – Clean, welcoming spot with solid reviews and a variety of services

Get a Massage

Who doesn’t love a massage?! They are such a great way to relax both your body and mind.

Move Your Body: Kelowna Fitness Studios

Taking time to move your body is one of the most effective forms of self-care. Whether it’s a high-energy class or a slower, mindful flow, booking a workout can boost your mood, reduce stress, and help you feel your best.

  • STRONG Pilates – Strength-based group training with a motivating atmosphere.
  • Lagree Kelowna – Low-impact, high-intensity full-body workouts on the Megaformer.
  • Sunny Space Studio – A bright, boutique Pilates studio offering structured reformer classes that blend strength training with intentional movement in a welcoming, energizing space.
  • Pranify Yoga Kelowna – Yoga, breathwork, and mindful movement classes.
  • Global Fitness Kelowna – Full gym access, plus group fitness options.

Treat yourself to Local Flowers

Flowers are a simple way to brighten your day, add calm to your space, or simply treat yourself. Kelowna has some amazing local spots for fresh blooms, unique bouquets, and floral experiences:

Head Outside

Spending time outside is one of my favourite ways to practice self-care. Fresh air and a bit of movement are perfect for clearing your mind and recharging. Kelowna has plenty of fantastic trails nearby. You can see my top 10 hikes around the Okanagan here. I also love visiting the many waterfalls in the area, which you can read more about here.

I also enjoy joining local outdoor groups. I recently joined the run club at Barn Owl Brewery, and it has been a fun way to meet people while getting some fresh air and staying active. There are lots of ways to combine movement, nature, and community into your self-care routine!

Visit a Coffee Shop

Take a moment for yourself. Grab a delicious coffee, dive into a book, jot down some thoughts in your journal, or even just scroll on your phone. We often don’t give ourselves enough downtime, and a cozy coffee shop is the perfect place to recharge.

Some of my favourite spots in Kelowna include:

  • Analog – A small, aesthetic, earthy-toned space with great coffee
  • Deville – A beautiful modern space that serves unique beverages.
  • Sprout – A very spacious space, indoor and outdoor seating, with not only amazing coffee, but also great bread/pastries.

Relax at Home

Run a bath, light a candle with local products and enjoy a glass of wine! Try Marin candles for that luxury feel.

  • I love Kismet’s Saféd, Cedar Creek + Quails’ Gate Rose, and Summerhill Cipes Brut 

There you have it! It’s time to treat yourself and prioritize some self-care. You deserve it, and I hope this post gives you plenty of ideas for a little well-deserved “you” time.
