After a few full days of adventuring in Alberta’s capital city (there are SO many things to do in Edmonton), you’ll probably need some pampering! So whether you walked your feet off at West Edmonton Mall or had a very fun (but exhausting) day with the family at Fort Edmonton Park, plan for some YOU time and book an experience at one of these amazing Edmonton spas.
The Best Edmonton Spas
Ahava Day Spa
Location: 10132 105 St NW #200
Aiming to promote a “universal movement for self-care and self-love”, Ahava Day Spa is known as being one of the most relaxing spas in Edmonton. With plenty of spa services to choose from, this boutique spa offers everything from massages to waxing to body treatments to even more specific services such as hydrotherapy and reflexology. Some of the most popular services include the Anti-age Eminence Facial (with peels and brighteners suitable for more mature skin), the Dead Sea Mud Wrap (you can add on a 40-minute massage as well), and the Hydrotherapy plus massage package. Please note: they only offer natural nair care, so your manicure will not include gels or shellac.
We highly recommend booking your appointment well in advance for Ahava Day Spa; if you want to have a spa package or service on a weekend, for example, you’ll have to book at least a month in advance. But with a relaxing environment, friendly staff, and amazing treatments, it’s easy to see why so many clients keep coming back.
Studio J Urban Spa
Location: 10014 Jasper Ave
In downtown Edmonton, Studio J Urban Spa is the place you should go if you’re looking for some of that old-school glamour. As they say, “From the elegance of Audrey Hepburn to the sophistication of Cary Grant, at Studio J, you’re a star.” Open by appointment only, this wonderful little spa is all about making you look and feel your best. With tons of services – including skin care, nail services, hair removal, massages, makeup application and eyelash treatments – we also love the spa packages available.
Whether it’s your first visit or your 50th, the Studio J Urban Spa staff immediately treat you like their favourite customer. Let your stress melt away and indulge in all of the relaxation they have on offer; we love the Complete Indulgence Body Ritual (with exfoliating scrubs, wraps and massages) as well as the “Just Chill” spa package (which includes a hands and feet experience with a full body scrub and massage). Another bonus? They aim to only use the most natural products available, calling them “wellness jewels” of fruits, minerals, plants, spices, and precious stones.
Wellness On Whyte

For a therapeutic day out, visit Wellness on Whyte. Calling themselves a “healing sanctuary in the heart of Edmonton,” Wellness on Whyte aims to rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul.

If you’re looking to go outside the box, we recommend their infrared sauna, tarot readings, astrology readings, and reiki. For more traditional spa services, their massage therapists are wonderful; there’s a range of specialty massages, including cupping, hot stone, lymphatic drainage, prenatal, and our favourite, the sacred rain massage, which combines massage therapy and reflexology techniques with essential oils. Their facials and facial rejuvenation acupuncture are also fantastic.
