In a world where travelers crave deeper rest, meaningful connections, and immersive wellness, Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort & Conference Centre has unveiled its newest experience: the Garden Oasis — a tranquil, open-air sanctuary nestled within the lush forest surrounding its celebrated Grotto Spa.
Thoughtfully designed to blend nature and relaxation, the Garden Oasis invites guests to unwind in plush loungers beneath a canopy of towering trees, surrounded by native West Coast plantings and the soothing sounds of water and birdsong. It’s a place to breathe deeply, slow down, and reconnect — naturally.
This serene retreat complements the Grotto Spa’s expansive amenities, which include cedar-barrel saunas, open-air showers, a mineral pool inspired by a natural rock grotto, a cool-splash waterfall, an indoor whirlpool, and the spa’s exclusive Treetop Tapas & Grill. It’s a seamless fusion of elemental therapy and intentional design.
“We created the Garden Oasis as a space where guests can feel grounded, unrushed, and fully embraced by the elements,” says Paulina Alexander, Spa Director at Tigh-Na-Mara. “It’s about letting nature do what it does best — calm the mind, soothe the body, and restore inner balance.”
The Garden Oasis marks the next step in the Grotto Spa’s evolution, following a $2.5 million revitalization that refreshed its mineral pool, change rooms, and interiors with design elements inspired by the natural world. The spa remains a top destination in Canada for couples’ escapes, wellness seekers, and culinary spa-goers alike.
Nestled on 22 acres of oceanfront and forest beside Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park and the Salish Sea, Tigh-Na-Mara continues to grow its legacy of wellness through authentic, place-based experiences. With the opening of the Garden Oasis, the resort invites guests to not just visit—but to slow down, stay longer, and truly feel the restorative power of the West Coast.
The Garden Oasis is now open and included as part of the signature Grotto Experience at Tigh-Na-Mara.
