About this spa
On the edge of Okanagan Lake, Shelter Floating Sauna offers a quiet, restorative escape shaped by heat, cold, and still water. Guests come here to slow down in a clean, thoughtfully designed space that feels polished without losing its sense of ease. The Finnish sauna, private setting, shower, and massage rooms support a flexible wellness rhythm, while the cold plunge adds the invigorating contrast therapy that so many visitors praise. Whether you are unwinding after a day on the slopes, sharing a midweek reset with friends, or simply carving out time to recharge, the experience feels grounding from the moment you arrive. What makes Shelter memorable is the way the setting amplifies everything else. The floating design, mountain backdrop, and lakeside views create a calm, destination-worthy atmosphere, and the staff are often noted for being warm, attentive, and easy to be around. Guests appreciate that they can move between sauna, plunge, and rest at their own pace, making the session feel personal rather than rigid. With a Wellness Score of 78, it stands out as a scenic, well-run wellness center built for small gatherings, with room for up to 10 guests.

“Had a blast with my family at the sauna today. Super relaxing and had a good time splashing in the cold plunge. The girl working there was awesome and tried her best to keep the music connected. We will definitely be back with more friends! The social deal is great and we loved the midweek reset. 🙂”
