About this spa
Perched above Okanagan Lake in Vernon, this adults-only retreat feels designed for the slow exhale. Crystal-lit interiors, wide mountain views, and a hush that carries from the relaxation rooms to the heated outdoor pool give the resort a polished European wellness character without losing its sense of place in the Okanagan. Guests come here to settle into the scenery as much as the spa itself, whether that means watching weather move across the water from a hot tub, easing into a deep soak by the window, or starting the day with breakfast framed by hills and lake light. The real rhythm of a stay is found in the thermal circuit: Finnish sauna, aromatic steam rooms, cooling showers, cold plunge, and quiet tea breaks in between. That hot-cold ritual is a major draw, and Sparkling Hill Resort & Spa - Adult Only 16+ delivers it with the kind of sensory detail wellness travelers remember, from herbal heat and soft eucalyptus notes to the restorative calm of robe-clad afternoons. Massage treatments, yoga spaces, floating sauna sessions, and private corners for decompression round out the experience, making this a natural fit for couples, solo reset seekers, and anyone craving a quieter, view-filled escape.

But when you take the time to do a good hot, cool down and then relax in either the aqua or tea room - it’s a great experience. We always bring enough food just to have in the room. Watch out that your bottles don’t fall out of your fridge onto the hard tile floor ;-) We…”

Be careful when you book if you want a view, make sure you get a superior room. But we do find mountain or Lakeview are both good. Aufgahs was a fun experience!
