If you're passionate about holistic wellness, value connection, and want to be part of a team that genuinely cares  Whistler Day Spa is a beautiful place to be.

I have been working for the Whistler Day Spa for over 2 years now and I never, ever had any issue with the job.

The management is amazing and makes it so easy! They will always make sure the team is happy and will try to help you for whatever you need. More than a job, it was a true human experience. 

I am a beautician and I have always been pretty booked, which means it's good money.
The slow season is a bit quiet with massages but it does not last long anymore. So keep going if you arrive at that time, trust me it is so worth it during Winter! 

I consider myself very lucky to have been part of the team and will only work for this Spa if I ever come back to Whistler.

The more you stay, the more you get benefits. They will also make the schedule with consideration of your needs and the team will be here to help. They will train you in whatever you need to make sure your comfortable practicing your beautiful job.

As a beautician and massage therapist I could not have a better option than the Whistler Day Spa to exerce my profession. I am infinitely grateful.

I joined the Whistler Day Spa team as a Spa receptionist in 2012 and although I was new to the industry, I could not have found a better mentor in the owner. I learned a great deal about what it takes to run a successful business in a competitive environment such as Whistler and how to provide a positive working atmosphere for your team. 

Many staff members returned year after year for the winter season which I feel was a result of the great leadership and professional attitude of the owner. The flexibility with working hours ensured each staff member enjoyed a good work/life balance while the approach to open communication meant that any ideas were taken on board and also any issues were quickly resolved no matter how small.

From the outset, I was made to feel like a valuable member of the team and I would highly recommend WDS as a great place to work.

You can work as many hours as you like whether it be half or full days. In the winter it tends to be opening or closing hours so you have plenty of free time on the mountain. You always get two consecutive days off which is great. You get a 30min lunch break and breaks if needed. The schedule is flexible. 

The company is amazing at training and supporting progression. You are constantly reviewed and encouraged to develop your skills. This means therapists earn very good tips. 

Management is organised and supportive. They always try to take on your suggestions, listen and are fair. They are very relatable and accommodating. There is a good balance of being friends and also respect. 

The team is amazing and very welcoming. The wellness aspect is encompassed through the services and the job. The company cares about its employees and is always provides surprises/perks/benefits to keep us extra happy. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
I may be a little biased as the Spa Experience & Team Development Manager, but Whistler Day Spa truly has an amazing team 💛 Such a welcoming, positive environment and so rewarding to work alongside people who genuinely care about creating a relaxing, memorable experience for every guest. Proud to be part of it!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Like any busy spa environment, the busiest seasons can be fast-paced and demanding, especially when balancing guest experience with scheduling and operations. But the team is incredibly supportive, and everyone works together to make sure both guests and staff feel cared for.

I have worked for Whistler Day Spa for over 5 years and I have always been excited to go to work. I don't think many jobs can make you feel this happy!  The work environment is very positive and friendly. The culture is amazing. If there is a problem, we find a solution! Being in a Manager position, I learned and developed a lot of skills. The owner is a wonderful mentor. We recruit people who are like-minded, passionate about wellness and fun to work with; the team here is awesome! The schedule gives you flexibility to enjoy Whistler, which is so important when you live here. As an employee of Whistler Day Spa, you feel supported and cared for which is can be rare in this town. I can't recommend this workplace enough. I will miss it terribly.

Whistler Day Spa is an amazing place to work. The team is always friendly and supportive, and management is approachable and helpful. One of the things I love the most is the work-life balance I had plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors and everything Whistler has to offer while still making good money as a massage therapist. There are also fun staff activities throughout the year, which makes it easy to get to know your coworkers. Overall, it has been a rewarding place to work, where I’ve been able to continue developing my skills as a therapist while working alongside a great team.

A typical day at work involves providing spa treatments such as massages and facials while ensuring guests receive a high level of care and service. I learned more about customer service, spa operations, and working in a fast-paced hospitality environment. Management is generally supportive and open to communication. The workplace culture is friendly and team-oriented, with staff from diverse backgrounds working together to create a positive guest experience.

I joined WDS in January 2018 and have loved every minute of it. The owner, management and team of girls are all so welcoming, personable and fun! I didn’t want my time in Whistler to be all work and no play, but management have been so helpful and flexible with the scheduling that the work/life balance has been perfect. I’ve learnt so much in my first receptionist role and being surrounded by a positive group of people has made it such a great experience for me.

I applied for a job here after coming here as a guest for over a year. I loved the environment, people and location that I got to know over that time. 

Since then, I have also began to appreciate the flexibility, and opportunities within the spa. I feel management is always very friendly, approachable and understanding. For me, it is the ideal job and business for me in Whistler.
