About Nita Lake Lodge

Nita Lake Lodge stands on glacier-fed Nita Lake, minutes from Whistler Creekside, and calls itself Whistler’s only lakeside resort and spa. Its suites face the lake or the mountain, and guests have a boutique spa, rooftop and lakeside hot tubs, a barrel sauna and three places to eat.

On Nita Lake

Nita Lake Lodge sits at 2131 Lake Placid Road, where forest paths and bike trails meet the shore of glacier-fed Nita Lake, minutes from Whistler Creekside and its gondola. A village shuttle, included for guests, runs to Whistler Village, and in summer bicycles, paddle boards and canoes are lent to guests.

The Spa

The Spa at Nita Lake Lodge is a boutique spa by the lake, with massages, Himalayan salt scrubs and mud wraps, Kundalini massage and results-driven aesthetics such as oxygen facials and laser treatments. Spa guests must be 16 or over, and you may check in up to two hours before your appointment to enjoy the facilities.

Whistler’s only lakeside resort and spa, in the lodge’s words.

Around the lodge, rooftop hot tubs look over the lake and mountains, the lakeside hot tub is open daily 8am–10pm, and the newest addition is a lakeside barrel sauna. A yoga garden and an on-site gym, open 8am–10pm, complete the wellness offer.

The suites

This is an all-suite lodge. Studio and Studio Lake View Suites have a contemporary mountain style, one-bedroom suites guarantee a patio or balcony, and two-bedroom suites spread over two levels with large patios over the lake and rainforest. Corner suites add extra lounges, and the largest, overlooking Whistler Mountain, has 1,415 sq ft and a private elevator entrance. Every room has a Dyson hairdryer, and pet-friendly rooms can be reserved.

Eating and drinking

The Den cooks seasonal dishes with farm-to-table produce and herbs and greens from the lodge garden. Lakeside Lounge serves oysters, seafood towers and small plates with cocktails by the water, and Fix Café, a Creekside favourite, does pastries, pizza and sandwiches. Creekbread, for wood-fired flatbreads, is a short walk away.

Ski services

Whistler Blackcomb is moments away from Creekside, and the lodge’s partnership gives guests savings on rentals and retail.

Our advice: book a lake-view suite, take the rooftop hot tub at dusk, and try the lodge’s signature salt scrub and massage.
