In a move that highlights its commitment to holistic well-being, The Parkside Hotel & Spa in Victoria, British Columbia, has introduced a specialized retreat designed to support women during a pivotal phase of their lives—menopause.
This innovative package, titled the "Radiant Renewal Retreat," is crafted to offer women a restorative getaway that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit, all while celebrating the power of sisterhood and friendship.
Located in the heart of Victoria, The Parkside Hotel & Spa is positioning itself as the go-to destination for women seeking solace and rejuvenation during their menopause journey. The hotel’s suites, described as "home-away-from-home sanctuaries," serve as the perfect backdrop for this unique experience. Guests can enjoy a variety of amenities and activities aimed at promoting well-being, while still being just steps away from Victoria's renowned attractions.
The retreat experience begins the moment guests check into their suites, where they are welcomed with a carefully curated food-craving kit. This indulgent offering features locally sourced Neapolitan-style pizza and decadent gelato, setting a tone of relaxation and enjoyment. “Calories don’t count on vacation,” the hotel notes, inviting guests to fully embrace the indulgence.
For those looking to explore the city, The Parkside offers complimentary bike rentals, accompanied by Happy Trails maps. These guides lead guests through Victoria’s best sites, shopping districts, and dining spots, allowing them to explore at their own pace.
Evenings at The Parkside are designed for connection and comfort. Guests can choose between a private movie night in the hotel’s theatre, complete with classic chick flicks and popcorn packages, or a cozy gathering around the rooftop firepit for a marshmallow roasting experience. Both options provide ideal settings for bonding with friends.
After a restful night’s sleep, the focus shifts to self-care and wellness. The hotel’s spa offers a 10% discount on all treatments, which include soothing massages, revitalizing facials, and pampering pedicures. As an added touch, a locally sourced cheese board for two is provided in the relaxation room, perfect for unwinding after treatments.
The wellness experience continues with access to the hotel’s pool and hot tub, and the option to participate in guided restorative yoga and Shavasana sessions. Guests are provided with yoga mats, blocks, and a tablet featuring a selection of audio relaxation journeys, allowing them to extend the retreat experience within the comfort of their suite.
"We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with menopause," says Trina White, general manager of The Parkside Hotel & Spa. "Our suites are designed to feel just like home, offering unparalleled comfort and tranquility. With thoughtfully curated amenities, soothing spa services, and a warm, inviting atmosphere, our team provides a supportive and rejuvenating retreat where women can relax, connect, and embrace this new chapter of life."
The Radiant Renewal Retreat is available for booking through The Parkside’s reservations team or via the hotel’s website. The package is designed for double occupancy and includes a two-night suite stay, spa discounts, and a range of other thoughtful inclusions.
For those looking to recharge and reconnect with friends while embracing the journey of menopause, The Parkside Hotel & Spa offers an unparalleled experience in the heart of one of Canada’s most charming cities.
