Traveling should be a joy, not a juggling act of packed schedules and endless to-do lists. Enter the art of relaxing travel—a mindset that embraces the journey as much as the destination, prioritizing relaxation and rejuvenation over ticking off every tourist spot on the map. And where better to master this art than in Whistler, a place where natural beauty meets cozy comfort. 

Here’s how you can turn your next trip to Whistler into the ultimate relaxing escape, with The Listel Hotel Whistler as your home base.

1. Slow Down and Savour the Journey

The first rule of relaxing travel? Don’t rush. Whether you’re driving up from Vancouver or flying in from afar, take your time. Enjoy the scenic drive along the Sea-to-Sky Highway—one of the most breathtaking routes in the world. Roll down the windows, stop at one of the lookouts, and take in the stunning scenery around you.

Once you arrive in Whistler, there’s no need to hurry from one activity to the next. The beauty of our mountain town is that everything is within walking distance, and there’s always something to enjoy, even at a leisurely pace. Check in to The Listel Hotel Whistler, drop your bags, and breathe—your relaxing adventure has officially begun.

2. Embrace the Art of Doing Nothing

Sometimes, the best way to relax is by simply doing nothing. At The Listel Hotel Whistler, you’ll find it easy to embrace this often forgotten practice. Begin your morning with a cozy cup of coffee in bed, savoring the quiet moments. 

Later, take a leisurely soak in the hotel’s hot tub or unwind in the sauna, letting the warmth melt away any lingering stress. The serene setting invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly embrace the beauty of doing absolutely nothing.

If you’re feeling particularly indulgent, why not enjoy a late morning soak in the hotel’s hot tub? There’s something incredibly satisfying about lounging in warm water while surrounded by the stunning views of Whistler’s mountains.

3. Get Lost in Whistler Village

One of the best things about Whistler is its village—a pedestrian-friendly haven filled with charming shops, cozy cafes, and inviting restaurants. Spend an afternoon wandering through the village, with no set agenda. Pop into The Audain Art Museum, sip on a hot chocolate at Blenz Coffee, or just find a bench and people-watch. The slower pace of Whistler Village makes it easy to unwind and just be in the moment.

4. Connect with Nature

There’s something about being in nature that instantly soothes the soul. Luckily, Whistler offers plenty of opportunities to reconnect with the great outdoors—no adrenaline sport required. Take a gentle walk around one of the many lakes in town, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings at your own pace. Or, if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, try an easy hike to one of Whistler’s many scenic viewpoints.

After a day of exploring, head back to The Listel Hotel Whistler to unwind in the sauna or treat yourself to a relaxing massage. The combination of fresh air and a little pampering is the perfect recipe for deep relaxation.

5. Indulge in Whistler’s Culinary Delights

Good food is key to relaxing travel, and Whistler delivers. Start your evening with a champagne sabering experience in the wine cellar at Bearfoot Bistro. Then, enjoy a leisurely dinner at the Bearfoot Bistro, where local ingredients and expertly prepared dishes make for a memorable meal. 

When you’re ready to call it a night, retreat to your comfortable room at The Listel Hotel Whistler, where you can drift off to sleep, feeling relaxed and knowing you enjoyed every moment of your day. 

6. Unplug and Reconnect with Yourself

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the demands of technology. But a relaxing vacation is the perfect opportunity to unplug, even if just for a little while. Leave your phone behind during your nature walks, skip checking emails in favour of reading a good book, or simply sit back and enjoy the stillness that comes with being offline.

Whistler’s natural beauty provides the perfect backdrop for reconnecting with yourself and nature. And at The Listel Hotel Whistler, you’ll have all the comforts of home, plus the added benefit of being surrounded by the tranquil mountains.

Key Tips for a Relaxing Travel Experience
