Getaways – Tigh-Na-Mara Spa & Resort

Posted by Robin Rivers on March 14th, 2010 1 Comment Printer-Friendly

When it’s time to head out of town sans partner and children, the one spot that almost always comes to mind when hanging out with my pals is Tigh-Na-Mara Spa & Resort in Parksville. This gorgeous retreat is a true mom getaway that can be a time to get away with one friend or a weekend with the girls – all in the name of recharging your batteries.

I’ll just get right to the good stuff. We go to Tigh-Na-Mara for one very special thing – their Guilty Pleasures Package.

It’s totally designed for the mom in serious need of a break from the family and is one of the most fantastic ways to indulge in a weekend away.

You get to start things off with a complimentary bottle of wine in your beautifully appointed guest room, as you raise a toast to the ultimate girls’ getaway.

Feeling stressed? Take your $55 credit to the Grotto Spa, recently voted the #1 Destination Spa in Canada by Glow Magazine. Choose a Spa Rituals Manicure or put your credit towards the treatment you need most from their extensive selection. Your Guilty Pleasures package also includes Grotto Day Passes that you can use anytime during your stay, offering access to the Grotto Mineral Pool and the Relaxation Lounges.

When it’s time to dine, enjoy Endless Tapas at the Treetop Tapas & Grill. Relax in your luxurious chenille robe and sandals in their exclusive spa restaurant, as you sample as many delectable West Coast-inspired tapas as you desire.

The Guilty Pleasures Package includes;

  • Two or more night’s accommodation,
  • $45 credit per adult towards Endless Tapas in the Treetop Tapas & Grill,
  • One Pass per adult to the Grotto Spa Mineral Pool,
  • $55 credit per adult towards a spa treatment at the Grotto Spa, and
  • One Bottle of Wine in your guestroom upon arrival.

~ 2 Night packages from $802 per room (based on 4 people sharing). That’s $200 per person for all of the goodness.

A quick drive of about an hour, Tigh-Na-Mara also offers some awesome family and couples packages. But, really, it’s all about the moms in my book.

Tigh-Na-Mara gets the highest marks and certified parent getaway from OBE.

Here at Our Big Earth we have a strict policy about how we handle getaway reviews. We always pay for everything ourselves during a getaway, don't ask for comps and only review locations we've enjoyed and would visit again. Advertisers cannot pay to have their establishment reviewed and you'll never see a link, product or business mention in a post that has been purchased by that business.
