Hard to believe, but with long summer days filled with endless outdoor activities, it’s hard not to agree. As Whistler’s only lakeside resort and spa, Nita Lake Lodge is perfectly located for you to soak up the summer sun and enjoy everything Whistler has to offer. When planning our summer getaway, our non-negotiables are a centrally located, luxurious base to call home with easy access to adventures, delectable dining options for every meal, and a transcendent spa to unwind after an exciting Whistler experience.

It’s not a true Whistler summer experience without a morning dip in the glacial waters of Nita Lake. If a cool plunge isn’t for you, take the canoes, kayaks or paddle boards out for a paddle. All hotel guests enjoy complimentary access to these amenities. To book your slot, speak to the Front Desk team on the day of use.
Following your time on, or in, the lake, head to The Den to explore more of our delicious breakfast items. When you stay on the weekend, our Brunch Buffet is available every Sunday.
