About Kelowna Lakeside Massage

Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in a massage therapy experience unlike any other. At Kelowna Lakeside Massage, we offer an elevated and luxurious retreat designed to soothe the senses and restore balance—right on the shores of beautiful Okanagan Lake.

Choose from 45, 60, or 90-minute massage experiences, each tailored to your needs and delivered by skilled, intuitive hands. Whether you’re seeking deep therapeutic work or gentle relaxation, our approach is personalized, professional, and profoundly nurturing.

Our setting is what truly sets us apart. Nestled in a quiet lakefront garden just steps from downtown Kelowna, your massage takes place in either our serene indoor studio or beneath a breezy garden canopy. Surrounded by the sound of lapping waves, swaying trees, and birdsong, every moment is designed to help you unwind in nature’s embrace.

We believe wellness is not just about the massage—it’s the entire experience. Begin or end your session with light refreshments and nourishing snacks, offered with care. The atmosphere is calm, private, and intimate—ideal for individuals, couples, or small groups seeking to reconnect, recharge, and indulge.

Whether you’re a local looking to escape the pace of daily life or a visitor seeking the best of Kelowna’s natural beauty and spa culture, Kelowna Lakeside Massage invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and let go.

Because your time here isn’t just a treatment—it’s a retreat.
