this is one of my favourite spots in vancouver. while i miss the cozy cute east van spot, the new digs on granville island are really beautiful. it’s a perfect set up for a couple hours of ultimate relaxation, you have everything you need to just completely let go. i’m generally not a fan of anything other than traditional sauna, but the wellpod is such a different experience, it’s not really comparable to the average sauna/cold plunge thing. going in there and stretching is pure bliss. my absolute favourite thing about circle is that it’s private. i don’t have to make small talk with strangers, and i don’t have to wear a bathing suit. that’s truly what i’m there for; solitude and freedom. absolute heaven, would recommend to anyone and everyone.

What a pleasant experience. 90 minutes seems perfect for the time in there. I think two hours would be better if you came with another person. I went alone this time, but I’ll bring my fiancé next time. Everything‘s perfectly designed and I feel amazing after leaving. It’s a very relaxing experience. It allows you to be with your own thoughts and clear your mind. I went on a rainy day, which was pretty cool because part of it open to the sky. The cold plunge isn’t too cold, it sits around 10° so that’s workable for most people.

Amazing place to relax and recharge. Been there during all seasons and I recommend going when the Vancouver weather is a bit colder - experiencing rain when in Circle Wellness is next level. They always have a fresh batch of delicious herbal tea ready as well as hot and cold water and ice. The wellness pod gets completely dark for a couple of minutes and you might want to be prepared that. But honestly, we've had one session without the darkness and it does not leave you as relaxed as when you can't see a thing. Be prepared to leave this place completely buzzing and ready to hit the bed.

My partner and I had initially shied away from Circle Wellness due to the price, but I decided to book it for a special occasion, and it completely exceeded every expectation. The space is so thoughtfully designed, from the layout and fixtures to the lighting, ambiance, and overall flow of the experience. Every detail is intentional and calming, creating a true sense of escape from the city. What they have built is not just a wellness space but a beautifully curated experience that restores both body and mind. We are absolutely coming back.

Exactly what I needed. Such a perfect spot to recharge, clear my head, and just feel like myself again. It honestly felt like a mini vacation without leaving town. I came with my partner and we both loved every minute. The staff are super welcoming and the private spa area is gorgeous and so peaceful. I could have stayed all day. Highly recommend — we’ll definitely be back!
