Nestled in the heart of British Columbia's spectacular Cariboo region, nature has created a distinct and perfect setting for one of the world's premier spa and soft-adventure ranches. Surrounded by magnificent mountains, boreal forests, pristine lakes, winding rivers and steeply carved canyons, Echo Valley offers a wide range of outdoor activities, alongside deluxe comfort, gourmet food and extraordinary, one-of-a-kind spa services.

Guests have their choice of spa: one with a European flair for treatments and services; or one distinctly Thai that embraces the healing touch and simple elegance of Thai style, custom, culture and care.

The fusion of western and eastern influences is Echo Valley's most distinguishing feature, and with their extensive range of exquisite, professional spa services, the two spas provide guests with an exotic, all-encompassing spa wellness experience that is second to none.

Echo Valley is a wonderful anomaly where the west has been charmed with a touch of Thai. This could, perhaps, describe owners Norm and Nan Dove who themselves personify a cultural blend of warmth and hospitality. But it's also something more. Echo Valley offers guests a different pace of life-one in tune with its pristine surroundings and an environment that promotes wellness of mind, body and spirit. The Thai call this inner/outer harmony Sabai Sabai.

Add to this the beauty and ambiance of architecture of the extraordinary Baan Thai pavilion, and you discover the Echo Valley relationship between east and west that sees western culture alongside Thai themed evenings of food and dancing. And whatever your choice of spa, the Thai spa environment encourages you to surrender to the therapeutic experience for several hours, or even a full day of pampered bliss.

The Cariboo Spa

....is an intimate, multi-room spa offering a full range of classic, Thai and modern European treatments and refinement services. These include facials, herbal aromatherapy massages and steam baths, hydrotherapy, detoxifying body wraps, scrubs, manicures, pedicures and hair styling. Services are available as part of a package and on an a la carte basis. A comfortable lounge, with fireplace, invites guests to relax between appointments and sense the peace of well being.

The Baan Thai Spa

.... embraces Sabai Sabai, a traditional Thai lifestyle of mind, body and spirit, which encompasses the ancient wisdom of Thai healing rituals and herbal products. These include treatments such as authentic Thai massage, Luk Pra Kob Herbal Rejuvenation Ritual, and Din So-Pong White Thai Mud Wraps. Delivered by professionally trained therapists from Thailand, these treatments have been known for thousands of years for their medicinal and healthful properties. They are recognized to complement, even enhance, western approaches to medicine, and are considered an essential component to Thai wellness practices.

These therapies are best experienced in the Baan Thai's Sabai Sabai Spa. With its atmosphere of harmony for the body, mind and soul, this is a sanctuary for the senses from soothing Thai music, to air that is fragrant with specially blended oils, herbs and spices. Many of these have been sourced from rural origins, and imported for our exclusive use. The Spa is adorned with Thai silks, teak, and ornaments, and includes a mineral mountain-mist herbal steam bath and jet shower, as well as a hydrotherapy bathtub. The Sala Thai (outside patio) becomes the perfect place for relaxation or a private Thai spa cuisine lunch. It's an ideal spot for meditation, and to practice Ruesri Dat Ton, a gentle form of self-stretching health exercise. Ruesri Dat Ton has been practised in Thailand for thousands of years, and is appropriate for all ages and abilities.

About The Baan Thai

Overlooking the ranch and its spectacular vistas, The Baan Thai is a showcase of traditional Thai architecture. While its exterior incorporates honey-coloured western red cedar-a tribute to its western surrounds, its interior combines state-of-the-art amenities with beautiful Thai furniture and artefacts. The only one of its kind in North America, The Baan Thai, which comprises the Sabai Sabai Spa, a luxurious penthouse suite, a private Sala Thai and a multi-purpose room for classes and gatherings, was created by Dr. Pinyo Suwankiri, architect for the Thai Royal family. His projects include the recently completed King's summer palace in southern Thailand.
