I spent my May long weekend at Sparkling Hill Resort in Vernon, BC, and it was an incredible experience. The resort is one of a kind, with over $10 million worth of Swarovski crystals incorporated throughout. Before my visit, I checked out the website and was in awe over the photos. When I saw it in person, I realized that the photos don’t even do the resort justice. It is so beautiful, and truly a place that needs to be experienced in person. Being a wellness resort, it is an incredible place to wind down and de-stress. They heavily focus on their spa and wellness program offerings, which take place in their 40,000 sqft spa. Yup, 40,000.

I captured as much as I could on my iPhone and posted a few on Instagram. Here is a more complete set of photos from my trip. Even as I view them again, I’m already dreaming about going back later this summer…

I only spent one night there, and it definitely didn’t feel long enough. I wish I could have slept one more night on the temperpedic mattress in my room! Overall, it was such a relaxing and peaceful stay, and I recommend it to anyone wanting to wind down, get away from the city, and just relax. 

Until next time, Sparkling Hill…
