Lake, mountains, natural hot springs, wilderness, comfort, fun and serenity... there is so much to explore at Halcyon Hot Springs Resort. Experience the beauty of the Kootenays and our exceptional amenities. The famous Halcyon Hot Springs Lithia Waters have a unique combination of minerals that are very relaxing and beneficial for a variety of ailments. The pools are constantly supplied with fresh hot springs water. Relax and rejuvenate in our natural mineral spring pools while gazing over serene Arrow Lake and the Monashee Mountain range. Linger at the springs a bit longer and make yourself at home in one of the charming cabins, luxurious cottages or chalets and enjoy complimentary access to the pools. The clear Arrow Lake invites for a dip (or swim) on those hot summer days. Enjoy the outstanding cuisine in the Alcedo Kitchen & Bar or a pampering treatment at the Spa at Halcyon. The resort is open year-round and winters are magical with world class skiing nearby.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
This is our 3rd time here. The cottages have been updated since our last visit, they were nice before, but now they are even nicer. Huge bathroom, large shower, toilet has built in bidet that was wonderful. Room had generous sized mini fridge, coffee maker/kettle, AC, TV & love seat. It was a bit tight walking around the bed, but otherwise fantastic for a couple.
Pools were great, we lucked out and it wasn’t very busy during our stay. The views from the pools are breathtaking.
Dinner in the Chanterelle restaurant was amazing. Portions were large and price was good. If you’re looking for breakfast, I suggest Hoss & Jill’s in Nakusp. If you just want a pastry & coffee then the poolside cafe is good.
The Spa (Under the new ownership of Pam) was amazing. We had a couples exfoliation treatment on the first day and a July Special 2hr treatment on the 2nd day. Both experiences were fantastic. The practitioners were very skilled, the products are plant based & cruelty free and we left feeling very rejuvenated.
Total cost- including breakfast in town and all tips at the resort was just under $2300. We splurged on the treatments but they were well worth it.
We will be back again.

My husband and I stayed at Halcyon Hot Springs Resort back in late April 2022 for 4 nights. And we had a wonderful stay. The King chalet we stayed was beautiful with amazing lake view, the whole surrounding was tranquil and serene. The resort was quiet when we stayed there, and therefore not many guests used the hot spring pools. The pools are clean, hot spring water quality is super and it doesn't smell too much of chlorine. The change and shower rooms are clean and have adequate amenities. With the snow capped mountains as a backdrop, the Halcyon Hot Spring Pools are absolate gems! We truly enjoyed our soaks! The resort has different types of accomodations to suit different budgets and needs, from those cute and small cabins on the hill, cottages with modern amenities, king chalets with larger space to the rustic 1 bedroom to 3 bedroom family cabins. They are all very unique and beautiful. The king chalet we stayed has great mattress and linens, a fully equipped kitchen, and the easy to use nespresso machine is a nice touch. We ate once in the Kingfisher restaurant and the food was amazing! The view was spectacular! 20 minute drive away is a little town called Nakusp, a walk on the lake side promenade is a must, the view is amazing. A heritage Leland Hotel by the lake looks unattrative from the outside, but once you go in and its patio restaurant view would give a huge surprise! We love Nakusp! A beautiful and relaxing town.
Back to the resort, I would recommend you bring your own paper towels for the kitchen use as they don't provide it. You may also ask for a kettle for making tea if you like. Bring along slippers for the rooms, you are not allowed to wear shoes in your chalets or cottages. Sandals for the pools would be nice. Last but not the least, the front desk staff are absolutely attentive, friendly and helpful, just to name a couple of them, Matthew, Collin and a girl who I don't remember the name. We would certainly return to the resort in the near future and would also recommend to others.

Just returned from a stay at Halcyon Hot Springs. We were there for 3 nights celebrating our 29th. wedding anniversary........ what a beautiful place ! We had heard many great things about this place , and finally had the opportunity to go. We were a little concerned about going at first due to Covid 19 but from the moment we arrived any concern we had soon disappeared. All Covid 19 sanitizing protocols are followed , sanitizing station , and masks are worn in all common areas. Felt completely safe. We stayed in a King Cottage ( Columbia ). Very roomy, clean and comfortable. Had a very comfy bed, great bathroom with heated floors, rain shower as well as a pulsating shower head. Pretty cool toilet too ! We were a short walk to the mineral pools so took the opportunity to go as often as we could. Due to Provincial Health Orders we were unable to eat in the Kingfisher Restaurant so instead of dining in , we would order from their menu then take it up to our cottage. Each meal (brown butter seared scallops, oven roasted chicken and beef tenderloin ) was very delicious and would highly recommend it. One afternoon after a soak in the pools we had a lovely bottle of bubbly with a charcuterie on our deck overlooking the trees & lake in the distance. We highly recommend Halcyon Hot Springs ....Extremely friendly & welcoming staff and can’t wait to go back 💕 We’ve already started planning for another getaway in the fall.

September 2020, was our trip of 3 couples on a hot springs tour. We made a one night reservation back in February, when we were told that they now had a two night minimum stay for the resort. They would give us 50% off the second night to appease us. This totaled over $1,000.00.
Things went along well until we tried to make dinner and breakfast in the kitchenette. Both burners didn't work properly (one was luke warm, the other didn't work at all) There was a hot plate also. It didn't work either (cycled hot then nothing, then hot, then nothing again) Cooked bacon on the bbq, less than ideal with no pan to use. At this time, we noticed a light bulb out and no garbage bags, and noted this to the staff and offered to install it. (because one of our party is an electrician) The reply we got was that they "do not supply light bulbs" for our rooms (really?) The knives to prep food were so dull, we used someone's Swiss army knife. We told the front desk about the stove and were told someone would be there to check on it (maintenance) But no one showed up. As for the cleanliness, maybe I am too picky (I clean in a hospital) but dust on the hairdryer in the bathroom, very dirty floors, and debris on the wall heater by the patio door, is not acceptable. They were apologetic at the from desk, but we just wanted a cabin where things worked. It is most annoying when you are ready to cook and don't have any other options. In regards to their pools, they were excellent and towels were always available for guests plus robes.

Beautiful and secluded destination. Unfortunately, way over priced in comparisons to Sparkling Hills Spa and surrounding Ski resorts. Tea and coffee in main lobby are not complimentary and cost 4$. No wifi, no extra perks for such a high rate. Pools are beautiful and relaxing but not worth the overnight stay.

This attraction is located near beautiful upper Arrow Lake with magnificent views of the Monashee Mountains. It has three pools at the upper level, the hottest one being 104 degrees. Open daily from 11 an to 5 pm, a maximum of 20 people at a time are permitted on first come, first served basis. It is open to registered resort guests and operates with strict cleaning protocols. My sister and I soaked in the hottest pool, tried the warm 99 degree pool and dipped our toes in the cold pool. Large umbrellas and large fir trees provide shade from the hot sun with relaxing lounge chairs to use before or after using the rich mineral pools. Two fluffy towels are provided upon entry. A locker room complete with showers, mirrors and dryers keep your belongings safe as you use the mineral-rich waters. Meeting rooms, spa yoga and dining are available at this luxury wellness resort. My sister and I enjoyed this stopover and decided that we would return at another time for a longer stay.

We went here for my birthday and to get away for the holidays. It was the first time have gone out of the states and going to the Halcyon hot springs resort was phenomenal. We stayed in the Queen cabin, which was amazing. Heated floors throughout the whole cabin, heated bathroom mirror, large walk in shower with a rain shower head, and a bidet. The warm seat was such a nice pleasure when it’s freezing cold out in Canada. The bed was comfy, the whole cabin felt cozy. The cabins are a short distance from the hot springs so that was a nice walk, especially after a nice hot soak. The staff takes great care of all the snow on walkways . First night of dinner at the Alcedo restaurant was delicious. I tried the 8 hour sous vide rabbit with fettuccine Alfredo. Amazing. The rabbit didn’t taste gamey and it was very tender. The fettuccine Alfredo, wow. Was spectacular. I make my own Alfredo sauce and this sauce was spectacular, especially with the home made fettuccine noodles. I get a little weary ordering fettuccine noodles because they’re too thick but these fettuccine noodles were perfectly thin with a nice bite. My boyfriend ordered the tenderloin, and that was spectacular as well. Especially since he typically orders a ribeye. All the wine and drinks were great as well. The next day for lunch we had the burgers and they were delicious burgers, the meat was well seasoned , there was sauce on the burger which made it more great because we hate a burger without condiments on it. The fries were hand cut and seasoned well. Breakfast was complimentary while we stayed there and typically one would think it’s like the basic pancakes, eggs, cereal. No , the e had a spectacular breakfast. Mine was the alcedo eggs Benedict, a type of soft boiled egg, wrapped with Parmesan cheese and deep fried, and with shrimp and asparagus. Sounded interesting and it was interesting amazing! Even the regular eggs, sausage and bacon meal was great. We had a great soak in the hot springs, there weren’t that many people at night so it was so great to just relax without loud noise. We actually enjoyed being in the hot springs during the adult hour so there weren’t loud children. Everyone definitely has to try the cold pool. It was a blast . We spent a spectacular Christmas weekend away and it was well worth it.

We have been to Halycon 3 times and every time has been awesome. The pet friendly cabins are great. The front desk staff tries to accommodate all your needs. One thing to know is that the cabins are not well supplied so bring paper towel, saran wrap etc. The food is very good but make sure you go before the heli ski groups as they get priority and you may be waiting for your food. The pools aand change room are clean. The spa is quaint and relaxing.
We love it there. A great place to recharge the batteries.

What a great stay! Relaxing, quiet, just what we needed in these crazy times - wonderful to get away. Resort was not too busy and the hot pools were very nice.
We staying in a one bedroom Chalet, perfect for our needs. We were able to cook and use the BBQ. Had everything we needed to prepare our meals. Small fridge, stove / oven, microwave, 2 coffee makers, toaster - just show up with your food and you are good to go.
Must give a BIG shoutout to Josh who checked us in. He was so friendly, personable and knowledgable. From the Covid friendly check in to getting our keys, just super helpful. Thank you to him for a great experience.

We stayed in one of the Point Cottages (Granby). It had a small sitting room and kitchen, bedroom with a queen bed, very small bedroom with bunk beds and bathroom with shower. The cottage had good wi-fi and a tv and a well stocked kitchen. There were both ceiling fans and air conditioning. Everything was very clean and comfortable. There was a barbecue and a picnic table with a view of the lake through the trees (no view from inside the cabin).
We enjoyed barbecuing dinner one night and went to the restaurant (Alcedo) the other night. The restaurant is very expensive so we almost didn't go, but we were so glad we did! I had the best mushroom risotto of my life (with delicious scallops) and my husband had fall off the bone lamb shank. The view is spectacular and the service was excellent.
The pools are very nice and were not crowded when we went. While the pools are open to the public from 11 - 5, people staying there have access starting at 9 am until 9 pm, which is great. Adults only from 8 pm to 9 pm is a bonus. Beautiful view from the pools.
The grounds are very nice with a nice pathway that goes through the trees above the lake. There is no real "beach" for the lake, but there is a dock so you can access the lake. There are lots of nice sitting areas where you can sit and enjoy the view.
I had a 75 minute massage with Andrea at the little spa (really just a nice cabin) and it was excellent. I wish I had time to take one of her yoga classes! All staff at the Halcyon were friendly and helpful.
If you're looking to relax and treat yourself, I highly recommend the Halcyon.
