There’s a new way to relax in Port Renfrew.
Drift Nordic Sauna opened July 23, promising locals and visitors an escape to the rugged beauty of Vancouver Island’s west coast.
The new facility features a Nordic sauna circuit on the shores of San Juan Harbour. The Sauna is located next to the Pacific Gateway Marina at 17110 Parkinson Rd., owned and operated by Mill Bay Marine Group.
“Drift offers a wellness experience grounded in nature, tranquility and renewal,” Marlese Plater, marketing coordinator of Mill Bay Marine Group, writes in a press release.
“Whether you’re unwinding after a rainforest hike or simply carving space out for yourself, Drift invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect – with nature, your body and your senses.”
The circuit will include: an electric sauna, two cold plunge tubs, an outdoor cold shower and a relaxation area.
“Drift is more than a destination – it’s an invitation to linger. In addition to the sauna experience, we offer accommodations and a beautiful west coast-style event venue right on the ocean,” Plater says.
Drift Sauna will be open Monday to Friday from 3 to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Shared Sauna experience for up to six guests are available for $30 per person while private sauna sessions are available for up to 10 guests for $270 per group.
