Sol Spa has established its day spa studio located within a 300sq foot yurt in Davis Bay, Sechelt, British Columbia. The studio is situated just steps away from a beautiful beach known as Davis Bay, at low tide the sandy beach is a favourite for swimming, sandcastles and nature lovers. Along the waterfront esplanande enjoy the captivating views of the Trail Islands, and the best sunsets on the coast! Our professional studio contains an eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary décor, with some Balinese influences. Our atmosphere inside the yurt is one of warmth and security and is suited to individuals seeking relaxed and personalized day spa services.  

The yurt dates back to the time of Genghis Khan in the 13th century. Yurts have been used by generations of nomadic horse herders in Mongolia as portable homes, which can be set up anywhere. Modern yurts use the Mongolian concept, but with the conveniences and technology of the 21st century, including insulation and cover fabrics developed by NASA. The interior hosts log pole pine, dome ceiling, warm slate flooring and a wondering inviting atmosphere.
