With awe-inspiring mountainscapes, exciting fine-dining options, and adrenaline-pumping outdoor activities, wintry Whistler is an ideal romantic getaway destination. While Whistler is best known for being one of the top ski resorts in the world, and host of the 2010 Olympics, it offers many delightful options for couples who may or may not wish to hit the ski slopes. 

To help you plan the perfect romantic Whistler rendezvous, our teams at Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside and Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre have distilled a list of the best romantic activities in Whistler. We hope that it will help you to make the best of your Whistler holiday with your loved one.

Start your intimate trip on the right note with the ideal Whistler accommodation. We would like to recommend two for you to consider.

Voted as one of the top five resorts in Canada in Conde Nast Reader’s Choice Awards 2021, Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside provides breathtaking mountain views.

The One Mountain View Bedroom Suites are perfect for couples and overlook the pool and have views of the iconic Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Take in the stunning views from your private balcony, cook a gourmet meal or just cosy up in front of the fireplace. This is the perfect spot to relax after your mountain adventures.

Prefer to take advantage of a complimentary continental breakfast delivered to your suite? Why not book a room at Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre? Our One Bedroom Upper Floor Suite enjoys scenic views of the Whistler Mountain or the valley mountains surrounding the village, all from your private balcony. A cozy living area with a gas fireplace and complimentary continental breakfast delivered daily provides you with utmost comfort during your stay in our hotel.

Now that your accommodation is settled, let us look at what you can do in Whistler with your partner. Whether you and your significant other are adrenaline seekers looking for some alpine thrills, or hoping to take it slow and mellow, here are some recommendations that will make your romantic Whistler getaway special.

Indulge in a lovely mountain top dining experience with a fondue feast at the peak of Blackcomb Mountain. Journey to a charming crystal hut by snowmobile or snowcat, and be greeted by a traditional fondue dinner as you gaze out the window, soaking in the mesmerising alpine views and the illuminated Whistler Village below. 

Fancy a magical and romantic night adventure? Explore the Vallea Lumina multimedia night walk and uncover its hidden wonders, available from November to April for Winter.

Couples who are young—and young at heart—should give Bubly Tube Park a go. Open during the winter season between December and March, you can slide down curving lanes cut into the snowy mountain slopes in giant tubes. Better yet, make it a friendly challenge with your loved one to see who is the king or queen of the powdery slopes. A unique way to bond with each other like no other.

If you prefer a more intimate setting with your significant other, head to your hotel’s heated outdoor pool for a refreshing dip, with the splendour of the majestic mountains as your backdrop. If you stay at Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside, you can enjoy the eucalyptus steam room, while those at Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre can sweat it out in the sauna or go for a deep massage at the Whistler Day Spa. 

For a truly Nordic experience, indulge in a relaxing spa session at the Scandinave Spa, where you are cocooned in fresh spruce and cedar forest on the edge of the Lost Lake and Spruce Grove parks.  

As a former Olympic Village, Whistler boasts a variety of dining establishments to thrill any palate. For couples out on a date, a handful of restaurants offer intimate cozy environments that make your meal extra special. 

Start with the Bearfoot Bistro, which is easily one of the best restaurants in Whistler. Dining here is a culinary journey, where you are taken through the colours and tastes of the season, before ending your meal with something sweet. It also offers an extensive wine menu where you can pick the right bubbly to pair with your mains. The Wagyu Beef and Berkshire Pork are two standout dishes to try here. 

For a more relaxed atmosphere, kick back, chill and share the highlights of your day with your significant other at the cosy Raven Room at Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre. The beautiful interior sets the mood for a romantic dining experience. The menu here changes frequently based on the season, as the chef firmly believes in showcasing locally sourced ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. And if you like cocktails, the inventive Raven Room’s bar team constantly crafts innovative cocktails for your enjoyment.

Or step into the warm embrace of Wild Blue, touted as “the most important Whistler Restaurant opening in a decade” by Vancouver Magazine. The fine-dining restaurant serves exquisite Pacific Northwest cuisine using sustainable seafood and local ingredients, accompanied by an extensive cocktail menu and wine selection.
