The Sparkling Hill Vision

Sparkling Hill Resort was born from a vision to bring the timeless traditions of European wellness to the heart of British Columbia. Envisioned by Gernot Langes-Swarovski, patriarch of the world-renowned Swarovski family, the resort is a testament to the art of luxury and healing.

At Sparkling Hill Resort, over 3.5 million Swarovski crystals are more than a design choice—they’re the soul of the experience. These iconic crystals, crafted by the Swarovski family, are carefully infused into every corner of the resort, creating an atmosphere that is as luxurious as it is transformative.

From grand chandeliers that cascade light like waterfalls to intricate crystal details woven into walls, fireplaces, and spa spaces, each piece is intentionally placed to elevate the ambiance. Inspired by European wellness traditions, the crystals are believed to amplify light’s restorative and balancing properties. As sunlight dances across them, the crystals refract a kaleidoscope of colors, enveloping every space in a serene, otherworldly glow.

The Swarovski connection runs deep in the resort’s DNA. Gernot Langes-Swarovski envisioned the crystals as more than decoration—they represent transformation, beauty, and renewal, perfectly aligning with the resort’s wellness ethos. Whether it’s the glimmering crystal steam rooms or the delicate accents in your guest room, every sparkle is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with life’s brilliance.

Every room is tailored to enhance your well-being. Custom-built wellness beds adjust to your unique body shape, delivering personalized comfort for a restful sleep. Indulgent two-person soaker tubs, perfectly positioned for sunrise gazing or starlit soaks, elevate relaxation to an art form.
