button a successful purple martin repopulation programme with special nesting boxes positioned at the end of our dock has been very succesful in contributing to bringing these rare birds back to the Gulf Islands

button many natural materials used in the design and construction of our cottages, such as slate and stone in the spa-like bathrooms

button located adjacent to the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. Wander the arbutus-lined trails or explore the sandy beach and tidal pools.

button nestled amidst the natural beauty of the shore and set back among mature firs, cedars, and maples our subtle exterior presence ensures that we’re barely visible from the ocean and the road.

button numerous deer wander through, especially in the fall when the apples drop from our ancient apple tree

button also numerous majestic bald eagles, blue herons, osprey, seals, sea lions, otters

Vacation lightly on our planet.  Enjoy a getaway at the Mayne Island Resort and Spa.
