Eco-Friendly Resort
Our “green” features are the gold standard on the Gulf Islands.
Only at the Mayne Island Resort and Spa do guests enjoy these distinct facilities and services:
deluxe energy efficient partially earth sheltered waterfront cottages
our own water supply and purification system. Rainwater is gathered in two large on-site cisterns for toilet flushing and irrigation.
our own state of the art sewage treatment plant ensures pristine beaches and bay
low flush toilets and energy saving appliances in our cottages
reclaimed wood plank flooring in the cottages
original wood floors in the 100 year old inn—yes, they’re still here!
drought resistant landscaping
low impact exterior lighting
recycling bins in each cottage
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
many natural materials used in the design and construction of our cottages, such as slate and stone in the spa-like bathrooms
located adjacent to the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. Wander the arbutus-lined trails or explore the sandy beach and tidal pools.
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.
numerous deer wander through, especially in the fall when the apples drop from our ancient apple tree
also numerous majestic bald eagles, blue herons, osprey, seals, sea lions, otters
our aquaflora spa uses nutrient rich products created with ingredients sustainably harvested from the shores and forests of our bio-region
Vacation lightly on our planet. Enjoy a getaway at the Mayne Island Resort and Spa.
With no predators and no hunting the rather large population of deer have become very friendly.
Eagles nest throughout the island and soar above.
