Kayaking at Painted Boat Resort Spa & Marina

Painted Boat Resort Spa & Marina

The Sunshine Coast & Desolation Sound, Canada

Located on British Columbia's Sunshine Coast, Painted Boat Resort affords a wonderful position near the pristine islands and waters of Pender Harbour. Traditionally a playground for lovers of the outdoors, the region is today renowned for its summer fairs, marine activities and the September Jazz Festival. Nestled among five acres of Douglas fir, red cedar and arbutus, the 31 waterfront villas offer spectacular water views and large balconies complete with barbecues.

Inspired by the fishing structures along the coastline, Painted Boat Resort has a distinctly 'west coast' look and feel, evoked through the use of exposed timber construction and expansive windows. With an emphasis on comfort, the large two bedroom suites offer fully equipped open kitchens, custom Canadian-made wooden furniture and local artists' prints and ceramics. Whilst there guests can take advantage of the infinity pool, hot tub, fitness center or the beauty spa. For those not wishing to self-cater, there is an excellent restaurant overlooking the marina where you can enjoy a delicious meal and a quiet drink while enjoying the sunset from the waterfront deck.
