2 Best Hotels in Galiano Island, Vancouver Island

Just a block from the ferry and local shops, this inviting waterfront retreat on Sturdies Bay, which has both a nice restaurant and great spa, is an ideal spot for a car-free vacation. A yoga suite overlooking a meditation garden, seaside massages, and a mineral flotation bath are among the serenity-inducing highlights. The one-bedroom suites have full kitchens and covered sea-view balconies with jetted tubs, outdoor fireplaces, and barbecue grills. Rooms have hidden massage tables that fold away out of sight. Complimentary continental breakfast baskets are provided in both. The oceanfront restaurant serves fine locally sourced fare; summer brings alfresco dining and wood-fired pizzas on a Tuscan-style patio. Blackberry vinotherapy massages, wild BC seaweed scrubs, vanilla chai latte couples massages, and blueberry-smoothie wraps are among the Madrona del Mar Spa's innovative treatments. Step into the lobby to see the Kunamokst Mural, made up of nearly 200 individual paintings by local and international artists. Smart cars and ebikes are available on-site for exploring the island. They also some offer pet-friendly rooms. 

Located on 22 acres at the base of Bodega Ridge on the north end of the island, these log cabins and lodge offer a rural escape. The resort maintains its vintage-camp esthetic and is divided into two properties—The Ridge has seven updated log cabins with wood stoves and big cedar decks while The Cove has five restored 1960s Panabode cabins with soaker tubs, modern kitchenettes, wood-burning fireplaces, and cedar decks.
