Bowen Island is a dreamlike emerald isle set amidst verdant pine forests and shimmering sapphire waters of the Howe Sound in British Columbia, Canada. A nature lover's paradise, it's reached by a 20-minute ferry ride from Vancouver which along the way, showcases some of the prettiest coastal scenery of the Howe Sound.
It's an idyllic retreat destination studded with crystal clear lakes, picture-perfect beaches, coniferous crown forests, and many hiking trails- a place where absolute serenity awaits. 

Our home-away-from-home for the weekend is a sustainable, purpose built retreat center nestled amongst 100 foot tall pine trees on 1.2 acres of pristine forested land that exudes an air of exquisite peace. Throughout the common areas as well as the guest accommodations, a laid-back/modern west-coast vibe prevails, evoking a feeling of ease that allows for a letting go of the cares and stresses of daily life. Because this tiny island paradise is 3.7 miles wide and 7.5 miles long, getting around is seamless. The retreat house is just a couple minutes walk to the beach, a 20 minute walk (or 5 minute drive) to Snug Cove and has access to many forest hiking trails.

Bicycles and a kayak are available for use and hammocks are at your disposal should you wish to nap or read under the trees. Daily yoga practices will be in their beautiful geodesic, heated yoga dome, with a view of nature. This small space allows for greater intimacy and group connection. Their accommodations provide a space for relaxation, without letting go of the comforts of home. ​All guest rooms feature comfy + cozy bedding. Bathrooms are equipped with fluffy towels as well as all natural, eco-friendly body wash, shampoo, conditioner and hand soap. 
There will be lots of free time in between sessions. Hike, swim, cycle, kayak, relax in a hammock, read, nap or treat yourself to an in-room massage. Nectar Yoga also offers tarot card readings and a Finnish Sauna on site.
