Summer may be coming to a close, but the best time of year to travel in B.C. is officially upon us.
While it seems counterintuitive, fall offers the opportunity to experience the province’s most stunning attractions without the summer crowds. There’s also the benefit of gorgeous fall weather, technicolor leaves, and sometimes even reduced offseason rates.
Best of all, you don’t have to go far, to make the most of these conditions.
Located just over 2 hours from Vancouver on the scenic Sunshine Coast, Painted Boat Resort, Spa & Marina offers fall travelers an upscale experience rooted in nature, complete with sweeping water views, fantastic food, contemporary accommodations, and ultra-relaxing spa treatments unlike anything else the coast has to offer.
Situated in the small village of Madeira Park in Pender Harbour, Painted Boat is also just steps away from hiking, paddleboarding, boating, and artists tours, but if you’re like us, you’re probably getting away just to unwind.

Designed to help you relax and experience wellness, while surrounded by nature, the Painted Boat Resort, Spa & Marina, is home to The SPA, which offers face, body, and massage treatments, and the Spa Serenity Garden; a lush, meditative spa garden, complete with cascading waterfall, surrounded by towering ancient conifers.
Spa treatments at Painted Boat Resort utilize products infused with mineral-rich seaweed and salts, harvested straight from the ocean, which are designed to elevate your mood and strengthen your immune system. There’s literally no other spa like it on the Sunshine Coast, so be sure to book your treatment ahead of time.
Rest, relaxation, and… restaurants? Of course, nothing pairs better with spa treatments than fresh food. Reserve a table at Painted Boat’s Lagoon Restaurant and prepare to experience seasonal west coast cuisine, complemented with local ingredients. Menu highlights include Duck Confit Spring Rolls, Local Spot Prawn Linguini and Organic Dark Chocolate Brownie S’mores. Savor your meal while you watch the sun go down—and if you’re arriving by boat, complimentary moorage is available for vessels up to 30ft, perfect for those wanting to ‘dock n’ dine’. Reservations are recommended as spots fill up fast.
