Painted Boat Resort Spa and Marina is a vibrant, coastal chic resort located on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast.

Offering casually elegant and spacious two bedroom/two bath villas - each with a captivatin­g water view from an oversized patio or deck - guests take pleasure year-round from wellness treatments in the spa, to a myriad of local activities including hiking, mountain biking and kayaking right out the front door of the property. Creative, locally sourced cuisine is enjoyed at the waterfront restaurant from early April to late October each year.

Pender Harbour

A funky collective of neighborho­ods including Madeira Park (Painted Boat Resort’s location), Garden Bay, Kleindale, Irvines Landing and Daniel Point to name a few, Pender Harbour is one of the Sunshine Coast’s most sought out destinatio­ns. Showcasing an eclectic array of amenities from artists’ studios and museums, to annual internatio­nal jazz and blues festivals, and outdoor adventure treasured the world over; this area has long been a draw for boaters. At Painted Boat Resort, the knowledgea­ble and often local, Guest Services team loves to help design on shore programs for their guests.

Painted Boat Resort’s Marina

Painted Boat’s fully-protected deepwater marina is safe from the worst storms, with the wharf offering designated moorage slips ranging from 20 to 60 feet for a total of 300 feet of short-term moorage. The perfect place to drop anchor for the day, or better still, an overnight stay for a day or two - just be sure to make reservatio­ns as space is always in demand and subject to availabili­ty.

For guests dining at the restaurant or with an appointmen­t at the spa, day moor-

age is compliment­ary. For guests staying in one of the gorgeous contempora­ry villas, the moorage rate is $1.25 per foot plus GST.

The marina does not provide public services such as washrooms, showers or garbage disposal to its marina visitors, however resort features such as the infinity pool, fitness facility, and Spa Garden are available for an additional daily charge. Marina guests are most welcome to dine at the restaurant, or indulge in services at the spa with reservatio­ns, which are subject to availabili­ty.
