Your Peaceful Mayne Island Getaway
A relaxing 45-minute ferry ride from either Vancouver or Victoria will take you to a place where you can break from your hectic routine: Blue Vista Resort! This charming resort is nestled beside the pristine waters of the Salish Sea on Mayne Island. This family-run resort has provided year-round visitors a refuge from the busy world. The Blue Vista Resort offers nine comfortable self-contained studios, one and two bedroom cottages, all of them in a beautiful park-like setting. Enjoy amenities like full kitchen, deck, and wireless internet. On your next Blue Vista vacation, you can bring the entire family with because some of the cottages are pet-friendly. Take a break from the chaos and indulge in a cup of wine by the fireplace or simply listen to the sound of serenity at the oceanview front deck.
Within walking distance from Blue Vista Resort, you will find beach access. Pack up the family and enjoy water activities like kayaking, boating, swimming, and more. Unwind on the quiet shores of Mayne Island and build a sandcastle with the kids or work on your tan. This is the perfect southern maritime getaway!
For ecological learning, Blue Vista Resort invites you to sign the kids up for environmental and creativity programs. They are offered on Mayne by the GICEL. After a day of learning and outdoor adventuring, join The Bennett Bay Bistro for dinner time. Their unique oceanview dining spot is something you can't miss. Delight in classic salads, pasta, and local seafood--the housemade tuna cakes are a specialty.
Located just 13 minutes driving from Blue Vista Resort, Mount Parke is the highest peak on the island. It's 837-feet high, boasts spectacular vistas, forest walks, bird watching and spring wildflowers. You can also find an easy forest loop near Mount Parke Regional Park. And for those more adventurous, a more difficult trail up to the Halliday Lookout awaits.
Blue Vista Resort is affiliated with Mayne Inter-island Sea Tours (MIST) to provide scenic marine-tours and fishing charters. Your next fishing adventure will include a fast, comfy, and quiet 26' Commander power boat. For prime fishing grounds, you will be taken offshore at the north end of Galiano Island in Porlier Pass.
Blue Vista Resort features nine charming cottages that offer views of the ocean and are minutes away from Bennett Bay. Their cottages are ideally equipped with amenities such as bathroom with shower, full kitchen with microwave, cable television, wireless internet, and deck. Some cottages are even pet-friendly!
Mayne Island is the second smallest island in BC's southern Gulf Islands. Cycling is a leading attraction thanks to Mayne's looping road system and relatively minimal auto traffic. Blue Vista Resort encourages you to take a tour on a day-long circumnavigation of the island. Enjoy breathtaking views of century-old farms and forested tracts of land. - All Year
