Location
Sanctuary on Salt Spring
An oceanfront farm on Salt Spring Island’s historic south side, Lightwater Cove is a short ferry or floatplane ride from Vancouver, Victoria or Seattle. Southern exposure brings early blossoms, lingering sunsets and nights lush with stars. Here guests enjoy the best of both worlds—a landscape of wild beauty and a rich island culture of organic food, artisanal crafts and outdoor adventure.
