This was my first time visiting Salt Spring Island, and landing at Lightwater Cove was truly the greatest gift. From the moment I arrived, it felt like a home away from home — warm, peaceful, and deeply restorative. The views of the sea were absolutely breathtaking, the rooms were spacious and beautifully designed, and every detail reflected care and intention. The breakfasts were delicious, the staff incredibly kind and welcoming, and the grounds were immaculate — full of hidden nooks to explore, journal, or simply breathe and be. At night, the stars sparkled brighter than I’ve ever seen, and ending each day in the hot tub and sauna was pure bliss. Lightwater Cove is a place where time slows down and presence deepens. I can’t wait to return — to bring friends and family, and to one day host a retreat here. It’s a space made for expansion, growth, and coming home to yourself.

This place is drop dead gorgeous. From the architecture to the surrounding landscaping and stunning ocean views (with beach access) this place is nothing short of paradise. And the peaceful quiet made it all the more lovely to enjoy. Comfortable bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud, warm and friendly staff. The most relaxing massage, my skin has never felt better. The hottub over looking the ocean, the gorgeous cedar barrel sauna, everything was clearly well thought out in terms of layout, guest experience, and aesthetics. I have never stayed at a more lovely place. Everything was perfect, and the hospitality was the best I have ever had. We came for our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been a more romantic getaway for us. We will be back in a heartbeat!

The resort and the grounds around it are absolutely stunning! The breakfast was also lovely. The rest of the stay was extremely underwhelming. Our room was so small that they could only fit one nightstand in it. This sounds like a small thing but it’s really inconvenient to be comfortable without a nightstand. I was also a bit shocked that the room didn’t include any type of mini fridge, coffee or tea service or TV. The resort is very far from town so not having a fridge makes it very tricky to eat dinner on the property. The oddest thing about the hotel is definitely the amenity situation. They advertise the pool and hot tub but they actually charge $220 per couple to use the amenities- and that’s only for 90 minutes! I have never seen this and I travel very often. The pools were empty the entire time (expect for owners or staff who don’t have to pay to use them) and it just felt really rude. Mind you these rooms cost well over $600 per night plus taxes. We saw one couple try to jump in the hot tub and the male owner went running over scolding them and eventually agreed to let them use it just briefly. They had to really plead to use it and it just doesn’t make any sense to me. We asked if we could use it and post some pictures online and they agreed to waive the fee for Instagram picture. It was all.. just extremly odd. I would consider returning if they ever decided to let guests use the pools . Until then I would rather stay at a competing hotel that actually allows you to use the onsite amenities.

'24 hour espresso bar' per website does not exist. Very limited breakfast menu. Double room with only one armchair to look at the ocean views, bed construction such that you could break your knees getting past it on one side, or whack your head on the other. Not sure this is an actual hotel.

Our two-night stay at Lightwater Cove was delightfully relaxing and a world away from routine and the bustle and stresses of everyday living. As soon as we stepped over the threshold into the warm expansive embrace of the light and space of the interior and gazed out over the cove, ocean, and mountains on the far horizon, there was a feeling of calm and tranquility. Hosts Greg and Monica are ideal hosts, offering gentle guidance and tips for making the most of our stay on magical Saltspring Island. The design of the buildings, spa, yoga space, and extensive landscaped gardens reflects beauty and superb quality throughout. Looking forward to our next stay!
