The Resort

Welcome to Poets Cove Resort & Spa, the Gulf Islands’ premier luxury resort with a full service marina. Tucked away in Bedwell Harbour on Pender Island, British Columbia, we offer a variety of experiences set in the midst of incredible natural beauty.

Stay with us in the summer months and enjoy the water, outdoor activities, music on the patio and the energy of fellow guests having fun. Visit us in the quiet of fall and winter, and relax in front of a fire, curl up with a good book or enjoy a peaceful nature walk. Whenever you're here, we're here, with a warm welcome.


Our $42 million development opened in 2004 with a selection of 46 accommodations - 22 Lodge Rooms, 9 Villas and 15 Cottages. Whether you stay in our Arts & Crafts styled Lodge, our private two or three bedroom Cottages, or in one of our beautiful and spacious two or three bedroom Villas, you will experience the ultimate in comfort, service and attention to detail.

We also offer a full-service 110-slip deep-moorage marina – rated one of the ten best in the Western Hemisphere – and a Canadian point of entry customs office for CanPass users. Our marine centre features the New* Moorings Cafe, a great place to relax with a good latte or cappuccino, Moorings Beer and Wine Store, where you can find a good selection of BC wines, and an activity centre with a heated year-round outdoor pool, hot tub and ocean-view deck.

We serve only the best in fresh, local, West Coast cuisine in our stunning Aurora Restaurant and casual Syrens Bistro – and offer a wealth of indoor and outdoor activities year-round, from exciting kayaking & canoeing adventures to rejuvenating and invigorating spa treatments in our Susurrus Day Spa.

Whether you’re looking for relaxation, exhilaration, or quiet contemplation, we invite you to discover it here, at Poets Cove Resort, Spa and Marina.
