3 things that make Victoria’s award-winning boutique hotel perfect for a mid-week escape
A nearby getaway that’s as peaceful as it is picturesque? Vancouver Island’s Victoria is always a good idea. And if you’re craving a quieter vibe, a mid-week getaway is where the real magic happens.
If you’re looking for the perfect spot to unwind, we know a place. Tucked along the shores of Victoria’s Oak Bay, the award-winning Oak Bay Beach Hotel is a real gem that retains its old-world charm while offering contemporary style. We’re talking soothing spa days, oceanfront views, delicious food, and cloud-like beds you’ll never want to leave.
To sweeten the deal, they’re currently offering an Early Summer Package with 25% off select room types. The package includes one night in one of their beautifully appointed guest rooms, exclusive access to the heated seaside mineral pools and sauna, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Just book and stay between June 1 and June 26.
Because let’s be honest — who wouldn’t want to turn a random Tuesday into a mini wellness retreat? Here are a few reasons to make this your go-to mid-week escape.
Unmatched oceanfront location
The hotel’s oceanfront location delivers jaw-dropping views of the Salish Sea.
It’s also just steps from Oak Bay Village — home to charming boutiques, cozy cafés, and local galleries — perfect for a slow, scenic wander.
Luxe spa with a stargazing sauna
The hotel is home to Victoria’s only oceanfront spa, The Boathouse Spa, and it’s the heart of the hotel’s wellness experience. Offering a range of holistic treatments, guests can unwind in the heated seaside mineral pool, hot tubs, or just breathe in the sea air from the comfort of the licensed pool deck.
The spa’s most unique feature is its stargazing sauna — which is exactly what it sounds like, a sauna where you can feel the heat and watch the stars! This new custom-built addition to the hotel invites guests to unwind and gaze at the beauty of the Pacific Northwest skies.
Crafted by WildWood Saunas and positioned poolside for maximum impact, the cedar sauna accommodates up to 10 guests and offers sweeping 180-degree views of the Salish Sea, as well as a striking glass ceiling, ideal for watching clouds drift by during the day or tracing constellations across the night sky. Does it get more relaxing than that?!
This summer, the experience will expand with two new cold plunge pools, allowing guests to complete a full hydrotherapy circuit that invigorates the body, restores balance, and deepens the connection to the sea, air, and coastal surroundings.
A culinary experience
Foodies, rejoice, you’re in good hands! The hotel boasts diverse dining options. Between the wood-fired pizzas at FARO and cozy comfort food at The Snug Pub, it really delivers on flavour and convenience.
Both spots showcase seasonal ingredients and local fare, making every bite a celebration of Vancouver Island’s local culinary scene.
