Bowen Island Lodge

A short ferry ride can change everything. By the time guests step onto Bowen Island, the city already feels far away.

Bowen Island Lodge sits steps from the Pacific Ocean and close to Snug Cove, with Howe Sound and the coastal mountains as its backdrop. The island is a 20-minute ferry from Horseshoe Bay, and guests can also arrive by water taxi.

The lodge is in a quiet residential neighbourhood and is suited to small, intimate weddings. With a wedding booking, the couple and their guests have exclusive use of the lodge.

The venue can host gatherings of up to 150 people, and its catering focuses on fresh, seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, with custom menus available.

Guest rooms mean friends and family can stay together on site, and the lodge primarily serves group bookings, so the celebration can feel like a shared getaway.

There is a wood-burning stone fireplace to gather around, cedars overlooking the shoreline, and kayaks and mountain bikes for guests who want to explore. The village of Snug Cove and its shops are close by.

For couples who want a West Coast wedding by the sea, with the whole lodge to themselves and loved ones staying close, Bowen Island Lodge offers an island escape that begins the moment the ferry leaves the dock.
