The accommodations are nestled in a 2-acre oceanfront oasis for getaways and spa retreats.

Surrounded by quiet private gardens, forest, and ocean views, each is designed with simple Zen-inspired décor and international artists’ work. The units provide all you need to make yourself comfortable and cook for yourself, on your schedule. They are private, quiet, intimate, yet spacious and inviting, providing all you need for a nurturing stay in nature.
Thermal Therapy (aka Hydrotherapy) in the Nordic Spa tradition is part of the experience! Enjoy an exclusive thermal therapy circuit in your private garden, all are equipped with a Japanese "Ofuro" soaker-hot tub, cold plunge tub, fire pit, and hammock. The ‘hot → cold → relax → repeat’ circuit has numerous positive effects on the mind, body, and spirit.
► NORDIC SPA | Oceanfront Scandinavian Sauna • Infrared Sauna • Massage Therapy Studio
The medical grade infrared sauna is in the same building as the units for 1-2 person sessions. Alternatively, head to the private beach, where you can spend hours alternating between the Wood-Fired Barrel Sauna, plunging in the ocean or showering, and relaxing by the fire. All while admiring sweeping views across the Lambert Channel to more distant islands, snow-capped mountain ranges, and star-filled night skies.
MASSAGE TREATMENTS include Swedish, deep tissue, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Lomi Lomi, Shiatsu, and various other forms of therapeutic massage, customized to your treatment-specific requirements, or simply for wellness and relaxation. To enhance your cellular, digestive, nutritional, and energic rejuvenation, indulge in an in-house session with a local Massage Therapist.

Each element of Manna House supports and encourages health and wellness, relaxation, and meditation. From the Zen design of the gardens and ensuite rooms to the serene atmosphere, nourishing food and spa facilities, with counseling/coaching available. What better place to get away and recharge, or have a personal or couples retreat? (Adventure sports equipment is available to rent for canoeing, kayaking, and trail biking.)
EAGLE VIEW ENSUITE - is an architectural gem flooded with natural light in all directions. East-facing ocean-view windows make watching sunrise and moonrise over neighbouring Hornby Island an absolute delight. This compact second-floor ensuite combines usability with intimacy and comfort. Both a second-floor balcony and ground-level garden with Thermal Spa Therapy experience are part of Eagle View’s private spaces. Includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and sink, with an electric BBQ and fire pit outdoors. Dedicated toaster oven and hot plate in the common area kitchen, accessed from the unit’s back door.
CLIMATE: The Islands on the West Coast of British Columbia have mild weather in all four seasons. We do sometimes get snow, but rain and snow are both your friends at a Nordic Spa! Whether in your private hot tub in your garden or in the oceanfront sauna, it's all part of the experience. Located in an idyllic location on Denman Island, from which you can easily explore the Island or travel to the Comox Valley and Hornby Island or further afield.
So much to do in all seasons:
• Kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, scuba diving and swimming (in the crystal-clear ocean and 2 lakes on Denman Island); hiking and biking trails abound both on Denman and nearby Hornby Island
• The spring and fall wildlife migrations for wildlife photographers, the "herring run" in March, and all year round for whale watchers and nature enthusiasts.
• Ski lovers flock to the area in winter for visits to Mount Washington Ski Resort, a one-hour drive from Buckley Bay Ferry Terminal
