Orcas Island is a horseshoe-shaped piece of paradise, also known as the “gem of the San Juans.” And while you might think it’s an ideal summertime destination, it’s both beautiful and relaxing on a quiet winter weekend as well. And there’s no better place to spend a winter weekend than Doe Bay Resort & Retreat, particularly in the outdoor soaking pools.
Doe Bay Resort & Retreat is located right on the shores on the bay, in the small town of Olga on Orcas Island.
This year-round destination blends rustic amenities with a luxurious spa, topped off with some incredible views.
While Doe Bay typically has several options for accommodations, in the winter, it's the Deluxe Cabins and Group Cabins (Harbor House and Retreat House) that are available to rent.
The cost for the private spa rental is $200 for a 2-hour session, which isn't bad considering your group of up to eight will have the area to yourselves. The spa at Doe Bay also offers massages, although you'll have to book with your therapist in advance.
Come see why so many people claim that a stay at Doe Bay changed their lives.
