The holiday season is a time for giving. We spend so much of our lives thinking about others, working to support our loved ones, dedicating time to help friends – but how often do we take a step back to truly focus on ourselves?
What if this year you gave yourself permission to be a little more ‘selfish’ and invest in an experience that allows you to recharge, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of nature?
At Cabana Desolation Eco Resort, an exclusive eco-retreat tucked into the rainforest on an uninhabited island in the heart of Desolation Sound, you’re not just booking a getaway — you’re gifting yourself an escape, a rare chance to truly immerse yourself in the best of coastal British Columbia
Need more convincing? Here are three great reasons to treat yourself (or a loved one) with a summer package at Cabana Desolation under the tree this holiday season.
1. Anticipation Is Half the Fun
Think about the joy that fills you every time you think about an upcoming trip, especially one as unique and exclusive as Cabana Desolation.
Anticipation is a powerful mood booster — it gives you something positive to look forward to and can make the winter months feel brighter and more bearable. Studies even show that the period of looking forward to an event can bring as much happiness as the experience itself!
For many people, the winter months bring an annual struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Shorter days, longer nights, and less sunlight can all contribute to the “winter blues,” leaving us feeling lethargic and longing for brighter days.
Now close your eyes and picture yourself sitting on the point at Cabana Desolation Eco Resort, listening to the sound of the gently lapping waves on the shore, surrounded by the fresh lush rainforest, breathing in the clean, crisp ocean air. Think of waking in your comfortable cabana accommodation to the calming sounds of birdsong, the smell of freshly brewed coffee delivered right to your door, the peace that settles into your being when you’re immersed in nature and far from city life.
When you book your stay at Cabana Desolation, you’re not just signing up for a trip — you’re giving yourself the gift of looking forward to it.
2. Consider It a Gift for a Special Someone (You’re Just Along for the Ride!)
Gifting an experience rather than a material object is one of the most meaningful ways to show someone you care. We all have enough ‘stuff’, and at our age one more appliance or momentary distraction is not going to meaningfully improve the quality of our lives.
Memorable gifts are tailored to the passions, interests, and dreams of the person receiving it. For the nature enthusiast, the eco-conscious traveler, or anyone in need of a retreat, a package at Cabana Desolation shows you’ve put real thought into their happiness and well-being.
It is the perfect destination for creating memories with someone special. Whether it’s a partner, a family member, or a close friend, there’s something magical about exploring nature together, sharing impossible sunsets, and disconnecting from daily life.
And since it would be rude to hoard that experience all to yourself – or more accurately, it would be far more special to share the experience with someone you love – you’ll get to be a part of the experience while making it a gift they’ll never forget!
3. Key Summer Dates Fill Up Fast – Don’t Miss Out!
Cabana Desolation Eco Resort is one of British Columbia’s hidden gems, and with capacity for just 10 guests each package, is one of the most intimate and exclusive resort experiences on the BC coast.
Key summer package dates therefore fill in fast. If you’re looking at a particular weekend or waiting until spring to confirm your summer plans, it only takes one small group reservation – the blink of an eye – and your dream vacation plans suddenly become someone else’s dream reality.
By treating yourself early, you’re ensuring that you won’t miss out; the rich and comfortable cabanas, the fresh and delicious meals, the rich green rainforest and clear mountain views, the endless summer sunsets that melt into clear star-filled nights … all will be waiting for you on the other side of the wet and windy winter months in 2025.
Take control of your plans this holiday season and treat yourself (or a loved one) to the ultimate summer getaway!
