Salt Spring is special. Located between Vancouver and Victoria, it is the largest of the Gulf Islands and a rare place of balance that provides all you need without sacrificing its island charm. Home to just over ten thousand people, it has all the facilities of a modern civic center – schools, banks, supermarkets and a hospital.

The island is renowned for its natural beauty and basks in a unique Mediterranean microclimate that offers a very pleasing share of long sunny days with just enough rainfall to help nature bloom.

A favourite of many notable artists from painters and sculptors to writers and actors, Salt Spring is a cultural hub and a natural showcase for the fine arts. The island's distinct culture is both sophisticated and laidback. Self-expression is welcomed and inspiration is easy to find.

Salt Spring is the most visited of the Gulf Islands for good reason. Spas, art galleries, wineries, and restaurants serving local ingredients are waiting to be discovered. Recreational facilities, stunning provincial parks and freshwater lakes encourage adventure. You can kayak on the morning tide or set out on a sunset bike ride, lounge in a village coffee shop enjoying live music or practice yoga on the beach. 

 
The island presents the opportunity for an exceptional lifestyle. It’s no surprise that many who come to visit return to live. It is a perfect place to reconnect with yourself and your passions; a place of exploration, creativity and splendour where the senses are rekindled and the soul is enriched.
