Leave the stress and hurried pace of everyday life behind. The Retreat motel on Texada Island offers a perfect getaway spot to relax and unwind. Whether you need family vacation rental accommodation for a summer holiday or a quiet romantic weekend getaway, the retreat has Texada accommodations to suit your needs. 

Perched above the beach on one hectare of sloping oceanfront property, our Texada Island accommodations overlook Georgia Strait and the Beaufort Mountain Range on nearby Vancouver Island. The cedar decks adjoining each of our rooms and suites offer a great spot to relax and enjoy the cooling ocean breezes and the spectacular sunset views. 

Whatever your favourite activities - golfing, fishing, birding, sailing, kayaking, hiking, biking, swimming, diving and more- it's all within easy reach. Texada Island abounds with many species of wildlife. A burgeoning deer population makes for frequent deer sightings along the roadside and for a popular destination for both wildlife viewing and seasonal deer hunting .

Texada, the largest island in Georgia Strait, is located between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland, a short ferry ride from Powell River, on BC 's famed Sunshine Coast.

Texada Island's location makes it the perfect getaway from the common tourist track. A thirty-five minute ferry ride from Powell River, Texada Island is one of the most accessable places on BC's south coast that can still boast the character that comes with being off the beaten track.

From Texada Island Retreat Motel it's an easy stroll down the beach to Shelter Point Park where there are boat launching facilities, picnic sites and a concession with covered seating serving a full menu. A groomed Nature Trail features many ancient fir trees.

The nearby village of Gillies Bay offers facilities including a restaurant - the Tree Frog Bistro - and a grocery store.
