Description
Located on the shores of Lake Osoyoos in the South of British Columbia's sun drenched Okanagan Valley, the Watermark Resort offers suite and townhouse accommodation ideal for families wishing to have a luxurious base for exploring this beautiful region.
Although Osoyoos itself is a tiny town with just a handful of shops and restaurants, the location is one of the best for visiting this beautiful region of British Columbia.
Just a stone's throw from some of the Okanagan Valley's foremost boutique vineyards and right on the waters' edge, the Watermark is comfortable enough to be enjoyed as a base for a longer stay.
Families will love the spacious townhouse style villas, set right on the edge of Lake Osoyoos and with a pool and water slide to one side and the beach in front. The lake offers a whole host of exciting activities from sailing to pontoon boating, wake boarding to splashing about in. The lake is one of the warmest in Canada.
Being one of the sunniest and hottest parts of British Columbia, the Okanagan Valley has much to offer beyond the fabulous wineries that line the main road as well as being tucked away in little corners of this picturesque place. Hire a bike and cycle the Golden Mile, take on one of the adrenaline pumping descents or go cross country on a mountain bike. Explore the area by foot, taking in the beautiful vistas and the unusual Spotted Lake, thought to have healing powers in it's 365 rings.
Return to the resort for a relaxing pre-dinner cocktail and informal dinner on the pool patio overlooking the lake. Or bring back your own dinner and take advantage of one of the communal barbecues for an al fresco family feast.
Take some time out from activities to enjoy the pool and water slide or perhaps take a relaxing soak in the hot tub. The spa is a great spot to have those aching muscles soothed away with a relaxing massage or take one of the regular yoga or Pilates classes.
Just 4-hours scenic drive from Vancouver and a little further from the Rocky Mountains, Osoyoos makes for the perfect mid-way relaxation stop in a BC road trip or a destination all on its own.

The resort offers both suite and villa style accommodations.
The 123 studio, one and two bedroom suites are situated in the main resort buildings and each offers light, bright contemporary style accommodations with gourmet kitchens and balconies overlooking the city and mountains, pool or lake area.

Guests in the Beachfront Villas can park right outside the villa.
