Doe Bay Resort Orcas Island

Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands of Washington State draws siliceous geothermal water from the island's crystalline basement into intimate wood-decked soaking tubs overlooking Doe Bay — a protected cove of extraordinary marine beauty where harbor seals, bald eagles, and orca whales inhabit the cold clear waters of the Salish Sea surrounding this beloved Pacific Northwest island retreat. The resort, set in a naturally forested cove on the wild east side of Orcas Island, has operated as a community-oriented wellness retreat since the 1960s and maintains a distinctive counter-cultural heritage of simplicity, natural living, and communal spirit that sets it apart from conventional resort development. The extraordinary combination of siliceous spring water soaking, old-growth Pacific rainforest, marine wildlife of the San Juan Islands National Monument, and the cold salt air of the Salish Sea creates a Pacific Northwest wellness experience of remarkable natural integrity and spiritual quietude.
