A Resort like no other

You’re invited to Roche Harbor, where rich traditions are celebrated year after year by families who crave connection with loved ones. Who want legacy experiences with multiple generations. Who want to live the values they find most important – but need a little space from the stress and pressure of everyday urban life.

First-time guests are drawn by one-of-a-kind experiences on land and sea, breathtaking beauty along the San Juan Island shoreline, and the curiosity of islands connected to the mainland by a ferry, not by a bridge. But people come back because they discover a different way of life. One that’s simpler, and allows you to be more present, especially with those you love most. 

If this is you, you’re in the right place. You found your community – even if only for a few nights

our history

“These islands form an unmatched landscape of contrasts, where forests seem to spring from gray rock and distant, snow-capped peaks provide the backdrop for sandy beaches.”

San Juan Island

Uncommon Natural Beauty

Roche Harbor has all you need to enjoy a long weekend without leaving the property, but the rest of the island is too gorgeous not to explore.

In Washington state, we say “Upper Left is Best.” And the San Juan Islands are as far NW as you can get. It’s not just locals who think our archipelago is exceptionally gorgeous. The area is a designated National Monument and is consistently voted as a Top 5 Island in the Continental US by Travel + Leisure. In 2012, The New York Times rated it the #2 place to visit in the world.

What’s ironic (and enjoyable) about all the incredible press we get up here is that so few people know about it. In fact, we have no stoplights in the islands, because so little traffic comes our way. 

That means more wide open spaces for those who explore this (still) undiscovered gem. More freedom to tramp the trails in two national historic parks. More peace and quiet while picnicking on the West side looking for Orca whales near sunset. 

Come see why travel experts tap the area for their “best of” lists (before everyone else finds out).

Getting Here

The San Juans are true islands, which means no bridges to the mainland. While we see guests visit by boat or plane, most enjoy a stunning ferry ride through the archipelago.
