Welcome to Shambhala Heights B&B, a breathtaking 5+ acre hillside home in Nanoose Bay, offering stunning ocean and mountain views that overlook Nanoose Bay and the Georgia Strait. The gorgeous home is a tribute to the elegance of the European Victorian era. We invite you to enjoy a serene and comfortable stay in our private bedroom, complete with an en-suite bathroom. The deck faces Nanoose Bay, offering magnificent views of the surrounding mountains and sea, set against a backdrop of tranquil, natural gardens. The shared kitchen is fully equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, fridge, coffee machine, electric kettle, and all necessary dishware and glassware. At Shambhala Heights, you will experience harmony, peace, and well-being in a truly beautiful setting. The hosts also reside on the property and are always available to assist you during your stay.
Welcome to Shambhala Heights. My family and I are deeply grateful to call the tranquil hills of Nanoose Bay our home. We created this sanctuary as a place where guests can rest, reflect, and reconnect with the quiet rhythms of nature. It brings me great joy to share this peaceful corner with you. I hope to offer not just a place to stay, but a gentle sense of calm and presence—a space where the noise ends, and the soul begins. I enjoy meditation, and I hold a deep passion for yoga, tai chi, and the timeless art of Chinese calligraphy.
Nanoose Bay is a west coast neighborhood surrounded by the Salish Sea. Enjoy exploring the beaches, walking trails and the sea wall accessible from the resort. Nearby you can enjoy dining, shopping, farmers markets, festivals, galleries, museums, live theatre, musical performances, Indigenous cultural experiences, fishing, whale watching, snow skiing, and bungy jumping. The Fairwinds golf course offers an award winning, water front golfing experience and is open year round.
