You might not be able to travel at the moment, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a little break away from home! Whether you need a little time for yourself to read, disconnect or binge-watch your favourite shows, want to reconnect with your other half on a romantic getaway, or want to create some family memories, Kelowna has some great options to do just that.

Grab your family or partner (or leave them all behind!) and explore a different area of Kelowna and the Central Okanagan, enjoy a rural escape, or experience lakefront living. Treat yourself with a staycation in Kelowna! 

Pamper Yourself

If you're looking to pamper yourself, book a night away at one of Kelowna's resorts or hotels and make the most of hotel living. A little sparkling wine, some room service, and luxury amenities will have you feeling relaxed in no time! 

• Take a break in the stylish hotel rooms or suites with deluxe amenities at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Okanagan Grand Resort.
• Experience a little old-world charm and European mystique at Eldorado Resort.
• Relax at The Royal Kelowna by Bellstar Hotels & Resorts, where all units include a jetted tub in the master bathroom. Need we say more? 
• Take in the surroundings at The Cove Lakeside Resort with their Spring Suite Escape, which includes a luxury suite, a bottle of wine from Quails' Gate, Karat Chocolates, and more. 
• Book at the Hyatt Place Kelowna and indulge in a treatment or two at O'Spa Health & Wellness Centre. 

Create Family Memories

You don't need to go very far to create lifelong memories with your family. Many of the hotels in Kelowna have indoor pools that are open year-round, hot tubs, and family restaurants. Add a couple of outdoor activities, like a visit to Big White Ski Resort or Silverstar Mountain Resort before the snow is gone, and you've got a great staycation on your hands. 

• What kid doesn't love waterslides? Check-in at Comfort Suites or Fairfield Inn & Suites and reserve your time to enjoy the pool, safely. 
• Kick back and relax in the hot tub at the Kanata Kelowna Hotel while the kids play in the pool and the two waterslides.
• Book the entire spacious Quail's Inn and enjoy five private acres of endless fun for families, including easy access to Mission Creek Regional Park. 

Experience Downtown

If you're looking to change things up and do something a little special, why not book yourself a downtown getaway? Stroll the boardwalk, get cozy with a warm drink in one of the coffee shops, visit some of the great farm-to-table restaurants, or support small local shops. 

• Plan a romantic dinner, then stay in the heart of downtown at Royal Anne Hotel. 
• Enjoy a seafood feast at the Prestige Beach House with the "Local Now. Travel Later." promotion that gives you $50 dining credit to use at West Coast Grill.  
• Put a little colour and fun in your life and get funky at Hotel Zed. Local rebels get 20% off.

This year, things are looking a little different due to COVID-19, you may have to book yourself in the pools and hot tubs, restaurant hours may vary, and check-in processes have changed in many cases. Please make sure to read each property's COVID-19 measures and speak to them directly if you have any questions to avoid disappointments, and remember to explore Kelowna safely.
