Serenity by the Sea Retreat

Serenity by the Sea was a magical, alchemical, and transformative experience for myself. I loved being there with my boyfriend and feeling serenity! It's warm lighting at a night arrival, thoughtful house furnishings to make your stay luxuriously homey and dreamy with its lofty balconies in high ceiling rooms, tall forest & ocean views with the sun rising into the "Sunrise Suite." I enjoyed being childish: running a warm bath at midnight, setting up a fire and getting cozy with drinks, taking a stroll around the many gardens, admiring the winding paths, the waterfalls, the jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, and the hospitality of the caretakers! I highly recommend you make Serenity by the Sea your choice for a get away!

I had the best time here. The hosts are wonderful people. They welcomed me into their beautiful home with open arms and went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. They even invited me to dine with them over Juan's delicious home-cooked Ceviche. I had a massage session with Luannah and it was no less than magical. I stayed at Windsail which is a part of the main house. I would sleep under the stars listening to sound of the waves. It was absolute bliss. A perfect place to unwind. Serene in its truest sense. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway.

I went to Serenity by the Sea for a retreat and i loved it. The property is magical with its rough terrains, beautiful view, zen gardens and the ocean right beneath your feet. The room i stayed in was very clean and well taken care of. The breakfast was delicious! Luannah, you are a beautiful human being and have brought a lot of gratitude to my life. The retreat was customized for what i wanted and i enjoyed every second of it. Your massages were world class and everything else you did for me will change things around for me. If you are looking for kindness, love and gratitude, please visit this place and take in all that it has to offer. Be open minded about the amazing possibilities and you will not be disappointed. Thank you, and I look forward to visiting Serenity by the Sea and Luannah again.

I came here in November to unwind after a very busy fall. The breakfasts were amazing, the environment was tranquil - exactly what I needed. I stayed in the Chalet and it was very hard to get out of bed, it was so serene and peaceful. I didn’t get the opportunity to soak in the hot tub, but the view from up there was amazing so might have to go back to experience that. I also got some Hawaiian style treatments from Luannah and felt very mentally organized and balanced after my experience. A solid treat, I totally recommend the experience.

Stunning ? we had a marvellous break away from Vancouver to this isolated beautiful little treasure of a chalet. Our honeymoon was fabulous due to nature, surrounding outdoor trails and minimal contact with computers/technology. So lovely to chill out and reflect after our wedding on August 15, 2021. Thanks so much for a peaceful, relaxing retreat surrounded by a tranquil natural environment.

What a gorgeous location and the communication via text message before arriving was very clear and informative. My questions via text message were answered immediately during our stay. Completing payment for our stay was easily made via e-transfer. The place was so comfortable and peaceful. Everything was available including distilled water in the fridge, a full spice rack on the counter, all utensils that we needed. There were information cards that explained what was expected of guests. It was a very easy place to find, and we felt so taken care of. I want to go back!!!

I had the most amazing experience at Serenity by the Sea with Luannah. The space she has created is truly magical. As soon as I took a step into her healing cottage I knew I was in a place filled with Love. The entire property is enveloped by natural beauty of lush forest and the gentle sound of the creek. It's no wonder it is called SERENITY by the Sea. I had been here many years ago when Shera and her partner owned it. I loved it at that time, the ocean views, the eagles flying overhead and the land always held a special place in my heart. Now that Luannah and her husband Juan have taken it over they have added an additional layer of love and caring. My sessions with Luannah in her cottage were life changing. She is Divinely guided with her gentle, authentic and powerful energy and has extensive training, experience and knowledge with numerous modalities. When I arrived the first day we had an open, meaningful discussion, she listened intently and was guided as we chatted. She has a very special gift of knowing just the right timing and the correct treatment that my body and soul were calling for. I spent 3 days with her and could have stayed for a week. Luannah shared her special gifts of sound healing, Lomi Lomi and deep love of nature, connecting in at all levels. I appreciate the resources she also shared with me from her own teachers. These tools I will use for a lifetime. On my final day, I told her now I know what Heaven is like, I went to the most beautiful, peaceful place during out treatment and she told me, “heaven on earth is a frequency we can tap into anytime, anywhere as it is an eternal omnipresent frequency". I feel very blessed to have spent time with her and am very pleased to say I did embrace Heaven on Earth at Serenity by the Sea. I encourage everyone to experience this truly beautiful place on Galiano Island. I will be back again very soon. Luannah and Juan, thank you for keeping this place so special and sacred. With Love and many Blessings, Lahanni.

We stayed here for our anniversary in December 2019 and it was amazing. We're still talking about how wonderful it was. One of our best anniversaries in 9 years. Luannah and Juan were lovely hosts and they went way out of their way to make our stay perfect. They knew it was our anniversary and that we were staying with them specifically for the hot tub by the sea and when the hot tub had issues that day Luannah spent the whole day running around the island to find someone to fix the tub in time for our visit. The property is breathtaking and the suites are all gorgeous. The suites are uniquely built to suit the land. They are spacious and clean and warm and inviting and calming and relaxing and just wow. Luannah and Juan have worked very hard to restore the natural beauty of the land and it shows. We cannot recommend this space highly enough. We just booked our 9th anniversary getaway in Toronto and even though the spot we're renting here seems great, a part of us is wishing we were at Serenity again.
