History of Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa
The Gem of Galiano Island…
 The Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa has been operating as a special place to stay on Galiano Island since the early part of the last century. Standing proudly in its choice waterfront location, it has long been a prominent island landmark - the first place arriving guests and islanders see when they approach by ferry.
In the 1930’s, an English seaman purchased the property, and began inviting guests to stay, operating it as a resort named “Greenways”.
 In the early 1950’s, a fire claimed the old Tudor style building, leaving only the stone verandah and steps still standing. The owners at that time - Margaret and Fred Robson - built a new home on the same site, as well as a fashionable “motor court” that served family and fishing holiday guests for many happy years. The resort enjoyed a reputation as one of the foremost fishing resorts on the West Coast, at a time when the salmon runs were at their peak.
 In 2000, the resort was purchased by new owners who began its transformation into the delightful fusion of form and function that welcomes guests today. A passion for perfection and a commitment to walking softly on the land inspired the design, the architecture, and the physical structure of the buildings. The style and quality of the finishings, the furnishings, and the extensive gardens showcase, at every turn, the attention to excellence that is the hallmark of the resort, its owners, Mel Gibb and Conny Nordin, and its dedicated staff.
 Today the resort property features intimate luxurious facilities, all thoughtfully designed and furnished to refresh, relax and inspire. Guests and visitors from all over the world have remarked on the attention to detail everywhere that, hand-in-hand with the superior customer service provided by the staff, elevates the guest experience from pleasant to extraordinary.
With ten oceanfront suites, an intimate oceanside restaurant, a beautiful full service European style spa, intriguing wine and gift shop, and extensive gardens stretching to the shore of the eternal sea, you may wander to your heart’s ease and delight.
 Rock gardens and waterfalls, ponds and garden plantings to discover: an herb garden for the chef, greenhouses, perennial gardens, even a special spot to meditate or practice yoga.
Here nature reigns supreme, with decks and fences built around tree limbs and trunks to leave them undisturbed.
