The Look of Semiahmoo Resort, Golf & Spa
Nestled along Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbor, on a scenic peninsula that stretches into the Salish Sea, Semiahmoo Resort, Golf & Spa allows families to enjoy everything from golf and spa days to bike rides and excellent dining.
The warm welcome begins outside, where the butter-yellow building pops against the gray beach and evergreen trees. Inside the lobby, cozy seating and roaring fireplaces beckon guests to sit and stay a while.
Each of the 196 guest rooms and suites is a comfortable retreat when the day is done. The rooms are light and bright, thanks to large picture windows or sliding glass doors that lead out onto a covered balcony (only available in certain room categories). Natural woods and a neutral color palette bring a sense of calm to the rooms.
The real star of the resort is the 18-hole golf course designed by Arnold Palmer, but other hotspots include the beach, fire pits, and circles of Adirondack chairs sprinkled around the property. Additionally, there are three on-site restaurants. Seaview Cafe is a favorite, offering great views of the water paired with an all-day menu of everything from breakfast to shareable snacks. If you want to try something local, consider the PNW seafood chowder, which is a mix of oysters, clams, cod, shrimp, and bacon in a creamy soup.
