Posted on December 15, 2025

What if your New Year’s goal was to stop trying so hard? Rest doesn’t need to be earned. It is your birthright. There is no better place to relax, be present and exhale than San Juan Island in January. Unwind in our indoor, heated pool and oversized jacuzzi after getting a soothing massage. Meander to a book reading or museum visit, just steps from our Friday Harbor hotel. Take long walks on endless driftwood beaches and observe the abundant Winter wildlife. Be on island time and let your days unfold.
