Shangrila Oceanfront Retreat | 4 Ensuite Suites & 360° Views
Welcome to Shangrila Oceanfront Retreat, a peaceful luxury retreat perched high on Oak Bluffs, one of Pender Island's most spectacular viewpoints. Surrounded by 10 private acres and overlooking the Salish Sea, this southwest-facing retreat offers breathtaking panoramic ocean and island views, unforgettable sunsets, abundant wildlife, and the tranquility that makes the Southern Gulf Islands so special.
Guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire private guest floor through its own private entrance. With more than 2,000 square feet of beautifully designed living space, Shangrila is the perfect destination for family gatherings, couples travelling together, celebrations, or anyone seeking a relaxing island escape.
Spacious Luxury Living
Designed for both comfort and connection, Shangrila offers an exceptional balance of shared gathering spaces and private retreats.
At the heart of the home is an impressive 1,000+ square foot living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame spectacular ocean views. Gather around the fireplace, enjoy music from the premium sound system, browse the carefully curated library, choose a favorite vinyl record, or simply relax together while taking in the ever-changing scenery.
The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals effortless, while the spacious dining table comfortably seats eight for memorable breakfasts, family dinners, and celebrations.
Each of the four beautifully appointed bedroom suites offers the same level of comfort and privacy, featuring its own ensuite bathroom, fireplace, Smart TV, and private patio.
Exceptional Outdoor Living
Outdoor living is an essential part of the Shangrila experience.
Expansive wraparound patios surround the entire guest floor, allowing every suite to open directly onto its own outdoor space. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee, reading in the afternoon sunshine, or watching the sky transform at sunset, you'll always find the perfect place to relax.
The outdoor living area includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, premium BBQ, dining area for eight, comfortable loungers, multiple seating areas, and a gazebo—perfect for gathering with family and friends while enjoying the spectacular surroundings.
Nature at Your Doorstep
Nature is never far away at Shangrila.
Watch bald eagles soaring overhead, observe peregrine falcons riding the coastal winds, and enjoy regular visits from deer and many native bird species. During whale season, Oak Bluffs is one of Pender Island's best locations for land-based whale watching, offering the chance to spot orcas or humpback whales passing through the surrounding waters.
As evening falls, breathtaking sunsets give way to remarkably dark skies where countless stars, planets, and the occasional shooting star create an unforgettable nighttime experience.
Whether you're a photographer, birdwatcher, wildlife enthusiast, or simply someone seeking peace and quiet, every day offers something new to discover.
Explore Pender Island
Shangrila is ideally located for exploring everything Pender Island has to offer. Discover scenic hiking trails, beautiful beaches, kayaking, local art galleries, artisan studios, cafés, restaurants, wineries, and farmers' markets before returning to the comfort of your private retreat.
After a day of exploring, gather for dinner on the patio, enjoy a glass of wine as the sun sets over the Salish Sea, or simply relax by the fire and appreciate the peaceful rhythm of island life.
Private & Exclusive Guest Accommodation
Shangrila is an owner-occupied villa. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the entire private guest floor through its own separate entrance.
Your reservation includes exclusive use of all four ensuite bedroom suites, the kitchen, living and dining areas, wraparound patios, outdoor kitchen, BBQ area, gazebo, and all guest outdoor spaces described in this listing.

Myself and my three girlfriends thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was perfect for us, 4 bedrooms, with their own ensuite's. The view from this property is worth 1million, the description on the site is very accurate. The kitchen/dining area/living room are one big room. Well equipped and the hosts are so hospitable, willing to get whatever you may need. Everything is within a short distance, Poet’s Cove, Hope Bay, Magic Lake, the grocery store. Hope to return soon!

The hosts: the best I have ever encountered in guest houses. Hospitable, friendly, generous, kind ... can't use enough words to describe how wonderful they were as hosts.The house and setting: Magical. The house is on a bluff overlooking the Salish Sea. We had planned a sunset picnic but saw no reason to leave. Each bedroom had an ensuite bathroom and there was plenty of room in the kitchen/dining/living room area for our group.The island: we kayaked, hiked, explored, and took a boat trip ... outdoor adventures galore. The island community is amazing and all the locals we met were friendly and great to talk to.Overall: I would do this trip again in a heart beat!
