Orcas Island is a horseshoe-shaped piece of paradise, also known as the “gem of the San Juans.” And while you might think it’s an ideal summertime destination, it’s both beautiful and relaxing on a quiet winter weekend as well. And there’s no better place to spend a winter weekend than Doe Bay Resort & Retreat, particularly in the outdoor soaking pools.

Doe Bay Resort & Retreat is located right on the shores on the bay, in the small town of Olga on Orcas Island.
