Welcome to Manna House • ​4-Season Nordic Spa • 5-Star Ensuite Units with Private Gardens, Hot Tubs, and Cold Plunges • Oceanfront Scandinavian Sauna • Medical Grade Infrared Sauna • Massage Therapy Studio • Healthy Gourmet Menu • Cleanse/Detox Food • Personal Retreats

► 5-star Ensuite Oceanview Guest Accommodations • Private Gardens • Hot Tubs & Cold Plunges
The accommodations are nestled in a 2-acre oceanfront oasis for getaways and spa retreats. They are in one of 3 buildings, consisting of 3 triplex-style ocean-view ensuites (350-400 sq. ft. each), for individuals, couples, or groups of up to 6. Surrounded by quiet private gardens, forest, and ocean views, each is designed with simple Zen-inspired décor and international artists’ work. The units provide all you need to make yourself comfortable and cook for yourself, on your schedule. They are private, quiet, intimate, yet spacious and inviting, providing all you need for a nurturing stay in nature.

Thermal Therapy (aka Hydrotherapy) in the Nordic Spa tradition is part of the experience! Enjoy an exclusive thermal therapy circuit in your private garden, all of which are equipped with a Japanese "Ofuro" soaker-hot tub, cold plunge tub, fire pit, and hammock. The ‘hot → cold → relax → repeat’ circuit has numerous positive effects on the mind, body, and spirit.

► Optional Extras • Not Included in the Price

Oceanfront Scandinavian Sauna • Medical Grade Infrared Sauna • Massage Therapy Studio
The infrared sauna is in the same building as the units, for 1-2 person sessions; or head to the private beach where you can spend hours alternating between the Wood-Fired Barrel Sauna, plunging in the ocean or showering, and relaxing by the fire, all while admiring sweeping views across the Lambert Channel to more distant islands, snow-capped mountain ranges, and star-filled night skies.

Massage treatments include Swedish, deep tissue, Jin Shin Jyutsu, Lomi Lomi, Shiatsu, and various other forms of therapeutic massage, customized to your treatment-specific requirements, or simply for wellness and relaxation. To enhance your cellular, digestive, nutritional, and energic rejuvenation, indulge in an in-house session with a local Massage Therapist.

Healthy Gourmet Menu | Vegan • Vegetarian • Fish • GF
Single-portion, fresh-frozen entrees, side dishes, starters, and desserts, all 100% Organic and non-GMO. Locally sourced ingredients are used wherever possible, prepared by our very local Red Seal chef.

This retreat is for those seeking intensive thermal therapy, entitling the retreatant to one of each sauna per day, and guaranteeing a 25% discount on the rent.

Food Detox Retreats | Raw Food • Modified Fasts
Raw/Vegan/Vegetarian Cleanse/Detox Food for your stay or a Personal Retreat is a gift to yourself, or someone you love! ​We provide you with a private, peaceful, beautiful, and structured environment to focus on detoxification at your own pace, through nourishing, anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, plant-based raw and cooked vegan cleansing foods (fresh frozen), smoothie extractions, ​and alkalizing spring water. Guidance in the form of counseling/coaching is available, daily or every other day.
​We offer 2 programs, which are flexible and are customized to your needs and preferences:
​Raw food cleanse/detox is a nutrition plan where you consume nothing but smoothies full of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds for a certain number of days. The purpose of the cleanse is to absorb as many quality nutrients as possible while giving your digestive system a break.
​Modified fasting combines raw food smoothies with cooked organic vegan meals: You do not have to give up solid food, but rather concentrate on certain cleanse foods instead. You can enjoy three to five portions of fruit, vegetables (raw or lightly steamed), and nuts per day, or supplement your meals with a fresh-frozen vegan meal.

Total Detox Retreats
Combined Food Cleanse + Thermal Therapy Retreat, for a complete detox! Whether you're looking to jump-start your healing journey or want to give your body a well-deserved break or a reset, a combined Raw/Vegan Cleanse Food + Thermal Therapy Detox Retreat can be a powerful step towards a healthier and more vibrant life. ​

Each element of Manna House supports and encourages health and wellness, relaxation, and meditation. From the Zen design of the gardens and ensuite rooms to the serene atmosphere, nourishing food and spa facilities, with counseling/coaching available. What better place to get away and recharge, or have a personal or couples retreat? (Adventure sports equipment is available to rent for canoeing, kayaking, and trail biking.)

Eagle View Ensuite - is an architectural gem flooded with natural light in all directions.

Climatically, the Islands on the West Coast of British Columbia have mild weather in all four seasons. We do sometimes get snow, but rain and snow are both your friends at a Nordic Spa! Whether in your private hot tub in your garden or in the oceanfront sauna, it's all part of the experience. Located in an idyllic location on Denman Island, from which you can easily explore the Island or travel to the Comox Valley and Hornby Island or further afield.

So much to do in all seasons:
• Kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, scuba diving and swimming (in the crystal-clear ocean and 2 lakes on Denman Island); hiking and biking trails abound both on Denman and nearby Hornby Island
