Holidays in Kelowna

Located on the edge of British Columbia’s Lake Okanagan, the city of Kelowna is a perfect getaway for beach lovers and walking enthusiasts. The city provides the ideal location for water sport lovers and those wishing to exploring unique landscapes. Kelowna holidays also provide visitors with fine dining establishments and resorts with spa amenities.

Planning Kelowna Holidays

The city of Kelowna is situated in the interior of the province of British Columbia, in western Canada. Temperatures rise significantly during the summer months, when holiday-makers can revel in the warm lake water. However, the city is also popular in the winter months due to its proximity to ski resort areas. An international airport that has daily flights to major Canadian and American cities services the city. The city centre is accessible on foot, but many visitors may choose to rent a vehicle in order to explore the surrounding areas for walking, skiing or wine-tasting.

Top Destinations on Kelowna Holidays

Lake Okanagan is, most definitely, the top attraction of the city. From May to September, holiday-makers and locals alike enjoy water sports in the warm water including motor boating, water skiing, swimming and scuba diving. Many resorts and hotels have private beaches, and the city maintains several large public ones as well.

The area around the lake is Canada’s most famous wine region and a day of Kelowna holidays should certainly be spent enjoying tastings and a meal at one or more of the wineries within short drive of the city. During the winter months, enjoy well-groomed cross-country ski paths in the city and, for the more adventurous, some of the best downhill ski runs in the Canadian Rockies, which are located within an hour’s drive of Kelowna.
