$219–$279—Galiano Island resort w/breakfast & ocean views

The Southern Gulf Islands feel worlds away, despite being just a short trip from the mainland and the Island. Galiano Inn, surrounded by forest and ocean, offers the perfect escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.

Through mid-July, Travelzoo members can stay for $219 a night (usually $399). And if you prefer to visit later this summer, you'll still save. Late July and August are priced at $279 for us, while everyone else pays about $375.
