Rosario Resort
A luxurious piece of history on Orcas Island
DIRECT SEAPLANE FLIGHTS FROM SEATTLE TO ROSARIO RESORT
This slice of old-world elegance is literally a piece of history: Rosario Resort & Spa is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mission-style mansion dates back to 1909, created by shipbuilder Robert Moran as a retreat amid incredible natural beauty. A place to relax, recover and recharge. Just don’t call it rustic, as it’s updated to include every modern convenience.
The resort is known for the craftsmanship of its construction and a full array of amenities from the full-service spa to the waterfront restaurant and fireside cocktail lounge. The Aeolian organ, which is composed of 1,972 pipes, is housed in a special music room. Located along Cascade Bay, this is one of the more special destinations served by Kenmore Air.

FLOATPLANE
Seasonal service, April to October, flying from either Kenmore Air Harbor or Lake Union, arriving at the pier aboard one of Kenmore Air’s six-seat de Havilland Beavers or eight-seat Otters. If you’re seeking something more intimate, the Cessna 180 is a two to three passenger float plane that is the most economical charter flight option. Sorry, no complimentary baggage storage on-site.
LAND PLANE
Arrive at Eastsound Airport, a short drive from the resort, as Kenmore Air Express provides year-round service to Orcas Island with its fleet of Cessna 208 Caravans and Grand Caravans, which accommodate eight to nine passengers. Paid parking is available by day or week, complimentary on-site bag storage is available.
ACCOMMODATIONS
There are more than 100 rooms and suites on the 30 acres of Rosario Resort with guests able to choose from views of the harbor or the bay or — if preferred — a hillside room located a 15-minute walk up from the mansion, looking down on Cascade Bay.
ACTIVITIES
There are two outdoor pools on the property, a full-service spa and every opportunity to buoy your spirits. From whale watching and kayaking to charter fishing, bike and moped rentals and more, check out a full list of activities and things to do at Rosario Resort!
