Being one of the largest resorts operating in the South Okanagan, Watermark rests along the shoreline of Canada's warmest lake in the heart of Canada's premier wine growing region. Often referred to as the "Napa of the North", Osoyoos is nestled in the heart of the south Okanagan, on the border with Washington State, and only 400 km from Vancouver. 85 per cent of Watermark suites provide views overlooking Osoyoos Lake, while the remaining suites enjoy sunset mountain views; all with private balconies.

The entire Watermark resort has been developed to provide a reprieve and atmosphere for almost all getaways. Watermark's modern, open layout and stunning geographic location make it an ideal spot for that romantic weekend away, as well as a venue for larger events such as weddings and family reunions.

To complement this luxury resort experience, Watermark Beach Resort is also "kid-friendly", featuring protected swimming in Osoyoos Lake (safe from boats) and Watermark Kids Zone, a safe outdoor play area for kids to enjoy the Okanagan sun.

Watermark Beach Resort offers something for anyone who appreciates a truly unique getaway and a few of the finer things in life. A culinary partnership with the critically acclaimed Chef Bernard Casavant, who brings his locally-rooted wine country cuisine to the shores of Osoyoos Lake. A member of the BC Restaurant Hall of Fame, Chef Bernards accolades and achievements include his time as Executive Chef at Chateau Whistler Resort. Chef Bernards local approach to culinary creations will be featured throughout the resort, including the wine bar patio and wine country dining room.

Shuttle service is available directly from Kelowna International Airport to Watermark Beach Resort, and takes approximately one hour and 45 minutes.
