More Ways to Enjoy the Holidays
Hygge (pronounce hoo-ga) ) is found in life’s simple pleasures. It’s a Danish term that refers to feelings of coziness, contentment, and togetherness – especially in the cold winter months. Slow down in the Islands and enjoy these simple pleasures.
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, a homemade cocktail can help to make the season bright. Try these San Juan Islands-inspired recipes, courtesy of the restaurants and resorts on Orcas Island, Lopez Island and San Juan Island. Enjoy!
Visit the towns, hamlets and villages on the three main islands—all decked in holiday lights. Stroll an empty beach, browse in uncrowded shops and indulge in spas, local wines, and delicious cuisine. The San Juans are the perfect winter retreat!
