Fox Harb’r Resort
There’s something inherently calming about Fox Harb’r Resort, a hotel that encourages you to slow down, breathe, and appreciate where you are from the moment you arrive. A world away from big-city bustle, it’s a mix of easygoing luxury and wild coastal character, all at the heart of Nova Scotia’s rugged Northumberland Shore.
Founded by Ron Joyce, the co-creator of Tim Hortons, this sprawling 1,100-acre retreat is equal parts serene escape and exploration hub. Golf may be the main attraction, with a Graham Cooke-designed course that weaves through parkland calm and alongside dramatic oceanfront Atlantic views, but there’s plenty for non-golfers, too. You can kayak along quiet waters, saddle up for a trail ride, or unwind at the Dol-άs Spa complete with a junior Olympic-sized pool.
At fine-dining restaurant Cape Cliff, chefs serve up seafood fresh from Nova Scotia’s waters, alongside just-picked greens from the resort’s own greenhouse—simple ingredients served at their finest. Whether you’re staying in a suite or a private townhouse, the views are unforgettable, and the sense of peace is instant. Add in a private airstrip and marina, and Fox Harb’r is a quiet, thoughtful getaway always ready to impress.
