My top pick for accommodation is the Prestige Harbourfront Resort on Salmon Arm's waterfront. Many of the upscale rooms have lake views, with a few offering incredible private balconies. Expect clean lines, modern furnishings and thoughtful touches, like separate tubs and showers in the bathrooms.

The Prestige is an easy five minute walk from downtown Salmon Arm. Guests can take advantage of complimentary e-bike, SUP and kayak rentals. On the first floor, there is a day spa, a large well-equipped gym and an indoor/outdoor pool with open-air hot tub.
