Xenia is a beautiful 38-acre Sanctuary in the heart of Bowen Island on the west coast of Canada. Xenia is nestled between two lakes and a short walk to the ocean. Rich in forested trails and giant ferns, it is adjacent to a bird sanctuary and home of ancient fir trees and meadows with grazing horses. This hidden paradise is located just one hour from downtown Vancouver.
