Highlights

  • Oceanfront setting – Set on Nova Scotia’s Northumberland Shore, Fox Harb’r Resort looks out over calm, sheltered waters, with wide skies, gentle light and a sense of space that immediately encourages guests to slow down.

  • Championship golf – The resort’s celebrated golf course unfolds along the coastline, combining immaculate fairways with sea views, shifting winds and a relaxed pace that suits both serious players and those new to the game.

  • Farm-led dining – Much of what appears on the plate comes from the resort’s own farm or nearby waters, with menus shaped by the seasons and a focus on simple, confident flavours rather than formality.

  • Private marina – The marina offers direct access to the Northumberland Strait, ideal for gentle coastal cruising, kayaking or simply watching boats come and go, adding a quietly maritime feel to daily life at the resort.

  • Spa and wellbeing – A calm, restorative spa invites guests to reset between adventures, with treatments, pools and relaxation spaces designed to mirror the easy rhythm of the surrounding coastline.

  • Refined, low-key atmosphere – Despite its scale and facilities, the resort never feels showy, instead offering privacy, attentive service and a sense of ease that works equally well for couples, families and multigenerational stays.

Giving back

Fox Harb’r Resort weaves sustainability into day-to-day operations, with a strong emphasis on local sourcing and land stewardship.
