Inverary Resort on Baddeck Bay

Set on Baddeck Bay in the heart of Cape Breton Island, Inverary Resort is a full-service, year-round resort where the warmth of Cape Breton hospitality meets the beauty of the Bras d’Or Lake. Located in the Village of Baddeck, at the beginning and end of the world-famous Cabot Trail, Inverary is perfectly placed for travellers looking to explore, gather, celebrate, or simply slow down by the water.

The resort offers a wide range of accommodations, from comfortable guest rooms to cottages and suites, with options suited to couples, families, groups, conferences, weddings, and longer coastal getaways. Whether guests are arriving for a summer vacation, a golf escape, a winter weekend, or a special event, Inverary offers the ease of staying in one welcoming place with so much close at hand.

Dining is central to the experience. Guests can enjoy refined lakeside dining, fresh Cape Breton seafood, curated wines and local flavours at the Lakeside Restaurant, or settle into the relaxed comfort of The Narrows Café & Pub, located just off the main lobby. In season, outdoor dining, live music, patio gatherings, and evenings by the bonfire bring the resort to life with the rhythm and spirit of Cape Breton.

Onsite amenities include a spa, indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, fitness facilities, conference and event spaces, waterfront lawns, and the Adventure Centre — one of Cape Breton’s largest centres for watercraft and activity rentals, with kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, bicycles, and pontoon boat rentals available in season.

Inverary is also a natural home base for exploring Baddeck, the Cabot Trail, Bell Bay Golf Club, local music, cultural experiences, scenic drives, hiking, sailing, and the stories that shape this part of the island.

More than a resort, Inverary is a gathering place — where lake, land, music, food, and salt-of-the-earth hospitality come together in a way that feels unmistakably Cape Breton.
