Sustainable Sips: Our Filtered Water Initiative and Plastic-Free Promise

Staying hydrated on vacation shouldn’t mean stocking up on single-use bottles. At Sandy Beach Suites in the heart of Osoyoos, our filtered water initiative and plastic-free promise for drinking water make it easy to sip sustainably on our stunning private beach and throughout our large smoke-free property. Here’s how we’re helping you enjoy great-tasting water while reducing waste—without compromising comfort or convenience.

What Our Filtered Water Initiative Means

Our filtered water initiative is a simple, guest-first commitment: provide on-site filtered water so you can confidently refill and refresh all day, every day.

Great-tasting, easy hydration

• Filtered water is available for guest use, so you can enjoy clean, crisp hydration between lake dips, court time, and town strolls.
• With fully equipped kitchens in our suites, it’s easy to chill water in the fridge, fill pitchers for family meals, and keep reusable bottles topped up.

Designed to cut single-use plastic bottles

• By making refills easy, we help you avoid single-use plastic water bottles during your stay.
• Whether you’re lounging on our large private beach or heading out for the day, sustainable sipping becomes second nature.

Our Plastic-Free Promise (for Drinking Water)

Our plastic-free promise focuses on drinking water. We’re committed to helping guests go plastic-free with their hydration by offering filtered water and encouraging reusables.

What this looks like in practice:

• Bring a reusable water bottle and refill it on site.
• Use in-suite glasses, pitchers, and refrigerators to keep everyone hydrated and happy.
• Pack refills for beach days, pickleball matches, and lake adventures.

Why It Fits Our Smoke-Free Philosophy

Sandy Beach Suites is a large Smoke Free property that extends from our sandy beach to the sports court. Fresh air, clear views, and a relaxed environment are core to who we are. Reducing plastic waste through filtered water complements that philosophy—clean air, clean water, and a cleaner footprint all belong on the same shoreline.

Enjoy More, Waste Less: Beach Days and Lake Life

Our lakefront setting makes it easy to bring your bottle and keep moving:

• Private beach moments with refills at the ready
• Paddle boards, a double kayak, and canoes available for free use by guests
• Friendly games on the sports court, plus volleyball and Pickleball courts
• Family time at the playground and relaxed meals at the BBQ gazebo

Tip: Fill up before you head out. With a bottle in hand, you can explore Osoyoos, wander local vineyards and orchards, and return to your suite without adding plastic to the day.

Staying plastic-free with your water is even easier thanks to thoughtful in-suite amenities:
