Spend Your Morning in Alma on Abbott With Coffee, Lakefront Strolls, and a Slow Start (If You Want It)

Mornings at Alma on Abbott can go one of two ways: slow and leisurely or active and invigorating. The choice is yours based on your lifestyle!

Maybe you start your day with a lakeside walk through Pandosy Waterfront Park, watching the sunrise reflect off the water. Or perhaps you grab your paddleboard (conveniently stored in your home’s extra storage space) and glide across the glassy lake before the world fully wakes up. Better yet, you might keep things simple by doing a quick workout in your community’son-site fitness studio. 

After your activity of choice, coffee is of course a non-negotiable.Lucky for you, there isn’t far to go if you don’t want to brew your own at home. Pandosy Village is just a short stroll away, where you can pick up a perfectly brewed latte from a local café like Bean Scene Coffee Works or Half Blind Bean.

And if you need an extra morning treat, a quick stop at the iconic The Marmalade Cat Café will do the trick! Our team highly recommends one of their fresh pastries as the perfect way to get the day going.

Golden Hour on Okanagan Lake 

As the sun starts to dip behind the mountains, the lake takes on that golden-hour glow, and you realize why living here feels a little surreal. It’s truly like something out of a book or movie that feels a little too good to be true – soak in the moment, and reflect on the beauty of our region. 

After a hard day’s work, your evening can be as bustling or relaxing as you prefer. If you’re feeling social, a quick walk lands you at a trendy wine bar or you could even catch an event at one of Kelowna’s many cultural venues.

If you prefer a cozy night at home, your thoughtfully designed living space – complete with modern finishes and an open-concept layout – makes for the perfect setting.

Pour yourself a glass of local Okanagan wine, step out onto your balcony, and enjoy the serenity of the lake while the sun goes down. From the city, mountain, and streetscape views all the way out to the sparkling lake, every angle offers a postcard-worthy view. 

Or if you want to feel like you’re spending an evening out, you can take advantage of the property amenities like the outdoor kitchen and dining areas that elevate your at-home cooking experience while still being able to enjoy the comfort of your own home!
