L'Ile-Dorval is an enchanting island oasis that promises peace and privacy just moments away from the energetic pace of Montreal. The tiny island community, one of the smallest municipalities in Canada, transforms into an exclusive summertime retreat, welcoming residents who appreciate both tranquility and tight-knit neighborhood camaraderie. With its relaxed, car-free environment, children and adults alike pedal along tree-shaded paths, soak up sun on sandy beaches, and marvel at the ever-changing vistas over Lake Saint-Louis.
Education for young families is easily accessible in neighboring Dorval, where highly regarded institutions such as Dorval Elementary and École Gentilly offer both English and French programs. Day-to-day conveniences are just a short ferry ride away, with the nearby Dorval Public Library and the year-round activities at Dorval Aquatic and Sports Complex providing educational and recreational opportunities for all ages.
The true allure of L'Ile-Dorval, however, lies in its unique atmosphere—where familiar faces greet each other at communal spaces such as Club Dorval 55+ and where the Dorval Island Club hosts gatherings on lush, lakefront lawns. Residents treasure the sense of escape and tradition, returning year after year to enjoy relaxed summer evenings and water activities while remaining just minutes from the cosmopolitan offerings of Pointe-Claire and Westmount.
