Local Beauty Care
The convenience of Colonial Harbor's on-site beauty salon and barber means all you have to do is walk in to get your hair and nails done. Of course, appointments are available.
While there are plenty of salons and spas in the area, residents can stay right at home to enjoy a weekly, free massage. A local company comes to Colonial Harbor and can also be booked for longer sessions for a fee.

Colonial Harbor residents enjoy a variety of health and fitness activities, from weekly group exercise classes to anytime access to on-site fitness equipment.
Nutritious Dining for Seniors
Enjoy restaurant-style dining served with courtesy and caring by our staff who know you. Chef-prepared meals are served every day in Colonial Harbor's dining room. Sit with friends or invite your family for a special occasion in our private dining room. Each meal is designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of community members.
Local Area Activities
There’s so much to explore in the Yorktown area and Colonial Harbor makes sure that residents experience as much as possible. Regular outings to favorite restaurants, local events, and more introduce residents to all their neighborhood has to offer and connect them to the surrounding community.
Take a weekly Wednesday trip to enjoy things like a whale watching tour out of Virginia Beach or a visit to a historic area. The Yorktown community also comes to Colonial Harbor, with regular visits from the local Coast Guard station to play pool, work on learning new technologies or just to chat.
Social Activities for Seniors
Colonial Harbor's comprehensive calendar is packed with both recurring activities and special events. The variety of available activities is meant to enrich the whole person by stimulating physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social or vocational wellness.
At Colonial Harbor, you can enjoy quality time with family and friends at activities and events, over a meal or in the screened gazebo. Never get bored, with weekly musical performances and Friday movie nights.
Pet Friendly
Furry friends are welcomed as residents at Colonial Harbor's. We understand how important the companionship and bond that seniors share with their pets. We’re delighted to have cats, dogs, birds, and even bunnies as part of our community.
Local area Eagle Scouts are currently building a dog park for Colonial Harbor residents. Soon you’ll be able to let your dog off leash, right here at your own residence.
Community Technology
Colonial Harbor is equipped with WiFi access to help you stay connected throughout common areas. You can use a community desktop computer to stay up to date or connect your personal devices to the WiFi.
Technology Tuesdays include a weekly visit from a local resident and computer expert. You can ask questions and get help with smartphones, computers, tablets and anything else technology-related.
Independent Senior Travel
The exclusive Travel & Stay program offers residents exciting opportunities to travel around the country, with free stays of up to seven days at any of Holiday Retirement’s more than 260 communities. Three chef-prepared meals are included with each trip. Visit all 43 states or just choose a favorite new location or two.
Volunteer Opportunities
We have empowered residents to become resident ambassadors. These individuals have often lived in the community for quite some time and enjoy helping new residents get acclimated to senior living. They encourage new residents to take their time settling in and them feel comfortable in their new home.
