Travel Junkies!

The beach is in our DNA. We're a family of adventure travelers, nature lovers & outdoor enthusiasts. Our flagship product, the Suniela cabana, was invented on Canada's wild east coast, in Hubbards, Nova Scotia.

Mixing style with function - our outdoor gear is made to last! We've spent years refining our products & we regularly travel the world testing them in real-world outdoor conditions.

Our 100% Cotton canopies offer UPF 50+ sun protection - naturally - without any chemical treatments. Cotton is natural & breathable, providing a safe space that's cool and comfortable all day long.

At Suniela Beach, we believe natural is always better!

Often imitated - never duplicated

Committed to making Original & Smart products

Our shade cabanas are shaking up the industry! Our original sun shelter models were invented way back in 1992, by two beach-loving sisters who were tired of struggling with the parasol. Fast-forward 20+ years and the next generation has brought the product back to market!

Our unique cabana designs are patented internationally.

Occasionally we find imitations, made with cheap materials & often using our own photos & reviews to sell their counterfeit product. Genuine Suniela sun shelters have our branding everywhere, from our logo etched on the poles to sewn-in labels & patches. Only genuine Suniela products can be assured of our Quality Guarantee.

Entrepreneurship on the sand!

We started from the ground up - buying fabric from our local stores, sewing canopies at home, and selling them right on the sand of our local beaches.

Suniela Beach has been a labour of love, sweat, & sometimes tears😅 Every time you purchase from us, we really do a happy dance!

MADE WITH THE PLANET IN MIND

We believe that Natural is always Better!

We've spent years refining our supply chain.

From working with female artisans in Indonesia, small family-run textile factories in India, graphic artists from Canada, Brazil & Europe, to our latest production partners in Shanghai - we pride ourselves on ethical production practices and using thoughtfully sourced materials.

We're continually working to improve our processes, from production to shipping materials, to leave the smallest footprint possible.
