Situated on Vancouver Island’s magnificently rugged west coast, the contemporary Wickaninnish Inn is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on three sides and backed by lush rainforest.
The ‘Wick Inn’ features two main buildings, ‘At-the-Pointe’ and ‘On-the-Beach,’ offering direct access to Chesterman Beach and nearby rainforest hiking trails. All 75 deluxe rooms and suites, as well as the public spaces, provide stunning ocean views – perfect for taking in breathtaking sunsets or dramatic winter storms. Each room boasts a fireplace, soaker tub and private bar, with complimentary binoculars and rain gear for your outdoor adventures.
The Ancient Cedars Spa provides an alternative to beach walks and wildlife excursions; here you can relax and rejuvenate, just a stone’s throw from the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Other facilities at The Wickaninnish include the Lookout Library, fitness centre and complimentary bike hire (seasonal). Henry Nolla’s Carving Shed offers the chance to watch wood carvers at work, carrying on the traditions of local artisanship.
Start your evening with a pre-dinner cocktail at the On the Rocks Bar before tasting the very best of Pacific Northwest cuisine at The Pointe Restaurant, renowned for its panoramic views as much as for its menu. For a more casual dinner, light breakfast or afternoon snack, head down to the Driftwood Café – the smell of freshly baked bread is hard to resist!
The Inn is a a Relais & Châteaux property and holds a place in Condé Nast Traveler’s Platinum Circle, and Travel + Leisure’s Hall of Fame for consistently placing among the top resorts in Canada in their respective reader’s choice awards for over 10 consecutive years.
