Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, British Columbia
Follow the call of the wild toward Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, nestled in Clayoquot Sound, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Surrounded by an ancient temperate rainforest, towering mountains and the wild Pacific Ocean, you’ll find yourself immersed within natural wonders. Accessible only by seaplane, boat, or helicopter, the lodge offers an unparalleled sense of seclusion and exclusivity within a UNESCO-protected area renowned for its ecological diversity.
The beauty of Vancouver Island's rainforests lies at the doorstep of your luxurious canvas tent. Your immersion into the surrounding wilderness does not come at the cost of comfort — with its heated floors and private bathrooms, your tent is as cosy as it is secluded. Each morning, take in the sounds of the rainforest waking from the comfort of your front veranda, warmed by your crackling cast-iron stove.
Wild Luxury
Beyond the cosy enclaves of your tent await the Lodge's restaurant, bar and spa. The sounds of the Rainforest meet the Ocean Breeze at Healing Grounds Spa, where natural ingredients from the surrounding land rejuvenate the body and soul. As you enjoy a drink at the Invanhoe, the lodge's bar, keep an eye out for fellow visitors to the lodge — bears, eagles, blue herons, otters, and seals. By evening, take to The Cookhouse, Clayoquout Wilderness Lodge's restaurant, and enjoy s'mores by the fire alongside the sounds of the Pacific Ocean.
