If you're looking for an exceptional trip, you're sure to love what follows. So, the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers a nature retreat that combines luxury with outdoor activities. As an unexpected yet integral part of the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort experience, your stay begins with a 45-minute seaplane flight from Vancouver Airport or a 30-minute boat ride from Tofino.

Staying at this one-of-a-kind destination gives you the chance to experience the comfort of a luxury tent, fully equipped with all the furnishings you need. The 20 tents are divided into two categories, and some of them can accommodate a family with children. The Deluxe tents, meanwhile, feature a queen-size bed, a rug, antique furniture, an oil lamp, candles, and more—creating a truly magical atmosphere. Each tent has its own toilet and shower, both located outside.

Two communal tents have been designed for relaxation. The first is dedicated to reading, and the second to games. Beautiful furniture, rugs, and fine fabrics create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The reading room also offers internet access.

The activities available during your stay at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort are virtually endless: hiking, kayaking, bear and wildlife viewing, fishing, horseback riding, rock climbing, and archery are just a few of them.

For meals, Chef Ryan Orr offers creative cuisine with its own distinct identity, highlighting natural and seasonal ingredients.

If you love shopping and nightlife, look elsewhere! If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a unique, timeless experience surrounded by nature, treat yourself to a moment of pure bliss. Be sure to plan your reservation carefully, though, as the Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is only open from mid-May through late September, and you’ll need to plan for a 3-, 4-, or 7-night stay.

In a nutshell

  • A getaway surrounded by nature.
  • A vacation in a tent, but with all the comforts you could ever want.
  • There are a wide variety of activities available to you.

Eating

You're on an island, so be sure to enjoy the meals prepared by the chef. You can find menu ideas on the website and let us know if you have any special requests. In any case, you can look forward to enjoying elegant and refined signature dishes that highlight the quality of the ingredients used.

With the kids

Enjoy nature with your family. The Clayoquot Wilderness has everything you need—on land, in the air, and on the water.

You can plan full-day or half-day trips to go on an adventure and observe animals in their natural habitat.

The resort has also come up with plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy together: trampolines, ping-pong, a fairy house hunt, and more.

Shopping
