Tofino, British Columbia

Ancient forest.
Wild Pacific edge.

Oceanfront rooms with balconies and fireplaces, a celebrated restaurant, and a spa, perched where the trees meet crashing waves.

The Inn

Where the forest ends and the ocean begins

At the far western edge of Vancouver Island, Wickaninnish Inn sits at the point where old-growth forest gives way to the full drama of the Pacific. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame a living, breathing ocean that changes by the hour.

Driftwood paneling, stone fireplaces, and textiles that carry the colours of the coast make each room feel like a natural extension of the shoreline. Balconies hang over the surf. Gas fireplaces glow while rain sweeps the beach below. The design is rooted in its place, and it shows in every surface you touch.

The Pointe Restaurant occupies a circular room with a wall of windows overlooking Secret Cove, while the spa and bar offer quiet counterpoints to a day spent on Chesterman Beach. Rain gear and waders are provided for guests who want to walk the wide, hard-packed shore whatever the weather.

The Pointe Restaurant

A circular dining room circled by windows, overlooking Secret Cove. Locally sourced ingredients, carefully prepared.

Spa & Wellness

The on-site spa offers treatments like the Cedar Escape, a calming complement to wild coastal air and long beach walks.

Chesterman Beach

Wide, hard-packed sand stretching for miles, with surfers in the break and eagles overhead. Rain gear provided.

Library & Bar

Backgammon by a fire in the library, cocktails and a charcuterie platter in the bar. The Thy Neighbor cocktail is worth asking for.

The Setting

A wilderness paradise. On the door of the Pacific Rim.

"The setting is simply breathtaking: ancient forest at your back, the full drama of the Pacific at your feet." Guests leave balcony doors open at night to fall asleep to waves. Bald eagles perch in the trees outside corner rooms. Winter storms drive the surf into the cliffs below the Pointe Building. Every season brings a different mood to the same view.

Pacific Rim National Park and Ucluelet are within easy reach, and Tofino's restaurants, surf schools, and whale-watching are minutes away.

"The design feels deeply rooted in its setting, driftwood, stone, the textures of the coast, yet entirely luxurious. And the views. Floor-to-ceiling windows framing a living, breathing ocean that changes by the hour. We lost count of how many times we simply stopped what we were doing to look."

"We stayed in the Beachcomber Suite. We're still dreaming about the honeyed halloumi on our morning plate. Evenings were spent in the library playing backgammon. We were fortunate to see whales, eagles, and seals. It was a truly unforgettable stay."

"Every staff member I encountered was exceptional: friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of their work and their hotel. The attention to detail here is outstanding, from the finishes throughout the property to the thoughtful touches like the umbrella and rain gear provided in each room."

"It is luxury without pretension, nature without compromise, and hospitality at its very finest. There is a rare feeling of remoteness here, yet every detail of the inn makes you feel deeply cared for and connected. Time seems to slow down in the best possible way."

"The service was above and beyond our expectations, the rooms magnificent, the view outstanding. On the first night we were not happy with the mattress. We mentioned this and within 1 hour they had replaced the mattress with a firmer one. Every other property we stay at will be measured against here."

"We hosted our elopement at the Wickaninnish Inn and had such an amazing stay. The Inn itself is spectacular and the perfect setting for a relaxing stay in nature. No details were spared in the design and amenities provided in each room, from the welcome glass of port to the rain coats provided for those stormy Tofino mornings."
