A QUIET HAVEN
April Point Resort & Spa is a quiet haven where guests can escape from the bustle of their daily routines, and spend some quality time in a pristine wilderness area.
The property sits serenely on the shores of Quadra Island, just a short ferry ride from Vancouver Island. Accommodation ranges from rooms and cabins to private houses which look out over the mountains, harbour, ocean or Discovery Passage.
The ‘houses’ offer a true home away from home, with full kitchens, private decks and hot tubs, making them the perfect choice for families or those looking for more privacy.
The resort encourages its guests to explore their natural surroundings, and offers an exciting array of activities such as kayaking, biking and world-class salmon fishing. There are many opportunities to encounter the region’s enchanting wildlife, from zodiac tours in search of whales, dolphins, seals and bald eagles, to encounters with wild grizzly bears on guided day trips. For something more relaxing, a wine and cheese cruise will take you around the secluded coves and inlets of the Discovery Passage. And of course, there is the heavenly Aveda Spa set in a beautiful Japanese-style building.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
