THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE
First opened in 1996, Wickaninnish Inn has a well-earned reputation for its warm hospitality, elegant accommodation and enticing menu of outdoor experiences. Guests are perfectly positioned for exploring the Pacific Rim National Park and Clayoquot Sound, with everything from bear watching excursions to sea kayaking and insightful cultural tours on the menu. After, you can retreat to the serene spa where treatments draw on indigenous ingredients.
Made up of two neighbouring buildings beautifully constructed from natural wood, glass and stone, the property lies just steps from the beach with stunning seascapes at every turn. The handiwork of local artisans features heavily throughout, and you can even see the process first-hand in the onsite carving shed. As well as a crackling fireplace and giant soaking tub, every room has picture windows overlooking the wild Pacific coastline – ideal for storm watching between November and March. Another highlight is the award-winning Pointe Restaurant where you’ll find regional cuisine complemented by a 240-degree view of the ocean.

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.
