The Wickaninnish Inn, Tofino, British Columbia, Canada, USA & Canada
The Wickaninnish Inn, Tofino
A boutique bolthole at the edge of the Pacific Ocean on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island, ‘The Wick’ as it’s widely known, has been a firm favourite with travellers to the island for a number of years and it certainly inspires awe with its jaw-dropping vistas. The beauty of the outside world is reflected indoors at every turn, from the panoramic windows with that billion-dollar view to the custom-designed furniture crafted from driftwood and votive candle holders made from ocean-smoothed pebbles. One of the only Relais & Châteaux properties in western Canada, The Wickaninnish Inn is a jewel in British Columbia’s coastal crown.
Highlights
Sleep
Divided across the original Pointe Building and the fractionally more modern Beach Building, natural materials are used throughout the property, from hand-adzed (a traditional method of carving and smoothing wood) red cedar panels on the doors to slate tiles on the roof. Each of the 60 Deluxe Rooms, 12 Suites and three Premiere Rooms offer rustic elegance on nature’s edge, with floor-to-ceiling windows, plush king-sized beds and electric fireplaces. Each room is identical in layout and amenities; it's simply the view which changes as you ascend the floors of the two buildings. We highly recommend booking a room on the second floor or above, ensuring you get that wave-crashing panorama to wake to each day. If looking for a little extra space or you're travelling with little ones, the Suites offer a home-from-home Canadian cabin-esque experience like no other.
