Even arriving at Clayoquot is an adventure. The 45-minute seaplane ride from Vancouver takes in spectacular scenery from snow-capped mountains to pristine forest and meandering rivers. The plane lands on the lake that surrounds the resort and guests are transported by horse and cart to the heart of the resort.
The main lodge houses comfortable sofas, a roaring open fire and a cozy dining room, The Cookhouse, where there's a daily-changing menu of locally sourced sustainable produce. The Ivanhoe Lounge is perfectly situated for guests looking to enjoy a handcrafted cocktail or chilled glass of rosé, paired with spectacular views across the sound. Keep your eyes peeled for otters, herons and bears! In the evenings, settle in by the fire with s’mores and stories of the day's adventures.
As dinner winds down, guests can retire to their own luxurious private tent. Nestled into the forest or down on the lake they offer every comfort with king size beds and plush down duvets, ensuring a toasty nights sleep.
As day breaks, the Clayoquot experience really begins. Choose your activity and get started or simply pick a chair, take in the view and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this little oasis. From fishing to wildlife viewing, from horse riding to mountain biking, it is all here for you to enjoy. Even if you prefer to be more relaxed, guests can soak up the atmosphere from the hot tub or indulge in a treatment in the Healing Grounds Spa. With walking trails aplenty, guests can find waterfalls, rope bridges, rivers and even an old mine to explore.

Fishing is also why many guests flock to Clayoquot, with both ocean and fresh water fishing available.
