Wickaninnish Inn

Balanced on rocks at one end of stunning Chesterman beach in the heart of the Pacific Rim National Park, the Wickaninnish Inn offers one of the most dramatic outlooks across the Pacific Ocean, breathtaking in the summer sunshine or in winter storms.

Tofino, British Columbia, Canada
CHOICE

  • In a dramatic location right on the rocks overlooking the Pacific Ocean

  • Superb Relais et Chateau restaurant with panoramic ocean views

  • 10 minutes drive from Tofino with abundant day tour, restaurant and shopping options

  • Stunning spa with couples treatment room overlooking the ocean

Come and wrap yourself up in the warmth of the Wickaninnish Inn. Be your visit in mid summer when the days are warm and balmy or in the midst of winter when you can simply snuggle by a log fire and watch the ocean storms, The Wickaninnish offers something for everyone in every season.

Getting to the inn is easy, either by flight from Vancouver or as part of a longer self drive itinerary. In the heart of the Pacific Rim National Park, nestled into forest, the inn is hidden away to ensure guest privacy.

Spending a few days here can be as active or relaxed as guests choose. There are an abundance of walking trails, opportunities for surfing, wildlife viewing, whale watching, fishing or simply wandering along the stunning Chesterman beach for a spot of beachcombing.

If the weather becomes a little more dramatic, curl up by the fire and watch the storm from the comfort of your own room, the snug library or one of the lounges which afford wonderful views. Take a yoga class or relax in the spa with a vast array of treatments or treat yourself to a wonderful gourmet experience at The Pointe restaurant. With 240 degree views, a collaboration with the Tofino-Ucluelet Culinary Guild, ensuring local grown organic ingredients and Executive Chef Warren Barr's flair, guests are spoiled for choice. If your stay is during a weekend, the Champagne Sunday Brunch is a must. Also, for those with a sweet tooth, their delectable chocolate dessert is created by Chef Pâtissier with the purest chocolate and hand-selected fruit. Decadent bliss!

All guest rooms and suite take in the beautiful ocean views, with the higher the floor, the better the view. The suites are all on the top floor and offer the ultimate in special accommodations. The loft suites are perfect for families with split level accommodations and their own kitchens.

So whether you head to the Wickanninish Inn for a weekend away from the big city or part of a longer vacation, you will be taken away from the world with this amazing experience and leave having been part of somewhere very special.

Top tip:

Henry Nolla's Carving Shed borders the beach and old-growth forest, carrying on the traditional First Nations techniques used by the late master throughout the Inn - if you see the "Open" sign, come in and see what wood carvers Lyne Des Rosiers and "Feather" George Yearsley are creating!
