Located on the west coast of Vancouver Island, at the heart of the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge offers an unparalleled luxury experience in one of the world’s most breathtaking natural settings. With a distinctly chic pioneer vibe, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge brilliantly combines the adventure of camping with the luxury and comfort of a five-star hotel.
A Thrilling Arrival
The adventure begins as soon as you arrive. Accessible only by seaplane, helicopter, or boat, getting to Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is an experience in itself. Whether flying over Vancouver Island’s dense forests or navigating the rugged coasts and salty fjords, every moment of the journey introduces you to the wild splendor that awaits. The final leg by horse-drawn cart instantly immerses you in the lodge’s serene and disconnected atmosphere.
Luxurious Pioneer-Inspired Accommodations
Despite its remote location, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge makes no compromises on comfort. Inspired by early 20th-century prospectors’ style, the 25 luxury canvas tents feature private bathrooms, antique furnishings, and sumptuous bedding. Every detail is designed to offer a unique and immersive experience, where rustic charm perfectly blends with modern refinement.
Unforgettable Adventures and Relaxation
For adventure enthusiasts, the lodge offers a wide range of activities suitable for all fitness levels. Go on guided safaris to observe black bears, whales, and eagles, or explore the stunning landscapes through hiking, kayaking, or horseback riding. The more daring can try canyoning and helicopter excursions, while those seeking relaxation can enjoy yoga sessions, spa treatments, and hot tubs with panoramic views.
Exceptional Cuisine
Gastronomy is also a highlight. The lodge’s culinary team creates exceptional dining experiences using local and sustainable ingredients. The menu, blending contemporary and traditional cuisine, showcases the rich flavors of the Pacific Northwest, making every meal a memorable culinary discovery.
