Accessible only by seaplane or boat, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge truly redefines the concept of wild elegance. Surrounded by ancient conifer forests, pristine waters, and rugged mountains, the lodge’s exquisite blend of rustic charm and refined luxury harmonizes with the breath-taking surroundings of Clayoquot Sound.

Each of the 25 luxurious white canvas tents, furnished with cosy cast iron stoves and verandahs overlooking either the forest or Bedwell River, is a true sanctuary immersed in the untamed beauty of this remote corner of Vancouver Island.

Guests can immerse themselves in bespoke wilderness experiences, from guided hikes through old-growth forests to kayaking along serene inlets. Days are spent encountering wildlife in its natural habitat, dining on gourmet cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients, and rejuvenating spirit and soul in the Healing Grounds Spa. Whether it’s exploring the great outdoors or soaking in a cedar hot tub, every moment at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is a celebration of Canada’s untamed natural beauty.
