Fodor's Expert Review Wya Point Resort

Choose from ocean-view cedar cottages, rustic yurts, or a family-friendly campground at this resort-style development tucked into 600 acres of coastal rain forest between Ucluelet and the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. Opened in 2013 on a traditional village site by the Ucluelet First Nation, the resort's setting includes a pristine, previously inaccessible stretch of sandy beach and rocky headlands. Nine lofty one- and two-bedroom cottages built of locally harvested woods have cedar beams, winding staircases, ocean-side decks, custom-made furniture, traditional hand-carved house posts, and stunning views of the crashing surf. Full kitchens, heated floors, gas fireplaces, and leather sofas keep things cozy year-round. Also on-site, nine beach-side yurts and a campsite offer fun, family-friendly budget accommodations. The resort's reception area and a convenience store are at the Tofino-Ucluelet junction on Highway 4, about a mile from the resort.
