Fodor's Expert Review Clayoquot Wilderness Resort
1 Clayoquot, Tofino, British Columbia, V0R 2Z0, Canada Fodor's Choice
People from around the globe arrive via floatplane or a 30-minute boat ride from Tofino to experience this Relais & Chateaux property, one of the region's top wilderness resorts. Typical days include ocean fishing, bear watching, horseback riding through the rain forest, or perhaps mountain biking or sea kayaking, followed by a lavish dinner. Torch-lit boardwalks lead to platform tents, elegantly furnished with antiques and plush bedding. The property features 25 luxury tents, of which 20 have private en suite bathrooms; five deluxe outpost tents have private facilities nearby. Sip local wines in the outdoor lounge area before a huge river-stone fireplace, or sidle up to the counter in the open kitchen with a frothy cappuccino and a good book. Per person prices are all-inclusive.
PROS
- escapism at its best, with no phone or other distractions
- excellent food
- a ton of outdoorsy activities
CONS
- it's extremely pricey
