3 Best Hotels in Ucluelet, Vancouver Island

On a cliff above the ocean, this couples-oriented B&B has some of the most dramatic views anywhere. The rooms, all with fireplaces, private balconies or decks, and whirlpool baths, are decorated in a highly individual style. The Lighthouse room winds up three levels and has a spectacular view from its king-size four-poster bed, the Valhalla has a nautical theme, and the Atlantis room has a whirlpool tub for two. A staircase leads down to a rocky beach. Two rooms in a separate cottage, one of which is wheelchair-accessible, have forest views.

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.
