Accommodation
The inn’s location on a forest-covered headland on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast imbues a sense of being at one with nature. A Relais & Châteaux property, run by the genial McDiarmid family, the luxury hotel comprises rooms and suites at The Pointe or On The Beach, all complete with fireplaces, soaker tubs and large windows with ocean or beach views from the floor to ceiling windows. Pacific Northwest cuisine is served with panoramic vistas and an award winning wine list. Relax on Chesterman Beach, indulge in the renowned Ancient Cedars Spa or head off for a spot of seasonal whale-watching or bear-spotting. For the younger guests, the WickKids programme offers an in-room film night set-up and a Scavenger Hunt around the resort, beach and forest for all the family.
British Columbia’s coastal areas enjoy mild temperatures year round, with long sunny days in summer and cooler evenings in spring and autumn. Inland, the winters are cold and snowy. Alberta is Canada’s sunniest province with warm summers and mild springs. Snow in the Rockies is expected from November to March. Central Canada and the Provinces of Québec and Ontario offer year-round possibilities from the perfect winter wonderland to hot and sunny summers.
