Wickaninnish Inn, a Relais & Châteaux property since 1997, overlooks the Pacific Ocean from a rocky point on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast, near the eclectic town of Tofino and Pacific Rim National Park. Two contemporary cedar buildings, set against a backdrop of ancient rainforest, boast an extensive local art collection (complemented by the neighbouring wood carving shed), and all rooms and suites offer ocean or beach views, gas fireplace, soaker tub and individual balcony. Uncompromising service, including a Clefs d’Or Concierge team, is a standard. The sole resort on Chesterman Beach, Tofino’s longest at 2.5km/1.5mi, the Inn is home to refined West Coast cuisine at The Pointe Restaurant and naturally-inspired treatments at its intimate Ancient Cedars Spa. Tofino’s McDiarmid family welcomes you to this locally owned, world-renowned sanctuary offering Rustic Elegance on Nature’s Edge.

    Best anniversary getaway
    Everything about this hotel and spa speaks to quality, service and a lot of attention to detail. The room was immaculate, very nicely appointed with fireplace, some free snacks and drinks and a breathtaking view. If I had known how cozy and comfortable the room would be, I would have stayed longer. There was a view of the ocean waves crashing right outside our window & bald eagles flying by - winter is a fine time to come here for the views and snuggling by the in-room fireplace. We had hot stone massages at the spa which was wonderful. Dey was a great masseuse! Our dinner at the restaurant was fabulous & relaxed - we did the tasting menu and it was worth it. They were also flexible about choosing from the menu and the suggested wines. We loved our waiter, Paulo, who patiently explained everything we wanted know and provided great service. We also brought our dog and appreciate the amenities provided. They have dog sitting service you can book ahead of time. Lily came to our room and sat with Lulu while we had our anniversary dinner at the restaurant. When we came back, Lulu was snuggled on Lily's lap, clearly bonded with her in a few short hours :-) When we considered the amazing location, great hotel, spa and restaurant, we feel this was a great value for money! They are 100% customer focused. When we checked out, I booked our next trip for the busy summer months and will soon book next year's anniversary. It's wise to book well ahead of time!
    Dear Terwoerds, We appreciate and thank you for your very kind and generous compliments regarding our Inn, The Pointe Restaurant and our Ancient Spa, but most especially in regard to our team. We sincerely hope to welcome you back to the Wickaninnish Inn again. Sandy Stocker Guest Relations Coordinator Wickaninnish Inn and The Pointe Restaurant

    Absolutely Incredible!!!!!!!
    Staying at the Wickaninnish Inn was a huge splurge for my husband and I. Not even a little bit sorry. The front entrance is stunning with hand carved pillars and massive front doors. There are hand carved wood features throughout the hotel. We were greeted warmly at the front desk, checked in, and then given a tour of the hotel. We were then taken to our room where we were shown the different features of the room and a bottle of port was waiting as a welcome. We had a room on the third floor of the Pointe Building and what an incredible view it had. Sitting in large stuffed chairs with the fire going sipping wine while looking out large picture windows at that stunning view. We had delicious breakfasts in the Pointe Restaurant each morning and dinners in the On The Rocks Restaurant in the evenings. We would like to mention Holly specifically from the Pointe Restaurant as she was warm and friendly each morning at breakfast.. Remi(I apologize if i misspelled your name) at the front desk also gets a mention as he made us feel welcome and special from the moment we arrived. Chesterman Beach is a nice walk with lots of surfers out every day no matter what the weather. We walked over to Frank Island at low tide. The hotel offers turn down service in the evenings that leave a card letting you know the temperature forecast for the next day and high & low tide times. The Wickaninnish Inn is well worth the splurge for the location, beautiful rooms, food, and second to none service.

    Bucket List trip a Success
    My husband and I and father in law treated ourselves to 3 nights and had an amazing time. We booked the Pointe Deluxe-Two Queens West 3rd Floor and were not disappointed! The Pointe Building has the Pointe Restaurant, On the Rocks Bar, Spa, Conference Rooms and amazing wine Cellar! Be sure to go downstairs to see the cellar and amazing long table in there, it's behind the Bar. Staff were extremely friendly and made you feel very special. I was surprised that the atmosphere was very casual and welcoming, not uppity at all. This was a bucket list trip and did not feel out of place at all, thank you Wickanninsih! The room was equipped with everything you needed....rain gear/stainless steel water bottles/fridge/ CD's/ bathrobes/slippers/bath salts/port/snack/coffee/tea/hot chocolate/backpack/safe...you won't go without! The breakfasts were amazing, and the view is breathtaking. We had dinner there once, fulfilled our appetites and were impressed with the quality of the food, it's presentation and professionalism of the serving staff. Thanks for making our once in a lifetime experience unforgettable!

What a relaxing trip to this beautiful, remote area of Vancouver Island. We stayed in the Pointe Bldg, 3rd Floor, South facing which would be my preference if we return. Gaze out your window onto the surf and the horizon beyond.

We hoped for a romantic vacation. Wickaninnish Inn offered us exactly that. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The room and decor was top notch. There was nothing but tasteful touches everywhere we looked. The view from our room were over the top. At times we didn't even want to leave our room. We are so glad we chose this inn for our getaway.

Our stay at the Wickaninnish in near Tofino British Columbia on the West Coast of Vancouver Island was exceptional. Every employee we encountered tried to make our experience better. The room we stayed in had incredible view was clean well serviced and comfortable. Every meal we ate at the Pointe Restaurant had wonderful flavors and was beautifully appealing. We can’t wait to go back.

A fantastic few days at this wonderful hotel. The location on the most idyllic beach is very unique. The hotel is modern but classic with charming staff and delicious food. The concierge in advance booked us bear and whale trips and kayaking. Rooms were excellent with fantastic views. I cannot fault it and thoroughly recommend if you are in this area.

The Wick Inn is superb in every respect. The location is beautiful as it's tucked away amongst rocks and trees beside the ocean. The Inn itself is stunning - the rooms, the staff, and the food were all 5+ stars. One of our most relaxing holidays ever.

A truly excellent hotel right on the beach about 3 miles outside of Tofino. There are many reviews extolling the high quality of this hotel. It really is that good being architecturally interesting and blending seamlessly into the landscape. Staff are friendly and professional, the rooms are lovely and the Pointe restaurant has very good food. Housekeeping is excellent. Splendid bathrooms with lots of towels. Fabulously comfortable bed. We were last here 14 years ago and nothing has slipped since then, it may even have got better. It's not cheap but this standard doesn't come cheap. The location is stunning and it is a short drive to restaurants in Tofino and about 40 minutes to Ucluelet. The rainforest park is almost on your doorstep. Credit to the staff including a maintenance guy who helped us with a slow puncture on our rental car going beyond what was expected.

From the rooms to the staff to the location, the Wick was a fabulous place for us to spend a few days. We could have easily just stayed on the property with the available food and drink options and the incredible beach access, but the hotel was also incredibly convenient to Tofino, allowing us to have the best of both. I would recommend to anyone looking to get away and have a wonderful experience--especially if you can get a massage at their incredible spa.

Unbelievable property with unbelievable service! Our family was greeted by everyone on site with a smile and such a welcoming attitude each and every day. The room was perfect for our family of 5 and the location on the beach is stunning plus its proximity to town. Highly recommend this property, one of our best family trips made special because of The Wick!
