What we think

Skylark only includes hotels that meet our stamp of approval. Our editorial review for this one isn’t ready yet — but we’re working on it! Below is the hotel’s own description.

.

Some 30 minutes by boat from Tofino, British Columbia Canada or 20 miles as the eagle flies, rests this premier eco-safari destination. Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is open annually from mid May to the end of September only and offers all-inclusive adventures of 3, 4 or 7 nights. Inspired by late 19th century Great Camps, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort promises the perfect pairing of soft adventure and soft beds - a delicious blend of childhood wishes and grown-up dreams. Situated at the mouth of the Bedwell River, where it spills into a nine-mile-long fjord, an enclave of 20 great white canvas guest tents, massage and treatment tents, dinning tents, lounge tents and a massive timber cookhouse peek out shyly from the dense bush. Clayoquot Wilderness Resort offers a discreet paradox of individual pampering and remote, untamed wilderness.

Restaurants & Bars

Soul Food - In the Cookhouse kitchen, well is defined by local, sustainable, seasonal, clean and beautiful – prepared with love and passion by an extraordinary team of Relais & Chateaux class artisan chefs. Cuisine is fine, luxurious, storied and comforting – rooted in sustainable, locally grown, foraged and harvested ingredients sourced almost entirely from Clayoquot Sound and Vancouver Island, and delivered daily to the resort by boat.

Ivanhoe Lounge - This adult-oriented space rests at the very edge of the estuary, at the point where the Bedwell River spills into the salty Pacific at Bedwell Sound.
