Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is a celebrated luxury outpost that sits isolated amongst the lush coastal rainforest of remote Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Surrounded by the UNESCO listed Clayoquot Sound Biosphere, and flanking the pristine Strathcona Provincial Park, this 600-acre property sits at the head of the Bedwell River making it the ideal location to explore the wilds of the Island.

The resort is located on Vancouver Island, and skirts the banks of Clayoquot Sound ocean inlet, providing an escape to Canada's rugged wilderness. The journey to Clayoquot, which is only accessible by seaplane, is indicative of a true break from the mundane. The cabins, which is nestled amid beautiful conifer trees, provides guests with an incredible view of the landscape and its wildlife.

This resort being isolated is inaccessible by car. The lodge is best reached by a 45-minute seaplane flight from Vancouver, or 35-minute boat ride from Tofino.

Twenty-five luxuriously appointed white canvas tents in the style of turn-of-the-century prospectors, line the banks of the magnificent Clayoquot Sound and are dotted among the region’s pristine old growth temperate rainforest. A Baillie Lodges-led reimagining of the tents’ interiors in time for the 2021 season brings a fresh new contemporary look to the accommodations with signature clean lines, generous appointments and pared back, refined luxury. End-of-the-bed views and specially commissioned furnishings from local designers evoke a personal connection with the Vancouver Island landscape.
