The Wickaninnish Inn, Tofino Canada, has become a landmark - the enchanting and critically acclaimed destination on the awesome western edge of beautiful British Columbia. No trip to BC - and indeed, Canada - should be made without experiencing this remarkable Tofino destination.

The Wickaninnish Inn offers direct access to Chesterman Beach, panoramic ocean or beach views from every guest room. We also have 75 deluxe guest rooms and suites (with fireplace, soaker tub and individual balcony), a 720 sq. ft. meeting/banquet room (accommodating up to 60 people). The Pointe Restaurant seats 75 and our full-service Ancient Cedars Spa is an AVEDA Destination Spa that offers extensive body and esthetic treatments.

The Wickaninnish Inn story begins way back in 1955, and is closely tied to the modern-day history of Tofino and the Pacific Rim National Park, and of course to the popular draw of Tofino winter storm watching

Ancient Cedars Spa

If the Wickaninnish Inn is the oyster, its pearl has to be Ancient Cedars Spa. On the Ocean level of the Pointe building, the Spa is nestled into the forest fringe, adjacent to the wave dashed-rocks looking out to the open Pacific. Here, certified professionals provide a journey into a sense of well being, with an emphasis on relaxation and rejuvenation, in harmony with nature. As an AVEDA Destination Spa, bringing the AVEDA experience to Ancient Cedars Spa means more than just featuring AVEDA products. The AVEDA concept is based on the holistic principles of Ayurvedic medicine, carefully considering the wellness of the whole person in determining the best spa treatment for each guest. As such, your spa experience will begin with a pre-treatment consultation and sensory journey with your therapist on our oceanfront patio or in our fireplace-warmed lounge.

The Rooms at the Wickaninnish Inn

The Wickaninnish Inn 's two buildings, 'At-the-Pointe' and 'On-the-Beach' have been designed to complement each other and the natural beauty of their surroundings. Experience Vancouver Island nature at its wildest while enjoying the luxurious comfort of this world-class Tofino resort, offering Pacific Northwest cuisine and AVEDA spa services in a smoke-free, natural environment, where pets are also welcome to reserve!

The first thing you'll notice as you enter any one of our guest rooms or suites are the inspiring views of the ocean and Chesterman Beach, revealed by floor-to-ceiling picture windows. Step out onto your balcony, breathe in the fresh salt air, listen to the waves crash onto the shore below and you'll know you've arrived on nature's edge, in Tofino BC. As you explore your room, you'll discover that every need has been anticipated...private bar, beverage station, individual book selection, your own suite of cds, down duvet, and large screen television - in the off-chance you can pull yourself away from the rhythmic sounds of the surf outside. You might gaze off at the Tofino surfers hanging ten or simply ponder the glory of the evening's sunset or next morning's sunrise. In any case, be sure to take a leisurely walk on Chesterman Beach and afterwards, toss some AVEDA aromatherapy bath salts in your oversized soaker tub and enjoy a heavenly hot bath.

Of course, if ever you need to stay in touch with the outside world, communication is as close as the dual line phone and complimentary high-speed Internet connection provided in every guest room and suite.

Pointe Restaurant
