If the weather becomes a little more dramatic, curl up by the fire and watch the storm from the comfort of your own room, the snug library or one of the lounges which afford wonderful views. Take a yoga class or relax in the spa with a vast array of treatments or treat yourself to a wonderful gourmet experience at The Pointe restaurant. With 240 degree views, a collaboration with the Tofino-Ucluelet Culinary Guild, ensuring local grown organic ingredients and Executive Chef Warren Barr's flair, guests are spoiled for choice. If your stay is during a weekend, the Champagne Sunday Brunch is a must. Also, for those with a sweet tooth, their delectable chocolate dessert is created by Chef Pâtissier with the purest chocolate and hand-selected fruit. Decadent bliss!

All guest rooms and suite take in the beautiful ocean views, with the higher the floor, the better the view. The suites are all on the top floor and offer the ultimate in special accommodations. The loft suites are perfect for families with split level accommodations and their own kitchens.

So whether you head to the Wickanninish Inn for a weekend away from the big city or part of a longer vacation, you will be taken away from the world with this amazing experience and leave having been part of somewhere very special.

Top tip:

Henry Nolla's Carving Shed borders the beach and old-growth forest, carrying on the traditional First Nations techniques used by the late master throughout the Inn - if you see the "Open" sign, come in and see what wood carvers Lyne Des Rosiers and "Feather" George Yearsley are creating!
