Nature Abounds...
Exposure to the sights and sounds of nature—something the Inn has in unlimited supply—is proven to have a deep impact and ripple effect in improving one’s life quality. Breathing the freshest sea air alone improves wellness. Alongside the wonderscape outside, the offerings at the Wickaninnish Inn are presented with genuine care and consideration, giving guests the time to share special moments and create timeless memories. The suites and rooms are tailor-made to provide serenity amidst untamed wilderness. Each guestroom has a beach or ocean viewscape, gas fireplace, soaker tub with view, local art and an individual balcony. Binoculars on the mantle for guests to use on nature or beach walks or from the comfort of their individual balcony where one might see eagles or whales. A collec-
tion of books is also on the mantle so guests can just settle in if they choose. The Inn’s signature accommodations combine the beauty of the West Coast with the pursuit of providing excellence in every detail. Perhaps simply being in this place and taking time to be present is what you seek.
Rich Heritage and Culture
The area is also rich with heritage and culture and the primal nature of the surrounding wilderness renders an awareness of living in the now. Wander Chesterman Beach to the onsite Henry Nolla’s Carving Shed to watch and interact with local carvers. Feel the rhythm of waves by taking a surf lesson or kayaking excursion. Nourish yourself with fresh, flavourful and inspired dishes made from seasonal harvests and ingredients provided from local and sustainable sources at The Pointe Restaurant at the Inn.
Wellness Activities
For more curated forms of wellness activities, there are plenty of options to choose from. The award-winning Ancient Cedars Spa offers a variety of treatments inspired by the rainforest and the coast. You can choose a singular offering or allow highly skilled practitioners to guide you through a Signature treatment. Get your circulation moving with vigorous movement in the Fitness Centre or adjust and align with a private yoga class at the spa. The Wickaninnish Inn is a place that allows one to breathe deeply amongst nature that helps replenish and restore your natural state of wellbeing. Find stillness, find movement, find your rhythm at the Wickaninnish Inn.
