Beach-side access with deluxe rooms – The Wickaninnish Inn in 
Tofino ( AS seen in our sister publication NICHE)
Since 2001, this family owned resort overlooks Chesterman Beach through 20-foot tall windows, a spacious mezzanine-level lookout library area, fully equipped boardroom, the Driftwood Cafe and a fitness room with a stunning view. The vision of the hotel began with a desire to reflect the essence of the rugged, wild and untamed destination in a combination with the ultimate in modern creature comforts- all without making a huge impact on the environment. The Inn truly embodies its commitment to rustic elegance on nature’s edge.
