Three breathtaking BC resorts made a top 10 in Canada list

It’s no secret that BC is one of the most-loved places to travel in Canada, but some of our resorts are officially the best in the country now.

Each year, the popular wanderlust-worthy publication Travel + Leisure asks its readers to rank the best places in the world.

For 2021, there were three BC resort hotels that made the list, and they’re all in either Tofino or Whistler.

For this ranking, hotels were classified as either city or resort hotels based on what amenities they had and where they were located, so no Vancouver hotels were eligible for this list.

You go to The Wickaninnish Inn to be right on the edge of the pacific. The resort is sitting on the rocky coast of Tofino’s Chesterman Beach. It’s ideal for being a luxurious base camp for adventures in nearby Pacific Rim National Park. 

According to Travel + Leisure, this resort “is a perennial favourite for its indulgent spa services as well as the amazing views of the Pacific Ocean from the guest rooms.”
