Nestled between the untamed Pacific Ocean and the lush old-growth rainforest, the Wickaninnish Inn invites you to experience unparalleled tranquility and rustic elegance on nature’s edge. Whether you feel called to thrilling adventures such as sea kayaking, whale watching, and storm watching in the winter or a pampering retreat at our Ancient Cedars Spa, the Inn is an ideal haven from which to experience the wonders of the West Coast of Vancouver Island all year round.

The Inn is home to a suite or premier room perfectly suited for every occasion. Our Frank Island Suite offers an unparalleled coastal retreat for those seeking an intimate connection with the beauty of Tofino. Wake up to the gentle sounds of rolling waves in your King-size bed, and spend your days unwinding in the personal reading nook or soaking in the ocean vistas from your double soaker tub. On fall days, after exploring Tofino on two wheels or spending the afternoon strolling the beaches, return to your suite for a relaxing bath and cozy up by the fireplace. With the morning and early afternoon sun lighting the welcoming living room area and balcony, these one-bedroom suites make for the perfect getaway.

Surrounded by the serenity of dense forest and offering enchanting views of Chesterman Beach, our Beachcomber Suite is much like the Frank Island Suite and features a cozy gas fireplace, Queen sofa bed, double-soaker bathtub, and private balcony. What sets the Beachcomber Suite apart is the full wet bar in place of the reading bench, inviting you to unwind with a refreshing drink.
