Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is named for Clayoquot Sound, a vast, 62-mile (100km) wide inlet of the Pacific Ocean on which it is located. The sound is made up of a series of remote inlets, private bays and small islands surrounded by pristine, old-growth conifer forest. An ancient landscape carved by the ocean, the west coast of British Columbia’s Vancouver Island is richly biodiverse. Untouched by time, the coastal ecosystem has evolved freely and now plays host to thousands of species of flora and fauna. Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is set at the doorstep of this precious wilderness, and is rewarded with direct and exclusive access to one of nature’s great amphitheatres.
Clayoquot Sound was designated as a UNESCO protected Biosphere Reserve in 2000. A diverse range of ecosystems exists within the reserve, ranging from temperate coastal rainforest and old growth conifer forest to and oceans and rocky coastal shores. Clayoquot Wilderness Resort is located at the very centre of the reserve, at the northeast end of a seven mile-long (11km) deep water fjord at Bedwell Sound – part of Clayoquot Sound – at the mouth of the Bedwell River.
Clayoquot Sound's pristine environment yields a rich bounty of seafood, wild mushrooms, fruits, and vegetables. At the Clayoquot Cookhouse, indulge in a dining experience showcasing fresh fish, crabs, scallops, foraged ingredients, and locally sourced produce. Enjoy a taste of Vancouver Island's natural beauty through sustainable and delectable dishes.
