Wellbeing

Wellness and wellbeing are intrinsically woven into every experience at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge. Digital devices are left in the wake as the seaplane takes flight from Vancouver or the boat departs Tofino, leaving guests free to be and to spend time with those who matter most. Begin the day with yoga and segue into a hearty, healthy breakfast with loved ones while you plan to make the most of serendipity in the day ahead. Bathe in the highly oxygenated still of the old growth forest, take a transformative glacial plunge or enjoy a treatment at the Healing Grounds Spa.
