Tofino<\/a> is world-renowned as a storm-watching destination, when the winter months bring heavy rains, strong winds, and epic waves to Vancouver Island\u2019s wild and rugged west coast. But this tiny surf town is an equally worthy destination in the summertime, when the sunlight breaks through towering green trees in the forest, and the sun sets late along the idyllic sandy beaches that stretch off into the distance.<\/p>\n

Getting here is half the fun, with a trip from Vancouver requiring a two-hour ferry and a three-hour drive along a winding, tree-lined highway. Upon arrival, Tofino\u2019s charms are immediately felt: there is a calm that is almost intoxicating. It\u2019s nearly impossible not to slow down, to breathe deeper, to let city stresses be pulled away with the undertow of the Pacific.<\/p>\n

There is no greater setting for this than the Wickaninnish Inn<\/a>, a Relais & Ch\u00e2teaux property on iconic Chesterman Beach. The Wick, as locals call it, has been synonymous with the pinnacle of Vancouver Island hospitality since it opened its doors in 1996. With rustic, understated elegance, the Wick excels not only in its service, which is warm and welcoming without being overbearing, but also in its design, which wholly and unapologetically celebrates its surroundings.<\/p>\n
