Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the ocean, the Wickaninnish Inn, established in 1996 by the McDiarmid family, embodies the timeless spirit of a Relais & Châteaux establishment. Here, the rich flavours, roots, and culture of the West Coast come to life, opening minds and awakening the senses to the profound power of nature.
Whether you seek deep serenity or revitalizing energy, each stay offers the opportunity to be as restorative as desired. Every moment is an invitation to discover peace, explore boundless natural beauty, and embrace renewal amidst one of the most special landscapes on Earth.
Experience the rhythms of nature, from the storms of winter to the sunsets of summer. Set above Chesterman Beach and within the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Region, the Inn offers intimate access to the Pacific Ocean, intertidal zones, and ancient temperate rainforests year-round.
From the warm embrace of West Coast hospitality to the soothing sounds of the Pacific Ocean, every detail is thoughtfully designed to create a sanctuary where serenity and connection flourish, leaving you refreshed, inspired, and truly in tune with nature.
At the end of the road in a town rooted in beach culture and deep Indigenous history, Tofino’s vibrant and diverse community of surfers, artists, entrepreneurs, and locals welcomes all who visit. The McDiarmid family has been an active part of this community since the 1960s, fostering a legacy of stewardship, connection, and shared purpose.
