• One of the Best in the World: #50 Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge (September 2013)
  Swoop in by seaplane or arrive by boat to this tiny outpost in the magnificent wilderness country of Vancouver Island’s west coast. The guest tents are huge white canvas prospectorstyle shelters kitted out with mahogany chests, heirloom silver and fluffy duvets. The Activity Director will arrange whatever you like: horse riding, kayaking, fishing, watching for whales and black bears, or hiking through ancient growth forests to hot springs. Chef Ryan Orr’s food is a refined epicurean adventure with dishes such as local oyster chowder and pan-seared wild Pacific salmon. After dinner, quick-step along the cedar boardwalks to the games tent or the library tent before turning in (and listening for bears!).
