Discover Vancouver Island spa hotels on the east side of the island
As a tour guide I was often from Port Hardy to Victoria on the way. This route offers so much beauty. We got to know them even better on our trips as travel bloggers. In Telegraph Cove we observed orcas and bears – what an unforgettable sight! Further south, Campbell River impressed us with its waterfalls and great fishing opportunities. Then we were on Quadra Island. The island is simply fantastic: so quiet and with a magnificent view of the Discovery Passage. Courtenay and Comox offer a great mix of culture and nature. There are galleries, outdoor markets and relaxing hiking trails. In Victoria we walked through the enchanting Butchart Gardens. But also that Aquarium in Sydney was a real highlight. We stayed at some of the best Vancouver Island spa hotels along this route. They really are a treat for all the senses!
Vancouver Island Spa Hotels on the east side of the island
These Vancouver Island spa hotels offer everything you need for an enjoyable break. Along the east coast there are luxurious accommodations characterized by exclusivity, local cuisine, Wellness: and sustainability.
Are exclusivity and privacy important to you? Many Vancouver Island spa resorts offer tranquil retreats. But be prepared: some hotels can get crowded during weddings or at the pool. Local cuisine plays a central role. Most spa hotels value regional ingredients. But there may be times when the menu has limited options. After all, the region is not a tourist hotspot.
First-class wellness offers are a must. However, some spas are smaller and have limited capacities. Access to nature was important to us. Many of these spa hotels on Vancouver Island offer stunning views and access to hiking trails. But there are also hotels that are further away from outdoor activities.
Sustainability is also a big issue. Not all resorts are equally eco-friendly, but most make an effort. At Vancouver Island Spa Hotels you will find relaxation and luxury. The balance between exclusivity, regional cuisine, wellness and nature makes these accommodations so special.
