These are no ordinary high end resorts. You will be inspired to get out of the gym or spa to take a hike into a provincial park or kayak into one of the hundreds of inlets waiting to be discovered. We're confident you won't run into too many other guests along the way as many of these five star resorts go to great lengths to ensure that your stay is pampered, peaceful and restorative.

The Magnolia Hotel - Boutique-licious

How the Magnolia Hotel and Spa is staying true to the boutique style.

These days just about anything can be "boutique." There are boutique nightclubs, boutique spas, boutique glasses frames—hell, there are even fake-boutique brands! The “boutique” label typically describes hotels that are intimate, luxurious or quirky and that differentiate themselves from larger chain hotels by providing personalized services. Well, the Magnolia Hotel and Spa has managed to keep a true boutique style, even through some major changes.

Knight Inlet Lodge is a very special place. From Victoria, you drive half way up Vancouver Island to Campbell River. From CR you catch a float plane which takes you on a breathtaking 35 min. ride along the coastal mountains to Glendale Cove. You really feel completely off of the grid when you come here. There are no TV's, radios or televisions....awesome.
