The property: Found on Vancouver Island’s rugged west coast, surrounded by the Pacific on three sides, this rustic retreat boasts panoramic views, large guest rooms and a luxurious spa.

Eco-friendly highlights: All of the hotel’s produce, meat and seafood is sourced locally from the island or the province. When it comes to post-meal disposal, the Inn features a multi-unit composter called the “Worminator.” For guests who want to explore the island, they offer use of their electrical vehicles.
