Tofino Resort + Marina’s Remote Floating Sauna is featured in TIME’s Annual List of the World’s Greatest Places.

The heat is on.

Tofino Resort + Marina redefines “get away from it all” spa-ing with its new, full-day floating sauna experience in Clayoquot Sound, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve off Vancouver Island.

This floating sauna is the ultimate nature escape.

Nature and wellness lovers have another reason to visit British Columbia in Canada.

Surfing, saunas and spruce trails are just the start.

Tofino has long been the unofficial surf capital of Canada and many people who visit this bohemian backwater choose a beachfront accommodation, but there are more reasons than ever before to spend time on the marina side.

This new floating sauna nestled deep in the natural beauty of Clayoquot Sound is probably unlike anything you’ve ever experienced before.

If one were to picture the epitome of serenity, it would probably look something like Tofino Resort + Marina’s new floating sauna. Moored in the frigid waters of B.C.’s Clayoquot Sound, the sauna combines the peace of nature with the physical release of a day at the spa.

The community gathering raised $21,192.46 in one night to support the Nuu-chah-nulth Warrior Program, an Indigenous youth leadership program established in 2015 that is now hosted in six Nuu-chah-nulth communities (Huu-ay-aht, Ditidaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Kyuquot Checleseht, Tseshaht and Ucluelet First Nation) and Old Massett on Haida Gwaii.

With Americans clamoring to visit Canada again after a long border closure, here’s where to go off the beaten track. Set on the rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, Tofino is a surfer’s paradise and nature-lover’s retreat.

The thing about places like Tofino is you don’t simply end up here by accident. It takes effort and once you’re here, you feel part of a special club – where even its longtime members seem genuinely happy you’ve arrived.

The hip home base of this ocean-front community on Vancouver Island’s west coast is a full-service, one-stop shop, delivering comfort, fine dining, a lively watering hole, water taxi, and an ocean adventure centre ready to whisk you away to the region’s islands and inlets.

Finding a full-service resort to stay at, with its own dock and friendly, relaxed staff, only a short stroll from the oceanside community’s artisan shops and surf shops is the hard part. At least, it was until Tofino Resort + Marina opened in February.

How Tofino Resort + Marina’s restaurant got its name

Big, beautiful, and delicious. This is BC in a nutshell — at least if you ask us foodies, it is.

While there are amazing restaurants, bars, and cafes scattered all around this province, one of the most spectacular places you can chow down in BC has got to be Tofino.

Vancouver Island is fast becoming a national culinary powerhouse, and no wonder — it boasts a remarkable bounty of fresh, local produce.

Newly renovated Tofino Resort and Marina opened this past summer, bringing a glittering new profile—and an outstanding local ingredient focused restaurant and pub—to the town.
