Baillie Lodges’ Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, set in the remote wilderness of Canada’s Vancouver Island, has officially reopened for the 2024 season. New in 2024, the luxury eco-safari lodge, accessible only by seaplane or boat, will welcome guests with a farm-to-table menu created by the newly appointed Executive Chef Ben Godin, alongside refurbishments to the on-property restaurant, The Cookhouse, as well as additional sustainable initiatives.
The lodge’s restaurant, the Cookhouse, has been redesigned for the 2024 season. It is sporting new furniture, fixtures and artwork sourced from a local Tofino art gallery, House of Himwitsa, that pays homage to Clayoquot’s ties with the First Nations community. Guests can enjoy fresh meals prepared from locally sourced ingredients along with a selection of beverages.
The Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge also features the Healing Grounds Spa where guests can unwind with a range of treatments. Other activities include hiking through forests, horseback riding through scenic trails, submerging in glacial-fed rivers to practice mindfulness and healing, and more.
To further enhance the lodge’s ESG programming, a new sustainability initiative has been unveiled at Clayoquot this season. In partnership with Hakai Energy Solutions, the team has outfitted the entire property with a state-of-the-art solar and battery microgrid system. This technology will reduce the remote lodge’s diesel fuel consumption by around 80 percent each year, while the annual equivalent carbon offset is around 480,000 kilograms. Additionally, e-bikes will be available for guests to utilize during their stay.
Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge is open through September 2024.
