Remote feeling, windswept and astoundingly beautiful, Vancouver Island is scattered with colourful communities, most of them founded on fishing or logging, and home to friendly locals proud of their island and its uniqueness. The best hotels on Vancouver Island are equally well scattered, some in the wild, rugged interior, some along the western coast where there’s amazing views of the ocean and equally amazing surfing, and some in the foodie-friendly Cowichan Valley.
Our Guru’s recommendations for 10 of the best hotels on Vancouver Island include some great apartment and cottage options if you’re travelling with your family, plus a super romantic retreat if you’re just travelling with your significant other. But either way, we hope you find something perfect on our list of the best hotels on Vancouver Island.
