About Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island has the feel of a place that time forgot. Covered with lush green meadows and woods, pretty fishing villages and farmhouses, rich terracotta-coloured soil and wonderful sandy beaches. The best places to stay in Prince Edward Island are gathered both around the main town, Charlottetown, and in the smaller villages and hamlets. As charming as the island itself, the hotels tend to be elegant, traditional, affairs. Perfect for cosying up after a day spent outdoors.
The island is famed for inspiring the book ‘Anne of Green Gables’. Travellers coming to the island in search of a whiff of nostalgia won’t be disappointed, as the pastoral landscapes described stand true today. A particularly scenic part of the island is the Prince Edward Island National Park. Here the dunes, wetlands and forests brim with amazing flora and fauna, and there are also some incredible coastal ecosystems.
As a fairly self-sufficient island, it is fast becoming a foodie destination, particularly known for its shellfish, lobsters and oysters. During the summer months this is an unsurprisingly popular destination with Canadians, so to ensure a room at one of the best places to stay on Prince Edward Island we recommend booking well in advance.
