Nestled among 22 acres of tranquil forest on the shore of a sandy beach on Vancouver Island’s east coast, Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort offers a rustic and cosy retreat for your next getaway.

Choose between ocean-view rooms with balconies and fireplaces, spa bungalows with kitchenettes and living areas, or rustic cottages with wood-burning fireplaces and decks. All rooms are pet-friendly and have free WiFi.

As its name suggests, this is a place that thoroughly shows off when it comes to spa treatments. Tigh-Na-Mara is home to the award-winning Grotto Spa, the largest resort spa in British Columbia, which features a mineral pool, relaxation lounge, and full range of treatments. When you’re finished getting pampered, wander upstairs to The Treetop Tapas & Grill, a unique dining experience in the Grotto Spa overlooking the forest.
