A US publisher has released Canada’s top 25 resorts and three of Vancouver Island’s have made the list.
Using a comprehensive methodology, US News & World Report identified the best hotels and resorts on a global scale.
Their results are based on three components: reputation among professional travel experts, guest reviews and hotel class ratings.
According to this rating system, the determined best Vancouver Island resorts for 2025 are Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa, Clayoquot Wilderness Resort and Delta Hotels by Marriott Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort.

Brentwood Bay Resort is located on a serene, ocean-front property. Charming and luxurious, this 33 room boutique resort is a go-to for many travelers and those in search of a romantic getaway.
They offer a variety of vacation packages, so you can tailor your stay to what you truly desire, whether that be relaxing at the spa, indulging in their exceptional cuisine or treating a loved one to a weekend of romance.
Tucked away on the wild, rugged west coast of Vancouver Island, Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge offers a breathtaking retreat that you can only access by a scenic 45-minute seaplane flight from Vancouver, or a 35-minute boat ride from Tofino.
Clayoquot offers 25 opulent white canvas tents that redefine the “glamping” experience. Each tent comes with a private deck, and twenty of them feature en suite bathrooms with heated floors for that perfect blend of comfort and ruggedness.
Some even include outdoor cedar showers, adding a touch of rustic indulgence to your stay.
Established in 2000, the resort is open seasonally from May through September, offering you an exclusive slice of paradise spread across 600 acres of pristine wilderness.
Lastly, Delta Hotels by Marriott Ocean Pointe Resort is set against the picturesque backdrop of Victoria’s Inner Harbour, and offers guests an elegant atmosphere in the downtown core.
There, guests can access a wondrous variety of activities, such as whale watching expeditions, exploring lush forests and coastal trails by bike, or hiking through rugged landscapes to discover hidden waterfalls and breathtaking viewpoints.
If you’re feeling like sticking around town, the Delta’s convenient location allows you to easily walk or water taxi to local attractions, including Fan Tan Alley, Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, and more.
Prices may vary depending on the season and number of guests, but the average price for a one bedroom, two guest hotel room starts at $199 a night for Brentwood Bay Resort, a whopping $3,300 per night at Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, and $254 a night for the Delta Hotel.
If you’re feeling like an adventure or getaway is needed, and you have the means to do so, these three might be the perfect place to start looking!
