Weekend Getaways From Vancouver

Hornby Island

A post shared by Hornby Island (@hornbyisland)

This hidden gem is often described as being a world of wonders, with its pristine sandy beaches, lush forests and starry skies. It’s a little bit of a trek, as visitors will have to take three ferries to get from the Lower Mainland to the magical little island. But once you arrive, you’ll quickly realize it was totally worth it. It’s home to the breathtaking Tribune Bay, which has incredible emerald green waters.

Location: Take a ferry to Nanaimo, drive to Buckley Bay and take a ferry to Denman Island and then drive over to Gravelly Bay to take the final ferry to Hornby Island.

Emerald Lake Lodge

This is easily one of the most beautiful places in the province. Emerald Lake Lodge can be found nestled in the serene Yoho National Park. Anyone whose travelled here knows it’s heaven on earth. It’s an eight hour drive away from Vancouver, but there are so many sights to see along the way as you travel through Kamloops and Revelstoke.

Location: Yoho National Park, Field

Wickaninnish Inn

It’s always a vacation in Tofino, as time just seems to stand still when you’re on island time. When in the surfer town, stay at the charming Wickaninnish Inn for a truly memorable experience. The beachfront resort and spa is right on nature’s edge, where you can see all the beauty surrounding you as soon as you wake up.

Location: 500 Osprey Lane, Tofino

Nimmo Bay Wilderness Resort

A post shared by Doets Reizen (@doetsreizen)

This one-of-a-kind getaway offers a secluded retreat in nature, nestled in BC’s incredible Great Bear Rainforest. It’s so remote, that you’ll have to fly in. You can catch a seaplane from Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo or Tofino. The resort is made up of a series of cozy chalets right by the water with unbelievable wilderness views.

Location: 100 Little Nimmo Bay, Mackenzie Sound, Mount Waddington

Johnson Lake

A post shared by Robyn (@robynkalnins)

Escape to the beautiful area of Barriere to discover this spectacular lake that is known as being the clearest body of water in BC. Many have compared the crystal clear waters found here to what you would see in the Caribbean. Therefore, you’ll definitely feel like you’re on vacation and may never want to even come back.

Location: Barriere, just north of Kamloops

Calvert Island

A post shared by 604 Now (@604now)

Much like Nimmo Bay, you can find this piece of paradise in the Great Bear Rainforest region, just north of Port Hardy. The remote island is home to a variety of secluded bays, coves and lagoons that you must explore at least once. It also seems much more tropical than what you’d expect to find in the province. In fact, this destination is often referred to as the Caribbean of BC.

Location: On the southern edge of the Great Bear Rainforest, just north of Port Hardy

Sombrio Beach

There is plenty to see and do at this beautiful beach nestled in Juan De Fuca Provincial Park on Vancouver Island. It’s the perfect weekend getaway for adventurers, with lots to explore in the area. It’s even home to a stunning waterfall that is hidden inside a cave. It’s also a popular spot for surfing, camping and picnicking.

Location: Juan De Fuca Provincial Park, Vancouver Island

A cozy stay that will make you feel like you’re in a real-life Hallmark movie is not as faraway as you might think. In fact — it’s tucked away right in the Fraser Valley.

Langley’s Princess and the Pea Hotel is the perfect place to be whisked away for a romantic weekend this holiday season. Or anytime, really.

RELATED: Cozy Date Ideas For Fall In Metro Vancouver

The charming hotel draws inspiration from all your favourite fairytales (quite literally). It’s even in the name. And in keeping with that theme, each of its six rooms is based on a different character.

They include: Sleeping Beauty, Tinkerbell, Snow White, Little Red Ridinghood, Goldilocks and Cinderella.

Each room features WiFi, cable TV, deep soaker tubs (except Tinkerbell), Italian bed and bath linens and a mini fridge stocked with bottled water. There’s also a wraparound veranda and parking available on-site.

This hidden gem has been welcoming guests both near and far since opening back in 1998. Originally built in the 1880s, the space is brimming with history

Hume Hotel is one of the province’s oldest hotels which also makes sense why people consider it to be one of the most haunted places too.

The hotel is located in the small hippie community of Nelson. The hotel first opened in 1898 and was one of the most modern accommodations of its kind at the time—with electric lights and steam radiators.

RELATED: This Century-Old Theatre May Be One of the Most Haunted Spots in Vancouver

But over the many years it has been in business, guests have reported some pretty eerie findings. Some say there was a feeling of being watched. They speculate that it may be the ghosts of the owners or the spirits of people who have been there before them.

Most of the stories are about Room #335 specifically, which no longer exists after a renovation project took place.

Hume Hotel Then

Photo: Hume Hotel

Multiple guests have said they have seen a well-dressed man wearing a bowler-hat who goes around checking to make sure the hotel is up to par. That ghost is actually known around the Kootenay region as being a ‘caretaker ghost’.

Other creepy moments include: taps dripping when they’re off and TVs turning on and off randomly.

One paranormal expert, Chris Holland visited the Hume Hotel and even worked on a short film called Haunt at the Hume—outlining his exploration of the hotel with the Nelson Paranormal League. Holland is one of the many who believe the hotel is full of ‘caretaker ghosts’ and that people should stay on their good side.

Hume Hotel Now

But despite its eerie past and all the spooky ghost tales, it remains a popular place for people to stay. The boutique hotel has a lot of modern touches to it and is one of the town’s most popular accommodations.

Escape to the quaint Mayne Island for a romantic weekend getaway or for a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Cob Cottage is an an hour-and-a-half ferry ride from Tsawwassen and then you can find this little slice of a heaven just a ten minute drive away from the terminal.

According to Airbnb, this is also one of their most “wish listed” property in the entire country.

RELATED: This Glamping Getaway In Halfmoon Bay Will Take Your Breath Away

Hobbit House

The cozy Cob Cottage is nestled on private property and completely immersed in nature. There’s a house nearby where the host lives but the hobbit house is secluded amongst lush trees and wildlife.

You can open your front door to see sheep wandering around and feed them apples from the orchard. Chickens and other farm animals are also lurking around the acreage.

What makes the accommodation even more unique is that it’s made from cob—a natural building material that is made from subsoil, water and sometimes lime. Cob houses are fireproof and earthquake-proof.

Plus, they’re just adorable. It looks like something out of a fairytale and that feeling is amplified when you walk through the door.

String lights, plants and candles make up the decor in the 650-square-foot space. The rustic and homey touches will make you never want to leave this haven.

It features a double bed, futon, wood-burning stove, reading nook near the fireplace, lots of books, board games and more.

The island also has lots of small-town charm to offer. Explore the serene Japanese garden, lighthouse park and little boutique shops.

It is definitely a popular destination though, so bookings are usually done months in advance. If you want to call this place home for a week or weekend be sure to  plan ahead.
