And glamorous it is, from deluxe tents adorned with Adirondack beds, antique furnishings, and Persian rugs to a cosseting wellness center and critically acclaimed, natural cuisine. Days are filled hiking and kayaking, whale and bear watching, even swimming with salmon; be sure to join a guided horseback ride to Bear City, an abandoned mining town. And in the spirit of good stewardship, the resort’s Environmental Legacy Program encourages families to participate in such interactive projects as bear mapping and salmon habitat restoration. Three- to seven-night packages include return floatplane transfer; all meals, snacks, and beverages; guided and unguided activities; massage services (depending upon length of stay); and more. Virtuoso guests also enjoy a complimentary upgrade upon arrival, if available; one additional spa treatment per person, per stay; one two-hour cooking class with executive chef or sous-chef; and late checkout, if available. From CAD4,750 (approx. US$4,670) per person, per package. 48 Virtuoso insights Photo ©Clayoquot Wilderness Resort
