Positioned on the sheltered southern tip of Vancouver Island just a short drive from Victoria, Oak Bay Beach lends itself equally well to coastal relaxation and island explorations. Its location close to the charming village of Oak Bay provides easy access to a wealth of coastal and forest trails, as well as whale watching cruises and fishing charters. For a dose of culture, the city of Victoria is also within easy reach, overflowing with museums, galleries and world-class restaurants.
The hotel has been a stalwart of the island’s hospitality scene since the late 1920s. Exteriors suggest an air of a traditional country manor house, but inside a lavish refurbishment has introduced a feel of contemporary luxury. 100 rooms and suites have been furnished in a classic, soothing palette, but particular attention has been paid to the exceedingly comfortable ‘Dream’ beds, and also to the en suite bathrooms with their heated floors and inviting soaking tubs. The decision on whether or not to upgrade to an ocean view room is a fairly obvious one, but it is also worth considering a further upgrade to one of the expansive suites, which allow you to breath in the invigorating Pacific air from your private terrace or balcony.
