Search luxury tents in Vancouver Island

It was my first time glamping and I was blown away by the luxury and beauty of the set up. The owner thought of everything and the kitchen was amazing. The layout was so well planned with a hidden outdoor shower behind the kitchen for privacy (except all of nature around you). The view was spectacular and the deck was surrounded by wildflowers. The tent was huge and we enjoyed the seating area inside when it got a little buggy at dusk.

We had a great time at Luxfino. This is a truly remote location — no other houses or people around. You might spot an occasional distant boat, but otherwise, it’s just you and nature. The tent is very comfortable and securely anchored with heavy chains. We stayed during strong winds and rain, and it held up beautifully. The stove heats the tent well, but we barely used it — it stayed warm inside (19°C) even when it was 15°C outside. The outdoor kitchen is well-equipped for cooking what you bring. There is a small fridge for your food. The outdoor shower has hot water and offers a unique chance to enjoy nature while you wash. We stayed July 7–11 and swam daily — the water was warmer than the air. In case of emergency, there’s a satellite phone or internet access, even if you didn’t purchase this service in advance, you can activate it at any time. We didn’t do any hiking - it’s a bit of a trip in a canoe + tide schedule to manage. But we did lots of swimming and yoga for exercise. I highly recommend booking a trip with Andres during your stay— we did the Forage and Feast, which was delightful and delicious. Totally worth it. Wildlife sightings were amazing: otters, seals, whales!

I don’t believe there was a breakfast so we made our own. We loved the bee tour and so did the kids. They learned so much and the granny that does the tour is an incredible bee-keeper. The kids were also over the moon with the zip line. I saw some other kids spending a lot of time in the sand pit with the trucks.
