Sonora Resort

Less than an hour by seaplane from Vancouver, Canada, Sonora Resort pairs quiet luxury with thrilling outdoor adventure. This magnificent Resorts & Great Hotels affiliate, named a Connoisseur’s Choice 2005, lures with stunning wilderness surroundings along British Columbia’s majestic west coast. Eight lodges house a variety of upscale accommodations, while the dining—from fresh oysters to sizzling buffalo tapas—is an epicurean adventure.

A selection of á la carte activities means unparalleled flexibility. If you’re a sport fisherman, join an expert guided hunt for the region’s legendary salmon. If total pampering is your pleasure, the Wellness Center offers an array of sensational treatments. Once-in-a-lifetime adventures include eco-tours in search of grizzlies or exotic marine life and heli-tours to pristine lakes. When you’re not backcountry kayaking, stay in and enjoy the resort’s private theater, interactive golf simulator and excellent wine cellar.
