Whether you want to start planning for a romantic weekend getaway for Valentine’s Day or simply take advantage of the many beautiful resorts our province has to offer, now is as good a time as any to check out what’s available. From quaint bed & breakfasts to luxury lodges, here are 10 great options when it comes to romantic resorts in BC.

Watermark Beach Resort

We’re starting off with one of our fave spots to unwind on a BC staycation. With extremely spacious condo-style rooms that still feel cozy and intimate, you definitely can’t go wrong at Watermark in Osoyoos. And with that stunning blue water just steps from the resort, you’ll never want to leave. Picture lazy mornings watching the sunrise from your balcony, going for leisurely walks along the promenade, and of course, indulging in fine dining (and some of the best wine in the Valley) at Park 15 Bistro.

Oh, and they have pet-friendly rooms too if you and your S/O want to bring your fur baby along!

Where: 15 Park Place, Osoyoos

Nita Lake Lodge

Ranked as the #1 resort in BC last year, Nita Lake Lodge in Whistler is a top-notch stay, perfect for special occasions. The resort is renowned for its classic winter hospitality in a modern, boutique hotel space. Surrounded by a stunning glacier-fed lake and the vibrant village of Creekside, Nita Lake makes for the ultimate getaway from the city’s hustle and bustle. From cocktails at the Cure Lounge & Patio to their rooftop hot tubs, relaxation is a huge focus.

Where: 2131 Lake Placid Road

Halcyon Hot Springs

Whether you’re in it for the hot springs, the resort and complimentary breakfast, or both – Halycon Hot Springs is a gorgeous destination. The hot springs’ focus lies on the healing qualities of their mineral-rich pools. With reasonable day rates and a waterfront location on Upper Arrow Lake, it’s definitely worth planning a weekend trip around.

Where: Central Kootenays, near Naskup

For a zanier pick, consider Tofino’s Hotel Zed. Having opened back in August 2020, Hotel Zed offers a mid-century modern aesthetic with all the amenities and activities you’ll ever need. Stroll along the beach all day hand-in-hand, then order some takeout from in town and enjoy it on your balcony. Or, if you’re going for more of an AirStream vibe – check out their vintage ‘Zedstreams’ in Victoria.

Where: 1258 Pacific Rim Highway, Tofino

Fairmont Chateau Whistler

Yes, another Whistler pick – enter Fairmont Chateau, with over 500 beautiful rooms to choose from. Their Alpine Suites come with spa showers, a fireplace, and sweeping mountain views, while the Fairmont Gold Floor now boasts an exclusive 8th-floor reception area and lounge. Think “hotel within a hotel.”

Plus, the team at The Grill Room delivers an exceptional dining experience, complete with a signature stone fireplace to warm you up after a full day on the slopes.

Where: 4599 Chateau Boulevard

Tuwanek Hotel

The Tuwanek Hotel is a couple-oriented luxury stay, that doubles as a bed & breakfast and a spa. In addition to healing spa treatments and stunning rooms, guests will have sweeping ocean and mountain views to take in during their stay. Think quaint sunshine coast retreat with plenty of open space and nature to feel completely private.
