Escape to Naturally Pacific Resort: A Winter Wonderland on Vancouver Island

Campbell River offers the perfect playground for winter activities

Located on the calm and sheltered coast of Vancouver Island, Campbell River’s Naturally Pacific Resort offers the perfect winter retreat for those seeking adventure and relaxation.

From the deep powder of Mount Washington Alpine Resort, some of the world’s best cold-water diving, and year-round golf at Campbell River Golf Club, there’s something for everyone. The coastal city’s unique location, nestled between the peaks of Strathcona Provincial Park and the famed Discovery Passage, provides visitors with the ultimate range of ocean-to-alpine adventures. Embrace the winter months while discovering the charm of a quieter, more tranquil side of Vancouver Island.

Embrace cooler days by warming up at Naturally Pacific Resort’s Immersion Spa & Wellness, with invigorating treatments inspired by the Island’s natural beauty. Guests can enjoy the magnesium-rich Mineral Pool and Experience Showers – an innovative spa experience designed by Italian wellness innovators, Aquaform. A perfect blend of chromotherapy, aquatherapy, aromatherapy and sound therapy, there’s nothing better to soothe away seasonal stresses.

A short 40-minute drive from the resort, Mount Washington Alpine Resort provides easy access to the slopes. The mountain receives an annual average of 11.5 meters of snowfall each year, and offers a variety of groomed runs and expansive terrain for both novice and advanced skiers. Snowshoeing enthusiasts can enjoy scenic trails on Mount Washington or venture into Strathcona Provincial Park for a peaceful winter wilderness experience.

For those who crave adventure beneath the surface, Campbell River is known locally as one of the Cold-Water Diving Capitals of Canada. Winter months bring crystal-clear visibility in the Discovery Passage, revealing an underwater world teeming with life. Local operator OceanFix offers guided dives, where divers can encounter giant Pacific octopus, vibrant marine flora, and an impressive array of fish and crustaceans.

Nature lovers will also delight in winter hiking at Elk Falls Provincial Park. The majestic waterfall, surrounded by frozen rock formations and shimmering icicles, creates a mesmerizing winter landscape.

Back at Naturally Pacific Resort, Executive Chef Ryan Watson presents a modern, flavorful menu at Carve Kitchen & Meatery. Featuring locally sourced ingredients from Vancouver Island farmers, alongside expertly crafted cocktails and a curated wine list, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a cozy, delicious meal after a day of adventure. In the heart of Campbell River, Beachfire Brewing Company is a local favourite, offering craft beers and hearty meals and for the ultimate warm up, Shelter Point Distillery offers a range of approachable tasting experiences that highlight the island’s coastal influence on their renowned single malt whiskies.
