Our pièce de résistance on its own peninsula—secluded on the resort’s farthest corner and facing the sea—Sea Lion House is a singular kind of sanctuary wherein art, architecture and nature are seamlessly woven.

One of the largest commissions of B.C. art is contained within, including glass monoliths by Markian Olynyk and cedar story poles by Philip Gray. Works by West Coast artists also fill the lodge’s four suites, which take inspiration from each of the seasons. In the great room stands a towering fireplace on one side and sky-high windows on the other, with doors that lead to a terrace overlooking Innes Passage.

Sea Lion House has its own outdoor covered seating area. On the mezzanine, a billiards room, home theatre and wet bar facilitates after-dinner entertainment. And on the roof, a hot tub for a late-night soak with stars of the celestial kind.
