Barkley Sound is the large protected inlet on which Ucluelet sits, home to the Broken Group Islands archipelago that comprises 100 islands and islets of outstanding wilderness character perfect for sea kayaking and scuba diving in clear, cold Pacific water teeming with marine life. The MV Frances Barkley provides passenger and cargo service to the remote communities and the Broken Group Islands, making Barkley Sound accessible to non-kayakers. Hotels in Ucluelet serve as the base for guided kayak trips, diving excursions, and fishing charters throughout Barkley Sound.
Our Picks — Ucluelet
Peninsula / Wild Pacific Trail (near Big Beach)
A modern, lodge-style resort perched above the Pacific, designed for dramatic “storm-watching” season as much as summer sun. Expect big, apartment-style suites with balconies, plus spa-forward amenities and a front-row seat to the Wild Pacific Trail.
Terrace Beach / Peninsula Road
A collection of self-contained cabins tucked beside Terrace Beach, where mornings start with salt air and end with a fire after a long coastal hike. The appeal is simple and timeless: full kitchens, warm interiors, and the beach practically at your doorstep.
Ucluelet Harbour / Inlet waterfront
Set right on the inlet, these spacious suites turn Ucluelet’s working harbour into your living-room view. Many rooms feel more like private apartments—kitchens, fireplaces, and deep comfort—ideal for travelers who like to settle in between beach drives and park hikes.
Ucluelet Harbour / Marina
A long-running harbour landmark with classic coastal-lodge character and a true marina address. Rooms skew practical and good-value, but the real draw is the balcony-and-water view lifestyle—boats in the morning, eagles overhead, and everything walkable in town.
Downtown Harbourfront / near Ucluelet Harbour
A polished motel-style stay that punches above its weight, thanks to harbour-facing balconies and well-equipped suites. The bonus is the amenity set—pool, sauna, and fitness options—making it a reliable base for wet-weather days and shoulder-season trips.
Ucluelet Harbour / Marina waterfront
Small, personal, and positioned on the water where Ucluelet feels most like a harbour village. Suites are known for warm, wood-forward details and calm marina views—perfect for slow mornings, coffee on the deck, and an easy stroll into town.
