A Wellness Retreat
Relaxing and Recharging at West Coast Wilderness Lodge in Egmont, BC
Every once in a while, life calls for a break—a real one. A getaway where you can unplug from the daily grind, reconnect with nature, and recharge your soul. That’s exactly what I found on my recent retreat to West Coast Wilderness Lodge in Egmont, BC, and let me tell you, it was pure, blissful magic.
Nestled on the Sunshine Coast, the West Coast Wilderness Lodge offers a perfect blend of untouched natural beauty and deep, soul-nourishing serenity. I was there with In Great Company, a group of like-minded creatives and entrepreneurs, and we soaked up every bit of what this special place has to offer.
Egmont is an ideal spot for a wellness retreat, but the West Coast Wilderness Lodge elevates it to another level entirely. Situated on a cliff overlooking the ocean, with forested mountains all around, it’s like being wrapped in nature’s most luxurious blanket. The lodge itself feels intimate and welcoming, yet offers expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and fjords that stretch as far as the eye can see.
From the moment I arrived, I could feel my shoulders drop, my breathing slow, and a sense of calm take over. The setting is everything you could want from a wellness retreat—quiet, remote, and surrounded by the kind of natural beauty that simply melts away the stress of everyday life.
Nature’s Healing Power
At West Coast Wilderness Lodge, it’s all about reconnecting with nature, and trust me, the surroundings make it effortless. Whether you're hiking through lush forest trails, kayaking through the serene waters, or just sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the inlet, the beauty of Egmont grounds you in the present moment. There’s something so incredibly healing about being in a place where the wildness of nature meets such peaceful tranquility.
During my stay, the experience was nothing short of magical—especially the food. Despite a power outage at dinner that only added to the beautiful, candle-lit ambiance, we were served gourmet, mouth-watering dishes that showcased the finest local ingredients. Each meal was a delight, with flavors so rich and fresh that they perfectly complemented the rugged yet serene surroundings. After a morning spent soaking in the forest, I enjoyed a delightful open-air breakfast overlooking the serene inlet, with every bite made even more satisfying by the crisp ocean breeze and stunning views.
Each individual cottage at West Coast Wilderness Lodge is wonderfully equipped and beautifully appointed, offering the perfect mix of comfort and luxury. The shower was a true indulgence, and from the private patio, nature felt right at your doorstep, with breathtaking views that made every moment feel extraordinary.
One thing I loved about West Coast Wilderness Lodge is how flexible it is as a wellness destination. Whether you’re coming solo for a little me-time (which, let’s be real, is the ultimate form of self-care) or bringing a group of friends, the lodge caters to all kinds of wellness journeys. There’s something so empowering about giving yourself permission to unwind, whether that’s on your own or with a supportive community like In Great Company.
This retreat wasn’t just about slowing down—it was about creating meaningful connections. I found deep inspiration not only in the stunning surroundings but in the conversations we had around the fire, over dinner, or while out kayaking. That sense of shared experience made everything more enriching, reminding me why community is such an important part of wellness.
