Romantic Getaways in British Columbia & Romantic Vacations

Canada's western-most province, British Columbia, is well-known for its beautiful
scenery, which set the perfect tone for a variety of romantic getaways. BC's west
coast is a particular favourite for both romantic vacations and romantic weekend
getaways. The capital city of Victoria,
on spectacular Vancouver Island, is located just a 90-minute ferry
ride from the bustling metropolis of Vancouver. Or perhaps the two of you
would like to visit the Sunshine Coast instead, a 40-minute ferry ride from
Horseshoe Bay in Vancouver. Both of these locations offer a wide variety of
restaurants, spas and excursions, which are perfect for a romantic getaway in
British Columbia.
If you have the time, a trip to some of the Gulf Islands is well worth it
- the islands offer stunning beauty in a quieter and romantic setting. Anywhere on
the west coast you'll find lots to do together - city attractions, fun festivals,
art galleries to explore, year-round outdoor recreation (include whale-watching!),
delicious fresh seafood, and spectacular scenery. One particular favourite is
taking a horse-drawn carriage ride through the city of Victoria as a part of
your BC romantic getaway.
Looking for a romantic getaway in the mountains? Head out to Whistler,
the popular resort-town located 120 km from Vancouver. Many romantic accommodations
are available in town, but what makes it even better is that the town is nestled in
a beautiful natural setting. Stroll hand-in-hand through the town; take a wildlife
or sightseeing tour; go for a wagon ride; or enjoy an unforgettable mountain-top
dining experience. Any of these activities are sure to make your romantic getaway
in British Columbia a memorable one. Whistler is, of course, famous for its skiing
and snowboarding as well.
The BC Rockies is a memorable romantic destination as well, including the spectacular
Mount Robson Park – just one hour from better-known Jasper National Park. Or settle into
the sunny Thompson-Okanagan region for your romantic getaway, and enjoy a winery tour
(or two!). Seeking a private spot where the two of you can quietly absorb nature's
beauty? Head out to the Cariboo-Chilcotin region with its unique scenery and country feel.
British Columbia romantic getaways offer plenty to see and do for couples seeking an
escape from everyday life. Whether you want to be pampered at a luxurious resort, or you
just to be secluded in your own private cottage, Heavenly Hideaways represents
some of the most exclusive and romantic getaways in British Columbia, Canada!
