Qualicum Beach Inn  

On Qualicum Beach — literally steps from the sand (about 25 metres). Minutes from the Qualicum Beach Visitor Centre and Memorial Golf Club, and roughly a 15-minute drive to Parksville Beach and Nanaimo Airport.

Ocean-view boutique hotel with 32 well-appointed, air-conditioned rooms. Expect panoramic sunsets across the Georgia Strait and a clean, contemporary vibe. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, minibars/refrigerators, private bathrooms with designer toiletries, and simple work desks.

Dive into an indoor heated pool and whirlpool, unwind in a cedar-plank dry sauna (6am–10pm), or hit the fitness center. Free self-parking and concierge services keep things easy. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and stroll to the beach in seconds.

Conference center and meeting room space (about 1,195 sq ft) for events and weddings. Complimentary wireless internet and in-room desks help keep work on schedule.

Qualicum Beach Café serves contemporary coastal fare with ocean views and daily Happy Hour (3–5pm). Room service is available during limited hours for low-key, late returns from the beach or the golf course.
