Canada Luxury Holidays

Whether you’re flying over the Kluane glaciers in a private bush plane, canoeing down the Bow River in search of bears or toasting the day with a martini atop Montreal’s famed William Gray rooftop terrace, expect luxury and leisure at every corner of your Canadian adventure. Blessed with the purest air, freshest water and a generous annual snowfall, you can expect to feel invigorated after a day dogsledding in Banff, swimming in the Lac Saint-Alexis, or hiking through Whistler’s natural nirvana of sweeping meadows, ancient forests and glassy glacier-fed lakes.

Canada also makes sure to bring its A game all year round. In the summer, chic cosy cabins along the Salish Sea turn into charming beach huts, while luxurious winter lodges, high in the snow-capped Rockies, become hikers’ havens. For complete sophistication and solitude, nowhere quite beats Fogo Island Inn. Situated on an island (off another island) on the northeast coast of Newfoundland, its bold design brims with cultural clout and modern opulence. Stargaze in their outdoor hot tubs, snowshoe along the island’s coastal trails and watch 10,000-year-old icebergs float past your window as you amble round the inn’s impressive art gallery and cosy library. This is Canada luxury holidays at their very best.

The way Canada combines luxury and wilderness is like the way whiskey and bitters mix together to make the perfect old fashioned – it’s hard to beat. Feel like you’re at the edge of the world on the breath-taking Saguenay Fjord; climb its craggy cliffs and kayak along its sapphire seas (as you excitably wait for sightings of beluga whales), knowing that your rustic cabin - complete with a roaring fire and hearty homemade treats - is waiting for you on your return. Or, if heights pose no fear, take to the skies to see Canada in all its splendour. Fly over the Niagara Falls and the Thousand Islands, which like the name suggests, is a collection of almost two thousand tiny islands shouldered together in breath-taking patterns that can only truly be appreciated from the air. Really, the only snag with Canada luxury holidays is your return date.
