Fodor's Expert Review Brentwood Bay Resort & Spa
849 Verdier Ave., Victoria, British Columbia, V8M 1C5, Canada Fodor's Choice
Every room has a private ocean-view patio or balcony at this adult-oriented boutique resort in a tiny seaside village. Handmade furniture, handsome gas fireplaces, king beds topped with crisp Italian linens, and original local art decorate each of the clean-lined, earth-toned rooms. Slate-tiled bathrooms have jetted tubs and multihead showers, and shuttered windows bring ocean views to the tub. A pair of two-bedroom oceanfront villas are equally lavish. The ocean-view restaurant and casual marine pub serve locally raised organic fare, and the spa offers an array of treatments. Nearby, you'll find local wineries, The Butchart Gardens a five-minute hop on the resort's water taxi in summer, as well as walking trails, eco-cruises, kayak, canoe, and paddleboard rentals, and a dive center.
PROS
