STAYCATIONS

Showing your mom you care doesn’t have to be expensive. We’d all love to send our mom’s away for a trip of a lifetime, but it’s not always feasible – but staycations are. Here are some of the most unique or most pampering kinds of trips in your backyard.

Wilderness Resort Getaway

Klahoose is an all-inclusive resort is only accessible by boat or seaplane. If you want to be off-the grid, this one should be your choice. It’s an all-inclusive eco-resort in the British Columbia coastal wilderness of Desolation Sound. Wake up to the views and sounds of the ocean, relax in the wood sauna and then take in all the nature with outdoor morning yoga, kayaking through the mountains or boat tours and then wind down with a campfire at night and guided Indigenous story telling.
