Vancouver Island’s reputation as a world-class travel destination has been reinforced once again, with four local hotels earning top spots on Tripadvisor’s 2025 Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best list — including the coveted first and second places in all of Canada.
Here are the Vancouver Island hotels that made the list:
- Abigail’s Hotel, Victoria – #1 in Canada
- Magnolia Hotel & Spa, Victoria – #2 in Canada
- Wickaninnish Inn, Tofino – #14 in Canada
- Parkside Hotel & Spa, Victoria – #17 in Canada
TripAdvisor’s Best of the Best awards are determined by the quantity and quality of reviews and ratings posted by travellers over 12 months. Fewer than 1% of all listings on the platform receive this level of recognition.
The strong showing by Vancouver Island hotels reflects a growing national appreciation for the region’s hospitality sector, offering visitors everything from luxury urban escapes to serene coastal retreats.
