Sunset Island Resort is a sophisticated 4.5-acre enclave that redefines the "fishing lodge" archetype. Instead of rustic camp-style living, guests are treated to meticulously crafted cedar architecture and modern luxury in a remote wilderness setting. The island serves as a prime base for anglers targeting Chinook and Coho salmon, while also offering a tranquil sanctuary for those who prefer eagle watching and whale spotting from the comfort of a hot tub. It is a destination where "off-grid" meets high-end living, featuring manicured gardens, expansive decks, and some of the most dramatic mountain-to-sea vistas in British Columbia.
Accommodations & Design The estate features a centralized Main Lodge and three luxury guest chalets, all constructed from local cedar and Douglas fir with floor-to-ceiling glass.
The Chalets: Each cabin offers independent living spaces, private bathrooms, and cozy fireplaces. They are strategically positioned along the shoreline to ensure that every guest wakes up to views of the Bute Inlet.
The Main Lodge: The social heart of the island, featuring a grand dining hall, a professional-grade kitchen, a library, and a massive wrap-around deck.
Design: Authentic West Coast modern aesthetic, featuring vaulted ceilings, indigenous art, and radiant heating for the cool coastal evenings.
Amenities & Inclusions The resort is equipped for serious marine adventure and relaxation:
The Marina: A large private dock system with shore power and water, capable of accommodating multiple private vessels or chartered fishing boats.
Wellness & Leisure: A large outdoor hot tub with views of the rapids, a wood-fired sauna, and a fire pit area for evening storytelling.
Wildlife & Adventure: Guests have access to kayaks and paddleboards. The resort is located in a high-activity corridor for grizzly bears (boat tours available), orcas, and humpback whales.
Culinary: While typically self-catered, the resort can coordinate private chefs and staff to provide a full-service experience tailored to guest preferences.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Sunset Island is absolute. As a small, self-contained island off the coast of Stuart Island, there is no public access or shared facilities. The property is designed with a "perched" perspective, offering sweeping views of the surrounding channels while remaining largely invisible from passing boats. The gated-style nature of the island makes it a preferred choice for high-profile individuals and corporate boards who require a secure environment where they can discuss business or relax with family without intrusion.
