BEGIN YOUR 3 DAY INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE
When the coastal Great Bear Rainforest is your oyster, there’s really no right way to spend your days.
Built in harmony with nature, half of the resort is floating in the peaceful bay, while the other half is grounded on a small out-cropping of land.
There are 6 cabins situated along the waterfront (intertidal cabins) and 3 cabins located next to the waterfall and stream (forest cabins). All cabins have 2 bedrooms, with various sleeping arrangements, a bathroom, living area, and balcony.
The lodge, kitchen, fitness room and fire dock are all floating and accessed by a tidal walkway.
At the heart of the Nimmo Bay lies a cascading waterfall which provides clean drinking water and natural hydro-energy.
At the base of the waterfall is a natural plunge pool, 2 cedar-sided hot tubs and a heated rain shower.
Nimmo Bay offers guests 2 beautiful treatment spaces for massage - alongside the waterfall and stilted above the beach. There is also a dedicated yoga studio.
A short boat ride or paddle away, guests can escape to a floating, wood-fired sauna.
