Sointula Lodge BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA


Sointula Lodge is located on the shores of Malcolm Island, where old-growth forests meet the glassy waters of the Broughton Archipelago. This boutique, all-inclusive lodge blends luxury, adventure and pristine natural beauty. Sointula Lodge offers multi-day packages with


a focus on fishing and wildlife. Fishing here is a world-class experience set in the rich waters surrounding Malcolm Island. Guests enjoy guided adventures just minutes from the dock, targeting Pacific salmon, halibut, lingcod and other local species. Expert guides provide gear, instruction and local knowledge. Each day on the water blends exciting action with dramatic scenery, creating a tailored, private experience. The Broughton Archipelago is a striking maze


of forested islands, sheltered channels and remote inlets off north-eastern Vancouver Island; it’s considered one of the most biodiverse marine regions in the world. These waters form part of the traditional territory of the Kwakwaka’wakw people, whose villages, art and ancestral sites reflect a cultural connection spanning thousands of years.


Nearby lies the Great Bear Rainforest, an ancient ecosystem of towering cedars, salmon-rich rivers and iconic wildlife including orcas, humpbacks, dolphins, sea lions, black bears and grizzly bears. Back at the lodge, indulgence meets nature


through wellness-focused amenities. Guests can soak in an aromatic cedar tub overlooking the archipelago, unwind in a traditional Finnish sauna rooted in the island’s heritage or invigorate the senses with a cedar cold plunge. Dining is a highlight in its own right. Chefs


prepare multi-course meals using fresh local ingredients, from vibrant seafood and seasonal vegetables to decadent desserts, paired with British Columbia wines and handcrafted cocktails. Casual lunches are equally memorable, whether enjoyed on a secluded beach or aboard the lodge’s signature burger boat floating among the islands. Sointula Lodge also embraces the village’s


distinctive culture. The nearby town of Sointula is just a 15-minute e-bike ride away and celebrates its Finnish roots and cooperative heritage, making it a welcoming and creative community to explore.
