Considering purchasing resort vacation property? If you're interested in vacationing on Vancouver Island annually, we can't think of a better way to do it than with a timeshare at the WorldMark The Canadian resort in scenic Victoria. This resort offers suites with floor to ceiling windows for amazing views of the city, and there are plenty of discounted timeshares currently available on the resale market.


Best Victoria BC Resorts
(Southern Island Area)

Brentwood Bay Lodge & Spa - If you want 5-star luxury in a brand new oceanfront resort, this is it. A small, but decadent and romantic Vancouver Island resort located in Brentwood Bay (about 12 miles north of Victoria) makes you feel secluded, but close to the city. Gorgeous modern rooms and great surroundings. Make sure you reserve a trip on the water taxi (well in advance) for a visit to the very famous and stunning Butchart Gardens.

Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa

- A good resort in downtown Victoria for families, where kids get extra attention (group storytime at night with cookies and milk). Spa for mom, and a good pool for the kids. Located in Victoria's Inner Harbour - easy to walk right into downtown for shopping/sightseeing. We haven't tried the restaurant in the resort. Alternatively, it's a short walk downtown for more dining options. Try out Cafe Mexico for the best Mexican food!

Best Parksville BC Resorts
(Central Eastern Island Area)

Ocean Trails Resort - If you're looking for a beach holiday with the kids and want to stay awhile, here's a good resort. Located on a wide open beach in Parksville, it's a clean and roomy resort offering townhouse style rooms, with full kitchens. Playground for the kids and a nice pool too. Extremely well-priced, making it affordable for a family.

Beach Acres Resort - Interested in staying in a cottage on the beach or in the forest? Here's another Vancouver Island resort we'd recommend for families or for a couple wanting quiet beach time. Stay in an oceanview townhouse, or a beachfront cabin or forest cottage which separate you from everyone else. Rooms are clean and comfy. A definite must: eat at the on-site Maclure House Restaurant - excellent food.

Kingfisher Spa & Resort - Here's an oceanfront resort if you want a combined spa and ski vacation! Situated about 5 minutes south of Courtenay, this resort has an excellent spa. Resort's not far from Mount Washington - about a 35 minute drive. Excellent food in their dining room overlooking the ocean. Alternatively, head to downtown Courtenay and try one of our favourite restaurants: The Atlas Cafe (reservations are essential, and it's busy, so be prepared to wait. The food's worth it).
