The Tigh-Na-Mara Difference

We're committed to keeping you safe and providing the best experience possible during this period.
If you need to cancel, we're flexible.

Plus, not only do we not have resort fees... we also don't have closed corridors or elevators!

Spaced amongst 22 forested and oceanview acres of West Coast forest our unique 192 accommodation units all offer immediate access to private outdoor space and are connected exclusively by open-air corridors, stairs and ramps. Come relax and unwind on 3 kms of sandy beach, local trails or in the comfort of your unit.

During this period, we've remained active in making our Resort better and better: dozens of projects have been completed. 
​We’re excited to welcome you back to Tigh-Na-Mara and show you what we've been up to!

Reconnect in nature!

Tigh-Na-Mara’s facilities remain open with the exception of the Conference Centre, and are following all BC Public Health Orders and recommended protocols. The BC Provincial Health Travel Advisory recommends all non-essential travel should be avoided.

What to expect when you arrive

• Our Team Members have all received training on hand hygiene, physical distancing and use of PPE.
• Please note: we are unable to guarantee early check ins and late check outs due to enhanced cleaning and buffer periods in rooms.

Housekeeping Considerations

Before you arrive:
In addition to our usual high cleaning standards, all guestrooms:

• Have received a thorough deep-cleaning within the past few weeks, including steam cleaning of carpets.
• Special attention given to disinfecting high-touch points including doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, telephones, toilets, sinks, faucets, garbage cans, etc.
• All linens, including sheets, towels, shower curtains, duvet covers and futon covers, are changed and laundered fresh for every guest arrival to industry standard.
• Our mattresses have encasements that offer protection from viruses, bacteria, mold, mildew, dust mites, allergens, spills and bed bugs.
• All dishware & cookware is washed and sterilized in dishwashers for every guest arrival.
• Some cookware items may have been removed and are available upon request. These are sterilized.
• In-room collateral (magazines, promotional materials, etc.) have been removed to reduce common touch points.  Please call Guest Services with any questions.
• Our vacuums have HEPA filters to capture microscopic particles including pollen, dust, bacteria and viruses.

As business levels allow:

• Guestrooms will be assigned to allow a buffer between guest stays.
• Guestrooms will be assigned to allow as much spacing between you and other guests as possible.

During your stay

• To reduce risk and promote safety for you and our Team, Housekeeping will not be providing daily cleaning service during your stay.
• We are happy to deliver any additional supplies you require.  Please call Guest Services.
• Extra bags will be provided in your guestroom to leave any dirty linens outside your guestroom by 9:30am daily.
• If there is any reason Housekeeping or Maintenance must enter your guestroom, they will wear new gloves & masks while they are there.
• Any items left behind will be discarded rather than kept in Lost & Found to reduce handling of guest items.

Please note:  Operating in this “new normal” economy means adjusting to frequent updates.  The descriptions above are subject to change based on recommendations from Worksafe BC, BC Ministry of Health and the BC Hotel Association.
