Enjoy your break in nature, with access to endless trails and pristine rainforest, or take the short drive into downtown Sechelt, BC and explore all the local community has to offer.
The Stay Wilder Experience
Stay Wilder is a mindfully curated, off-grid glamping experience that combines comfort and ease with planet-friendly, nature-focused travel. Our dome accommodations are designed to immerse you in the beauty of the Sunshine Coast while supporting regenerative tourism. Our goal is to offer a luxurious, immersive experience without compromising the natural beauty and integrity of the precious forest ecosystem on the Sunshine Coast. Bottom line – we’re good for people and for planet.
On-site Hosts
Our on-site hosts love to spend their time outdoors, and share Stay Wilder’s mission of protecting our pristine natural environment, keeping it available for others to enjoy for years to come. Our on-site hosts greet you upon arrival, answer any questions you have and offer hands-on support if needed.
The Stay Wilder community kitchen is shared by the 6 domes at our off-grid, ecotourism resort. The preparation and cooking area comes complete with a large stainless steel table, Ooni pizza oven, a Biolite FirePit grill, a Webber BBQ, and a Biolite pellet-fueled campstove.
If you have any further questions or need personalized advice, please reach out to our host team—it would be our pleasure to assist you in any way we can. We’re here to help you embrace the wild side, while doing good for our planet!
Being off-grid means our site operates independently of conventional utilities. We utilize renewable solar energy sources, eco-friendly waste management, and water-conservation practices to create a luxurious and environmentally conscious retreat space. This also means you’ll experience a more natural, unplugged environment.
We offer a six geodesic domes in a pacific northwest rainforest setting, where each dome has been placed where land was previously cleared to prevent further destruction to the natural landscape. Each dome is thoughtfully designed with natural materials, comfortable furnishings, and modern amenities that respect the surrounding environment.
We encourage you to “unplug” while you are with us and therefore, we have chosen a WIFI free zone. Your cell phone will have reception on site and you will have a battery pack in your dome to provide power (courtesy of our solar grid) for charging low wattage electronics.
While we emphasize a back-to-nature experience, we ensure comfort with:
No need to pack extra linens or towels! We provide towels, organic sheets, wool duvets, and essential toiletries so you can travel light and focus on the experience.
While we provide many essentials, consider bringing:
We welcome well behaved pets at Stay Wilder. Please keep in mind that we are in a wildlife rich zone and some pets may be overstimulated. We ask you to keep your pets on leash while on property and request that they be quiet so as not to disturb guests who may not be as pet friendly.
Specific times can vary slightly by season so please refer to your booking confirmation for details.
Meal options vary by package. Our packaged stays include pre-prepared meals from our local kitchen team with all the instructions and cooking implements you’ll need to make fabulous meals. If you’d prefer to bring your own food, our community kitchen is yours to use during your stay. Check your booking details to see what’s included, and feel free to inquire about our local dining partnerships.
Our glamping site is nestled in a 160-acre forest just 15 minutes from the village of Sechelt on the Sunshine Coast, offering easy access to pristine natural surroundings— from lush forest trails to nearby beaches—while providing a serene escape from urban life.
Our glamping experience is designed for adults only. The serene, nature-immersed environment is particularly appealing for those looking to disconnect and unwind. If you’d like to book the entire property you are welcome to bring younger family members.
The Sunshine Coast is renowned for its natural beauty and outdoor activities. You can enjoy:
If you are coming to the Sunshine Coast from the mainland, you will need to book and take a ferry. This is a 40 min trip from Vancouver or a longer sailing if coming from Vancouver Island. Once on the Sunshine Coast, and during our regular season (Apr – Sep), our location is accessible by car. A four-wheel drive vehicle is a better option during early spring and late fall or winter conditions. Detailed directions are provided in your booking confirmation and on our location page. We also recommend arranging transportation in advance, as public transit options are be limited in the area.
At Stay Wilder, we are serious about living and travelling sustainably. We are committed to eco-friendly practices including renewable energy, water conservation, locally sourced materials, partnerships with local artisans, and initiatives that promote wildlife conservation and regenerative tourism. Did you know that for every stay, we plant 10 trees on your behalf? We’re also proud to collaborate with local businesses on the Sunshine Coast to support the local economy. From pre-ordered groceries to nourishing prepared meals and fantastic restaurants, we’ve got you covered.
After the scenic 40 min ferry from Vancouver, allow yourself time for the trip to Stay Wilder – it’s only 34km, but the going is slow. Relax and enjoy the beautiful drive up the Sunshine Coast Highway 101.
If you are passionate about hospitality, thrive in a remote environment, and love creating memorable guest experiences, become a Stay Wilder host!
