01-17-2009

Featuring special opening rates available from now through March 5, 2009

UCLUELET, BRITISH COLUMBIA, January 16, 2009 – The highly anticipated Black Rock Oceanfront Resort will open its doors today in Ucluelet, British Columbia. Perched on a promontory jutting out onto the Pacific Ocean on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, this West Coast masterpiece is set to redefine luxury.

 

From the moment that a guest enters Black Rock, they can’t help but be amazed by the surroundings. Greeted by stunning views from the four-story window looking out on to the Pacific Ocean, Black Rock will surely take anyone’s breath away. Designed by renowned architect Ron Lea, the foremost vision for Black Rock was a unique respect for the land and landscape upon which the resort is built. Details such as using rock from the site in the finishings and removing as few trees as possible are just a couple of the carefully thought out design elements. Rock, water, glass, steel, wood, expansive space, intimate details, careful attention to views and natural light are hallmarks of this West Coast contemporary design approach that complements and contrasts the wild Pacific surroundings.

 

Consisting of a main lodge with 71 guest suites and 62 beach suites, Black Rock Oceanfront Resort was designed to soothe and inspire. Each of the studio, one and two-bedroom suites offer spectacular views of the ocean or surrounding old growth forest. Spa-inspired bathrooms and state-of-the-art kitchens ensure that guests looking for a quiet retreat will have all the luxurious comforts and conveniences in their home away from home. Beyond the serenity of the guestrooms, the hotel features three hot pools overlooking the ocean and natural black rock cliffs.

 

One of the resort’s many highlights is the dining experience celebrating the renowned culinary talents of local chef Andrew Springett. Fetch welcomes guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a spectacular setting where each and every seat offers stunning views of the surrounding rocky headlands. Fetch’s menus were carefully crafted to create an artisan inspired culinary experience featuring the freshest and finest of the region. Float Lounge with its floor to ceiling windows overlooking the open ocean, is the perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy one of their house inspired cocktails and beverages. For wine tastings and pairings, chef’s table and custom private dinners and private events, the resort’s dramatic signature feature, the Wine Cellar, overlooks the inside an active surge channel with exploding waves and surrounding coastal features for a truly unforgettable experience.

 

Scheduled to open in the spring, the Drift Spa will offer a locally inspired experience using certified organic seaweed products made on Vancouver Island. Hand-harvested from the cold clean Canadian Pacific Ocean, the all-natural wild seaweed products are nutrient rich with vitamins, minerals, and trace elements creating the most nourishing, healthy and vital seaweed products on the market.  

 

Located 444 km (276 miles) northwest of Victoria on Vancouver Island, Ucluelet offers a wide array of activities, all year long. From hiking the renowned Wild Pacific Trail, kayaking, fishing and whale watching, to quiet walks on the beach taking in the sights and sounds of the ocean, Ucluelet truly is a place that shouldn’t be missed.

 

From now through March 5, 2009, Black Rock Oceanfront Resort is offering special opening rates starting from $135.00 for a Standard Studio Suite. For more information about Black Rock Oceanfront Resort or for reservations, call 1-877-762-5011 or visit www.blackrockresort.com.
