The FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™ | Klahoose Wilderness Resort | British Columbia

Discover Klahoose

Extend Your FIFA World Cup 2026™ Trip with a Wilderness Escape: From Stadium Roars to Coastal Stillness

Klahoose Wilderness Resort is the closest wilderness lodge to Vancouver — a unique authentic Indigenous retreat to complement the excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026™. Just a short journey from the city, our Indigenous-owned, award-winning, lodge invites football fans to experience the best of both worlds: world-class matches in Vancouver and an unforgettable escape into the pristine beauty of Klahoose Territory here in coastal British Columbia.

Between matches, immerse yourself in the coastal B.C. rainforest and ocean, witness incredible whales and marine life, and connect with the living culture of the toq qaymɩxʷ (Klahoose) people.

Guest Reviews

"This is what tourism should be like: respect for the environment and the people who live there. We had 3 wonderful and memorable days, with excellent excursions, cultural teachings, traditional crafts demonstrations, and many interesting conversations with very knowledgeable and friendly guides and staff. The food was very varied and delicious, and the chefs went out of their way to accommodate special dietary needs. We felt so well taken care of and welcomed from the first moment we arrived, and it was sad to say goodbye. Thank you for an unforgettable experience."

"Amazing Bucket Lift Lifetime Experience! After 5 weeks already visiting much of the regular highlights of British Columbia and Alaska, you might have though that was not much left to do.

The resort is located in an amazing area with easy access to a range of wilderness experiences. The location, access, guides and wildlife were beyond expectations! The wilderness area is true pristine, magnificent in its grandeur and Klahoose Resort is icing on the cake.
