The Art of the Getaway

Whether you're looking for an adventurous weekend, or in need of a relaxing staycation, discover an authentic and immersive experience of BC's Creative Communities and learn the Art of the Getaway. More than a tourist's trip, the Art of the Getaway is to be steeped in the local experience. It’s an early morning coffee on the balcony of an art infused B&B overlooking sprawling vineyards. It’s connecting with local artists and getting their recommendations for where to eat, shop, and explore. It’s the first and last bite of a meal prepared with local ingredients, it's the hidden gem spaces whispered by the few in the know, it's the adventure off the beaten path. It’s the moment you see that perfect spot on the beach distilled in a painting by a resident artist at the local gallery. The Art of the Getaway is to have the lasting impression of a vibrant cultural experience of community. Whether you’re visiting BC or looking to plan your next weekend getaway, why not stay like a local and book in one of our unique accommodations from converted manors, to beachside resorts, experience the Art of the Getaway in SuperCultural BC.
