A Canadian Resort’s Succession Plan Scores Big With Luxury Focus
At Nimmo Bay, you can soak all day in a hot tub on a dock, with no other human in sight, or get a massage at the foot of a waterfall.

“Do you want to go pull the spot prawn traps?” asks Georgia Mingay, our guest experience coordinator at Nimmo Bay Resort, after we’ve returned from our morning waterfall hike. We’re deep in the Great Bear Rainforest, part of the world’s largest coastal temperate rainforest, on Mackenzie Sound, which connects Nimmo Bay to British Columbia’s Inside Passage. Guests arrive by floatplane for several days of immersive experiences.
“Sure,” I reply happily, knowing that running the winch and extracting this West Coast delicacy from the traps fits into Nimmo’s philosophy of exposing guests to all elements of the surrounding ecosystem. Letting the chef back at the resort work his wonders on our catch, I suspect, will be ample reward for our efforts.
