Where Light Meets Nature

Our journey started with a simple dream and a whole lot of love for this wild coast.

Our Story

How It All Began

Look, we're not gonna feed you some fancy corporate origin story. The truth? Lumirion Hollow started because three friends fell head over heels for a piece of forgotten forest land back in 2018.

2018 - The Vision

Sarah, Marcus, and Elena stumbled upon this hollow during a camping trip. The way the morning light filtered through the old-growth cedars? Yeah, it was one of those moments that just hits different. They knew this place needed to be shared, but done right.

2019-2020 - Building Dreams

Two years of permits, plans, and plenty of setbacks. We worked with local Indigenous communities to make sure we were respecting the land properly. Every tree, every stone was considered. The hot springs? Those were already here - we just gave 'em the attention they deserved.

2021 - Opening Day

March 15th, 2021. Our first guests checked in and honestly, we were nervous wrecks. But watching people discover the trails, sink into the springs, and actually disconnect from the chaos? That's when we knew we'd built something real.

2022-2023 - Growing Roots

Added the wellness programs, expanded our farm partnerships with local growers, and launched the guided wildlife tours. We're not trying to be the biggest - just the most authentic spot on the coast.

2024-Today - Living the Dream

We've planted over 500 native trees, partnered with conservation groups, and watched eagles nest right above Suite 7. Every season brings something new, and we're just getting started.

Forget the corporate wellness retreat nonsense. We're just trying to create a space where you can breathe, think, and reconnect with what actually matters. No forced meditation circles, no juice cleanses (unless you want 'em), just honest-to-goodness nature and comfort.

The forest does the heavy lifting. We just keep the coffee hot and the trails clear.

Sarah Chen

Co-Founder & Vision Keeper

Former architect who traded blueprints for trail maps. Sarah's the one who makes sure every corner of this place tells a story. She's got this thing about natural light (hence the name) and can identify like 80 different bird calls. Catch her at sunrise on the meditation deck with her sketchbook.

Marcus Okafor

Co-Founder & Culinary Director

This guy turned down a fancy Vancouver restaurant gig to cook in the forest, and we're forever grateful. Marcus works directly with local farms and foragers to create menus that change with the seasons. His mushroom risotto using chanterelles from the property? Life-changing. Don't get him started on sourdough unless you've got an hour.

Elena Rodriguez

Co-Founder & Wellness Director

Former paramedic who found her calling in holistic wellness after burning out hard. Elena runs our spa and wellness programs with a no-BS approach - she's all about what actually works, not what's trendy. Licensed massage therapist, herbalist, and the calmest person you'll ever meet. Probably because she spends half her time in the hot springs.

Sustainability First

We're carbon neutral, waste conscious, and work with conservation groups. The land was here first - we're just guests.

Community Matters

Local suppliers, Indigenous partnerships, fair wages. We're part of Tofino, not just in it.

Authentic Wellness

No gimmicks, no pseudoscience. Just nature, rest, good food, and real human connection.

Honest Service

We'll tell you if something's not available rather than BS you. Straight talk, every time.
