It’s refreshing to find a resort that truly fulfills its promise of full service, and even more so to find one that offers a full-service lifestyle at the base of Blackcomb Mountain. You can’t go wrong when you invest in luxury and good taste, both trademarks of Whistler’s Four Seasons Resort – and the latest in Four Seasons real estate.

We really should tell you about Whistler’s well-manicured trails, perfect for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. We probably should say more about the Spa at Four Seasons Resort, where you can find peace of mind, anytime. And we definitely wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t mention the signature BC golf courses and sophisticated shopping just minutes away. But we were so taken with the multiple master bedrooms, spacious living areas and furnished terraces that you’ll have to forgive us if we ramble on. When the Four Seasons describes its private residences as rustic, what they really mean is stylish, modern and the epitome of luxury. You’re hardly roughing it when you wake up to deep soaking tubs, double vanities and steam showers each morning. And there’s certainly nothing quaint about the gourmet kitchens, upscale finishes and contemporary furnishings found throughout. In fact, the only thing “rustic” about these year-round retreats are the British Columbia mountain peaks and fir-tree forests that surround them.

Highlights

Step into the Four Season Resort’s spacious lobby, where vaulted ceilings, rich furnishings and a welcoming ambiance await you on your BC vacation.

Fun facts

Bump elbows with the best on the slopes of Whistler Blackcomb, home of the 2010 Olympic Games.

The Four Seasons Resort, Whistler, has a freeform pool and multiple dining options to be enjoyed while on vacation or from your private residence.

If you think you know Predator Ridge, think again. Sure, there’s the luxury lodging, an Aveda concept spa and a championship golf course – arguably the region’s finest. And then there’s the prime location in the Okanagan Valley, with its vibrant culture, varied terrain and more sunshine than any other region. But it’s the vacation real estate at Predator Ridge that caught our eye – and earned it our coveted No. 1 spot.

We knew we could expect something special from British Columbia’s premier luxury resort. Through thoughtful development and sustainable building, these upscale homes somehow manage to enhance the already breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds them. With so many ownership options, from townhomes to custom mansions, you only have to answer one question: which style of Predator Ridge real estate is right for you? Take the duplex-style Villas at Birdie Lake. Perfect for golf enthusiasts, these Okanagan luxury villas offer a maintenance-free lifestyle, leaving you free to play the days away. Build your custom dream home in this heavenly setting with secluded home sites in the Longspoon Ridge and Vista Crest neighborhoods. With amenities like soaker tubs and granite counter tops, plus all-inclusive design packages, every home leaves you with a living space worthy of the magazine pages. And all are done in signature Predator Ridge style, with craftsman exteriors and an attention to detail that makes for a home – or home-away-from-home – that is nothing short of perfection.

Highlights

Hardwood floors, ceramic tiled kitchens and bathrooms, walk-in showers, exposed wood beams and alarms for peace of mind when you’re away.

Fun facts

Real estate from Predator Ridge has been named for the hundreds of birds of prey that live in the surrounding Okanagan region.

You’ll still find the mountain must-haves, like the Creekside Express Gondola that shoots you straight to the slopes, or the Valley Trail that takes you into the Whistler Creekside backcountry.

Inside these one- and two-bedroom resort homes, you’ll enjoy open floor plans with upscale add-ons like dual-sided fireplaces and European-inspired kitchens.

More than 8,100 skiable acres, plus 12 alpine bowls and 33 lifts, are scattered about Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains. A resort home from Evolution gives you the competitive edge, with more time to make the most of equipment rentals, ski and snowboard lessons and the magnificent Whistler Blackcomb powder. And at the heart of this remarkable meeting place sits the picturesque Whistler Village, where you’ll find shopping, fine dining and all the necessities.

And speaking of lofty, you can elevate your style of living every day with BC vacation real estate from Big White Property Group.

And each is totally turn-key; they’ve done the heavy lifting, you simply pack your bags and enjoy! Choose from the simple, like vacation condos in Happy Valley, to the simply stunning, like multi-million dollar estates with wine cellars, theatre rooms, elevators and views of the Monashee Mountains. Big White Ski Resort has sixteen lifts, so you can leave waiting in line to the poor souls who chose to live by those other ski resorts. As for après-ski activities, Big White has those, too.

Elevation Village Spa is the go-to spot for soothing those hard-earned aches and pains, where seasoned spa pros will have you rested, rejuvenated and back on the slopes faster than you can say Big White.

Sustainable homes, contemporary designs and expansive glass walls to let the light in and your spirit soaring out – what more could you ask for?
