Vessel is seeking a minimum of 5 buildable private acres with expansion potential within established West Coast tourism regions, primarily throughout the Tofino/Ucluelet corridor and similar destinations in British Columbia.

Properties with close proximity or direct access to the ocean are strongly preferred. Ideal sites would allow guests to view, access or walk to swimmable coastline directly from the property experience. Forested properties with strong privacy, old growth surroundings and a deeply immersive natural setting are equally aligned with the vision.

Properties with existing tourism, commercial or flexible-use zoning — or realistic hospitality development potential through rezoning or temporary use permitting — are strongly preferred.

Vessel is currently in the land acquisition and partnership phase. The brand, hospitality concept and development vision have been established, and the current focus is identifying the right long-term property and aligned lease or joint venture opportunity to bring the project to life.

Early-stage planning around operations, guest experience, design direction and development strategy is actively underway alongside site exploration and partnership conversations.

Vessel will operate as a hybrid hospitality model combining luxury glamping accommodations, boutique retreat hospitality and curated wellness experiences.

The property is designed to support multiple revenue streams across overnight stays, private bookings, hosted retreats, corporate buyouts, in-house wellness programming and collaborative guest experiences, while maintaining a smaller-scale, design-forward and highly intentional guest environment.

Infrastructure requirements will vary depending on the property, zoning and development approach, but ideal sites would support or have the potential to support road access, water, power and wastewater systems appropriate for boutique hospitality use. Off-grid systems are also a potential.

Vessel is intentionally being designed as a low-impact hospitality model, allowing flexibility across a range of raw and partially developed properties. Existing infrastructure is valuable, but not required, provided the site has realistic development potential.

Vessel intends to invest significantly into the hospitality infrastructure, accommodations, wellness facilities and guest experience components required to bring the project to life.

Infrastructure responsibilities and capital improvements will ultimately depend on the property, existing site conditions and partnership structure. Any major investments that materially increase long-term land value would be addressed collaboratively within lease or joint venture agreements.

Vessel is looking for aligned landowners and long-term partners who see value in creating a highly intentional hospitality destination rooted in nature, ritual, design and meaningful human experience.

Beyond the property itself, alignment in vision, communication, integrity and long-term stewardship is deeply important. The goal is to build something lasting, mutually beneficial and genuinely meaningful for both guests and the surrounding community.

Vessel is primarily exploring long-term land lease, lease-to-purchase and joint venture partnership structures depending on the property and goals of the landowner.

The intention is to create mutually beneficial long-term agreements that support sustainable growth and shared long-term value.

Vessel is currently envisioned as a primarily three-season hospitality model, with long-term plans to expand toward more robust year-round operations as the project evolves.

The initial development approach is intentionally phased, allowing the property, infrastructure and guest experience to grow thoughtfully over time.

Vessel is intentionally being developed as a boutique hospitality concept focused on quality of experience over large-scale tourism.

While the exact buildout will depend on the property and partnership structure, the initial vision includes approximately 6–8 luxury tented accommodations alongside shared hospitality and wellness spaces designed to support both individual stays and intimate retreat experiences.

The goal is to comfortably accommodate retreat groups of up to approximately 20 guests while maintaining a highly intentional, nature-immersed and non-commercial atmosphere.

In addition to land partnerships, Vessel is open to conversations with aligned architects, designers, builders, hospitality operators, wellness practitioners and other strategic collaborators who deeply resonate with the vision and bring meaningful experience, relationships or creative value to the project.

While many roles will ultimately be contracted traditionally, we are also open to exploring select long-term or equity-based partnerships where there is strong alignment, shared vision and meaningful contribution to the growth of the brand.

Now more than ever, people are seeking experiences that bring them back into connection — with nature, with others and with themselves. As more of life becomes digital, automated and screen-based, physical spaces centered around restoration, belonging and authentic real-world human experience are becoming increasingly valuable.

This shift is already reshaping the hospitality industry. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the global wellness economy reached $6.8 trillion in 2024, with wellness tourism alone projected to approach $1 trillion by 2029. Travelers are increasingly prioritizing slower, more intentional and experience-driven destinations over traditional tourism.

Vessel exists in deep alignment with that shift, but is rooted in a genuine belief that spaces like this are deeply needed. Not as an escape from life, but as a place to reconnect with what is actually important in it.

The intention is to create a place people carry home with them. A place that changes something. That reminds people what it feels like to be rested, connected, inspired and fully present in their lives again. Not just while they’re here, but long after they leave.

The first step is an introductory conversation to learn more about the property, ownership goals and overall alignment.

From there, the process would move into site review, feasibility discussions and exploration of potential lease or partnership structures depending on the property and opportunity.
