If you've been looking for the perfect getaway but don't have the budget to head all the way to the South of France, there's a little piece of it hidden on Vancouver Island in B.C.

This luxury resort has been named as one of the best hotels in the world and the number one hotel in all of Canada, in the 2021 Reader's Choice Awards, by Condé Nast Traveller.

Oak Bay Beach Hotel is a stunning resort nestled right beside the ocean, where you can swim in a heated pool and watch the sunset over the sea.

It's no surprise it made it on the list of best hotels in the world — it looks truly magical.

The Readers' Choice Awards are based on value points including the hotel's food, location, rooms, service, design, value and activities or facilities.

With bridges, green grass and canals — it's a little piece of paradise.

Honestly, you could witness some of the most dreamy sunsets from this resort.
