The Location
Duncan, British Columbia—nestled in the stunning Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island—is the perfect setting for the Richer Health Hotel + Wellness Centre. Known as the “City of Totems” and surrounded by mountains, lush gardens, and a vibrant wellness-minded community, Duncan offers the rare balance of accessibility and tranquillity that makes it ideal for deep healing and transformation.
We already have an offer on the land, and the property developer—who is also part of our core team—is fully on board to bring this vision to life. With their expertise and our shared mission, we are poised to create Canada’s premier destination for chronic disease reversal, regenerative wellness tourism, and plant-based living. Our prime location is just a short walk from downtown yet feels like a private retreat, with easy access to Victoria and Nanaimo for local and international guests.
The Food
All meals will be prepared by our award-winning Green Moustache Organic Café—named Healthiest Restaurant for 12 years in a row and trusted by companies like Tony Robbins, Oakley, Fox Racing, Scandinave Spa, and Make-A-Wish Foundation. We’re the first restaurant invited to serve organic food in Canadian hospitals.
You’ll enjoy three daily meals plus herbal teas, fresh fruit, and filtered water available all day. Every dish and juice is 100% organic, whole food, plant-based, SOS-free, and crafted to reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and restore gut health - the foundation of reversing chronic health conditions.
We pride ourselves on making “healthy food” taste delicious.
Creamy, crunchy, chewy, imaginative, and incredibly tasty—each meal, prepared by our chef, is a rainbow of colors and sensory delight. You won’t feel hungry or deprived in any way.
Our fresh, delicious, plant-based, whole-food menu will be locally sourced. We’re also happy to accommodate any specific dietary needs.
