A rustic, charming nature escape, where wooden-panelled cabins are tucked among blooming gardens and woodland walks lead to the Castro Canyon waterfall and creek. Norwegian-inspired, handcrafted cabins make up the accommodation, with some rebuilt to include an additional layer of insulation, while all retain the cottage-feel charm. From linen wall lamps and wooden bedside tables to embroidered rugs and dollhouse-style windows, each cabin is character filled. It’s charming, soulful, and gloriously unique.
Deep in the Santa Lucia Mountains, 1,200 feet above the Pacific, Post Ranch Inn is the work of architect Mickey Muennig, whose timber-and-glass rooms sit so organically into the clifftop that the rooflines are planted with wildflowers. Ocean House rooms cantilever over the ridge; Tree Houses perch on stilts among the redwoods. Sierra Mar, the glass-walled restaurant, serves Californian tasting menus with the Pacific spread out below. Falconry and naturalist walks fill the days.
The ultimate glamping experience with upscale colourful yurts, complete with sinks. Ask for one of the more private yurts on the way down to the sea. Make sure have dinner once at the spectacular tiny omakase sushi bar (very popular so get there early to get a spot).
Head to this exceptional hidden resort with unforgettable views of the Pacific Ocean with luxurious rustic cabins or for a more affordable option they offer romantic glamping spots. You won’t get bored with all the exciting activities they offer from guided hikes to morning yoga.
