This cosy popular French-Italian bistro is excellent for traditional simple dishes made with the freshest locally sourced ingredients. We love their delicious homemade wood-oven fired pizza's and they have a great wine list- make sure to ask the sommelier for advice.

Not only is the location absolutely perfect (3 minutes from the beach that is) but also the service is exceptional at La Playa Hotel. This dreamy hotel is the perfect getaway escape for lovers, friends and solo travellers. While it is a little farther from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, they offer a shuttle to ensure you can still explore the area. 

Stylish and cosy boutique hotel with a beachy vibe in the heart of Carmel-by-the-sea. Ask for a room with a private hot tub and fireplace for a truly lovely experience. We recommend the simple yet delicious homemade breakfast in the hotel lobby. 

One of Carmel's hottest and newest hotels. This wonderful stay boasts a small boutique gym, a lovely spa, and most notably, Secoya restaurant. Secoya is managed by Justin Cogley, who also helms Aubergine — the only Michelin-starred establishment in town. Get ready for some delicious food and an amazing stay.
