Why stay

Stay above the clouds along California’s breathtaking coastline at Post Ranch Inn, where luxury meets nature. Surrounded by majestic mountains, the vast Pacific Ocean, and towering redwoods, the resort offers a range of unique accommodations. Choose the Cliff House for sweeping ocean views from a glass-walled structure, or the Pacific Suite for 180-degree panoramas of the coastline. The Peak House provides an intimate mountain retreat, while the Tree House, perched on stilts nine feet above the forest floor, features a skylight perfect for stargazing. For those seeking mountain vistas, the Mountain House offers stunning views of the Santa Lucia Peaks and Ventana Wilderness. Larger groups can indulge in the Butterfly House or the South Coast House, each with a private terrace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Pacific. Experience California’s natural beauty through morning yoga, guided hikes, whale watching, and nightly stargazing—all without leaving the serenity of Post Ranch Inn.

Why wander
