There simply is not a time when the rugged, captivating coast of Northern California is anything but an extraordinary escape. On a clifftop overlooking blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn is a place of natural and intimate luxury, reflecting not only the beauty of its environs, but the quintessential relaxed attitude as well. With views of sea on one side, and mountains on the other, this property features organic architecture inside and out. Guest rooms are a study in rustic elegance, set in a series of small structures, with each space affording a scenic vista unlike any other. A king bed, wood-burning fireplace, indoor spa tub, and private deck will greet you, and indulgent touches like terry robes, slippers, and a complimentary mini bar offer even more reason to delight in this awesome getaway. Head over to Post Ranch Inn's award-winning spa for an out-of-this-world treatment, set in a room overlooking the surrounding mountains and ocean. From the Big Sur Jade Stone Therapy to the Organic Garden Facial or soul-soothing shaman sessions, this is truly a place of mind and body renewal.

My wife and I celebrated the New Year at Post Ranch Inn — magical forests and views that feel holy. The food at every meal was fresh and nourishing and delicious, made with love. The team treats the guests like family.

Post Ranch Inn is an extraordinary property that we return to time and time again. It is breathtakingly beautiful, deeply peaceful, and wonderfully private. The setting is unmatched, with sweeping views, iconic sunrises and sunsets, and well maintained hiking trails. The restaurant is equally exceptional, offering food that lives up to the magic of the surroundings.

It's very expensive, obviously, but if you don't have a budget as we don't, it's a very enjoyable experience. The rooms, facilities, grounds, and service are all first class. About as peaceful and solitary as you can imagine, including the views of course.
