Carmel Valley Ranch in Carmel-by-the-Sea

Nestled in the lush Santa Lucia Mountains minutes from the coast Carmel Valley Ranch offers you one of natures most beautiful playgrounds.

In December 2009, Carmel Valley Ranch embarked on an exciting transformation, and will emerge this fall 2010 as a completely new style of resort that encourages guests to play, engage and connect. Taking full advantage of nearly 500 acres of magnetic landscape, the resort includes scores of programs and activities such as beekeeping, early morning hikes, and fitness classes. Carmel Valley Ranch offers a rich array of amenities including a Pete Dye championship golf course, tennis courts, bocce ball and basketball courts, swimming pools, hot tubs, an organic garden and vineyard, kids splash zone and playground, meeting rooms and a bevy of swings scattered throughout the resort hanging from majestic 300 year old oaks. Our new Spa Aiyana, drawing on the bounty of the region, offers a variety of relaxing and rejuvenating treatments. The renovation also includes a complete redesign of our 139 extremely spacious suites that are scattered along the foothills, affording spectacular views.

Pets are welcome for a one time pet fee of $150 per pet, per suite, per stay.
