Carmel Valley Ranch

While Carmel Valley Ranch has been a favorite getaway spot for decades, the resort recently re-imagined itself as something more than a traditional escape. Because of its amazing location, they've had the opportunity to create something truly unique—a place dedicated to the idea of play. Where else can you play 18 holes of world-class golf, access hundreds of miles of hiking trails, wander around an organic garden, learn about honey bees in an apiary, explore vineyard terroir, enjoy mountain-top yoga, and then relax by your choice of pools—all within walking distance of your suite at one of the finest hotels in Carmel?
