Atop the cliffs of Big Sur

No matter what you do at Post Ranch Inn, you’ll have a spectacular view. That’s because these recycled-redwood cabins and cottages are strung along a rocky-ridged slip of Californian cliff, some 365 metres above the Pacific Ocean.

With natural architecture embracing the coast’s dramatic beauty, the 39 rooms blend rustic elegance, comfort, and privacy with panoramic ocean or mountain views. There are no TV and alarm clocks in the rooms, which seems appropriate.

Be sure to book a spa appointment, either in a special treatment room or in your own room. One of the most unique experiences is a guided shaman session, a spiritual adventure designed to enhance your physical and mental wellbeing. More traditional spa goers can opt for facials or massages. And for the full California experience, guests can borrow a Lexus from the hotel – free of charge – and cruise down the Pacific Coast Highway.
