The money shot: sunset vibes from the hotel’s restaurant, Sierra Mar.
The on-property yurt: find yoga, meditation classes…and deer.
This view...
One of the property’s epic infinity pools situated on the cliff’s edge.
Watching the show-stopper sunsets from the Post Ranch private house.
The view of the camouflaged oceanfront suites from the hotel’s restaurant.
It’s all about the drive. Make a photo pit-stop along the PCH.
The free-standing Tree Houses sit 9-feet off the forest floor.
The comfy king-size bed and beautiful quarters of the circular Mountain Houses.
The pool.
Highs & Lows
-
The insane views: ocean rooms are perched on the cliff’s edge, while treehouses are practically nailed to the branches. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
-
Animal spotting: deers in the wood, whales in the sea. If you’re lucky you can spot them from your balcony…in a robe…post a perfect sleep.
-
Post Ranch Inn Big Sur has the largest hotel solar system in California with approximately 1,000 sun panels powering the property year-round. So you can feel good about luxuriating.
-
The classic pool is a bit of a disappointment; stick with the ocean-side infinity pool and Jacuzzi.
-
Room service leaves a bit to be desired; don’t miss out on the off-site meals. Big Sur boasts some of the most rad restaurants around.
