California consistently ranks as one of the most popular travel destination in the United States, and with good reason. Between the incredible weather to just how diverse this large state is, California has much to offer. I would guesstimate that a large portion of travelers that come to California visit the southern part of the state, and while that region is certainly very beautiful and vibrant, for this weeks luxury resort spotlight we are going to focus on a small property located in the stunningly serene area of Big Sur: The Post Ranch Inn.
The region of Big Sur is located about in the center of California. It’s a sparsely populated area that does not contain really any major cities. Instead it’s filled with expansive forests, small towns, and massive cliffs that lead right up to the Pacific Ocean. It is easily one of the most beautiful areas in the state, and it is here that we find the luxurious and peaceful Post Ranch Inn.
Like many properties in Big Sur, the Post Ranch Inn is situated on top of the cliffs that overlook the ocean. These cliffs are filled with meadows, and with the forrest right in the back, the location could not be better. The Post Ranch Inn is a five-star, boutique resort that has received a number of awards and recognitions from sites like TripAdvisor and Travel and Leisure. In fact, TripAdvisor ranks this property as the best hotel in all of Big Sur, and we can certainly see why. This area is famous for those looking to take a retreat or to getaway from the everyday routine of life. Following that notion, The Post Ranch Inn is all about rest, relaxation, and finding one’s inner peace.
The property is comprised of a network of small, modern structures that place a great amount of emphasis on style and design. The Post Ranch Inn offers guests a variety of features and amenities that ensure your stay is just magical. The property has a modern fitness center, internet access, two pools located on the cliff, a few hot tubs, and more. But at the heart of it all is their spa and wellness center. Again, The Post Ranch Inn is all about wellbeing and relaxation, and their spa is quite incredible. From relaxing in the sauna to couples massages, their spa has it all. And like nearly all the buildings and rooms found at the Post Ranch Inn, you are surrounded at all times with views of the truly awe-inspiring landscape. They offer a range of activities for guests as well. You can take guided meditation courses, participate in yoga and pilates, or hike some of the beautiful nature trails that are located throughout the area.
As nice as all of those features are, the real highlight of the Post Ranch Inn would be their accommodations. The resort only offers 39 private suites that are located throughout the property. Each suite is absolutely massive and you can tell that they pay attention to the little details here. From the floor-to-ceiling windows to the modern furnishings and fireplaces, this resort is just absolutely beautiful. When you’re in an area like Big Sur, you really want to connect with nature and your surroundings, and the Post Ranch Inn can make that happen. No matter which suite you go for, you can be guaranteed some incredible views of the area. Just imagine waking up to a sunrise over the ocean in a room like these which are located on the cliffs. It’s truly something else.
While there are definitely larger and more feature-rich resorts out there, the Post Ranch Inn is in a class of it’s own. It’s not trying to be a massive resort at all really. This location is all about connecting with nature and one’s inner self. It’s a place for rest and relaxation; one where you can get away from the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Even if your stay here was just over the course of a weekend, it will definitely be a weekend to remember. For those seeking an intimate and luxurious retreat to arguably one of the most beautiful areas in the entire country, the Post Ranch Inn is the place to visit.
