Post Ranch Inn, Big Sur

Luxurious retreat for nature lovers
Awe-inspiring might be an overused term, yet for this luxury inn on the heart of the Big Sur region it’s an apt description. And that’s mainly because of the views over the Pacific that the hotel affords from its elevated position – whether it’s from the infinty pool, the restaurant or, if you are lucky enough to upgrade to an oceanview guestrooms, your very own terrace. There are a range of included activities such as yoga and guided nature walks; and then there’s the beautiful spa.
