Overview

The Post Ranch Inn, perched on the cliffs of Big Sur, boasts astonishing beauty and romance - a place that will stir your soul and awaken your senses.

Stretch your muscles and your gaze, and take in yoga with the most amazing view.

Understated, serene, and exclusive, Post Ranch Inn is the ultimate romantic getaway. Clinging to the cliffs of Big Sur, the inn's architecture is in perfect harmony with the stunning location. Post Ranch is a modern, streamlined haven of natural stone and wood, with glass everywhere so nothing impedes the magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean. From treehouses perched in the redwoods, to cottages with earth roofs dotted with wildflowers, each of the 40 unique guestrooms and three private houses shows an extraordinary attention to detail and sensitivity to its surroundings.

The hospitality and amenities at Post Ranch Inn are equally remarkable, with gracious service that ensures your stay will be unforgettable. Yoga in the brilliant morning sun, lost afternoons in the infinity edge Meditation Pool, four-course dinners at Sierra Mar made from produce from the inn's own organic garden, and evenings stargazing with the resident astronomer - each day is more extraordinary than the last.
