An all-suite property where fireplaces and a private decks that maximise the panoramas adorn each room, Carmel Valley Ranch is a place to explore and renew. The River Ranch centre offers two swimming pools, sports courts and fitness, and the Adventure Den where younger guests will forget the idea of boredom. Meanwhile, a third pool and the Aiyana Spa specialising in herbal and botanical treatments can be found at the main Lodge.
Recreations include golf at the 18-hole Carmel Valley Ranch championship course winding through the core of the resort, hiking trails through meadows and hills full of local flora and fauna, and meeting the ranch's resident farm animals. And fuel for these adventures comes in the form of fresh ingredients at the Valley Kitchen or a more relaxed, casual outdoor dining experience at the River Ranch once more.
