Our Story
Carmel Valley Ranch is a place to grow young, where people can truly play—throwing caution to the wind, listening to their inner child, seeking pure, absolute fun. The Ranch makes it possible to pursue all kinds of play, from activities that thrill to opportunities to chill. Guests can take in artisan demonstrations, experience a revitalizing spa treatment, explore vineyards and gardens, play the area’s only Pete Dye-designed golf course, and much more. Tucked away in the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains on the sunny side of the Monterey Peninsula, The Ranch has been named one of the top resorts in Northern California in Condé Nast Traveler’s prestigious Readers’ Choice Awards. Situated on 500 lush acres adjacent to the 4,400-acre Garland Ranch Regional Park, The Ranch offers easy access to miles of scenic hiking vineyards, gardens, and other natural wonders.
