Where to Stay When You Visit Big Sur, California
"The vibe: Serene and meditative. Top amenities: Hot tub, yoga, sushi bar. Best for: Private decks overlooking the Pacific, omakase sushi, hot tub, heated pool, morning yoga. What's nearby: Thankfully, nothing but undisturbed coastal landscape. Located at Big Sur’s south end, this hillside, off-the-grid retreat is comprised of tricked-out yurts with hardwood floors, plush beds, and private decks with views of the Pacific. While it’s more glamping than hotel proper—restrooms are pleasant but communal—the end result is a transcendent experience that will clear away all the mental clutter. Or, splurge for one of the remote cocoon-like dwellings with a private bathroom and furnished living space. Perks include omakase dinners at a seasonal sushi counter, heated pool, and hot tub with more of those glorious views."
