ABOUT

The Setting

At around the midpoint of the 90 miles of picturesque Central California coastline known as Big Sur sits the Post Ranch Inn. This lauded resort (too many distinguished awards to list) constructed from natural materials and the local terroir, is harmoniously nestled into jagged cliffs above the Pacific Ocean. This prized real estate is put to good use, too, with 90 of the Inn’s 100 acres maintained as protected areas and land preservation, with the goal of zero impact.

The Post Ranch Inn not only talks the talk of environmental responsibility, it walks the walk. As a founding member of the Beyond Green global portfolio of hotels, Post Ranch Inn has committed to delivering on the three pillars of sustainable tourism - environmentally friendly practices that go beyond the basics; protection of natural and cultural heritage; and contribution to the social and economic wellbeing of local communities. The setting couldn’t be more idyllic, either. Embark into the natural splendor of Big Sur and take a complimentary Lexus for a spin up the world-famous Highway 1 to Monterey or Carmel. Just be prepared to stop along the way for jaw-dropping vistas of waterfalls and to explore the many nature preserves replete with peaceful hikes and beaches.
