Area Attractions

Carmel Valley Ranch has always been an escape with plenty of room to roam, explore and discover. Where people rekindle romances, reunite with friends and family, revive spirits or simply get away and play. And these days, play is more important than ever. You don’t have to venture far from our hotel to find attractions like Carmel by the Sea, Pebble Beach and Carmel River State Beach.

Beyond our 500-acre playground, you’ll find a destination worthy of its world-class status and local fan base. While it’s a given that the natural beauty of the area draws visitors with scenic vistas, a relaxed pace and boundless outdoor play—including golf, biking and sailing—it’s the dreamy wine tasting and dining in local restaurants that keeps devotees coming back time and time again.

Perhaps it’s all those sunny days and magical Carmel Valley nights, but at The Ranch, we love our tennis—and pickleball! Whether you’ve never swung a racket or you’re already training for Wimbledon, our much-ballyhooed tennis program is unrivaled on the Monterey Peninsula.

Swimming Pools

For children at play and children at heart, The Ranch offers three beautiful saltwater pools, each with an adjoining soothing saltwater hot tub. (Why saltwater pools?
