Why it's holistic

  • Post Ranch Inn's holistic character comes from the completeness of its immersion in one of the most powerful wild landscapes in North America.
  • The Big Sur coastline's combination of mountain, ocean, old-growth redwood, and marine mammal life creates a sensory and spiritual environment that operates on the guest's nervous system with an immediacy that no programmatic intervention can match.
  • The resort's ecological integrity — its carbon-neutral operation, zero-waste programme, and land stewardship — ensures that the restorative power of this landscape is preserved by the very act of sharing it.

About

Perched on the cliffs of the Big Sur coastline with the Santa Lucia Mountains rising behind and the Pacific six hundred feet below, Post Ranch Inn is one of the most dramatically sited luxury properties in the world and, arguably, one whose location does more restorative work than any formal wellness programme could. The treehouse and cliff-edge rooms are built with an ecological sensitivity — no trees were felled in the original construction — that reflects the founding vision of a property in genuine communion with its extraordinary landscape. The Sierra Mar restaurant, the cliff-edge pool, the hiking trails through coastal sage and redwood, and the Sierra Nevada Spa's experience using locally foraged botanicals complete an experience in which luxury and wilderness are not in tension but in deep conversation.
