Carmel-by-the-Sea Hotels with Pools

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. Our all-suite accommodations are where the luxury of resort living meets the call of the wild. Swap stories by the fireplace. Gaze at the stars from your private deck as you savor a glass of wine from our vineyard. The only Pete Dye-designed bentgrass golf course in Northern California is right here at Carmel Valley Ranch, and no matter how you slice it (or hook it), this par-70 layout offers something for all players: tactical shots, dramatic elevation changes and incredible scenery. Our talented artisans add a unique twist to experiences at The Ranch—join them and hang out with horses, say hello to honeybees, greet our goats, and more.
