An Insider's Take
'Perched on 160 acres of pristine wilderness where the Santa Lucia Mountains meet the Pacific, this Japanese-inspired sanctuary has been Big Sur's most coveted hideaway since 1975.' What's Special? The resort sits at 1,200 feet above sea level with unobstructed ocean views stretching to the horizon. Its famous clothing-optional pools are naturally heated by underground hot springs, while the award-winning spa utilizes indigenous Big Sur botanicals. The property is also home to California condors - you might spot these rare birds with 10-foot wingspans soaring overhead.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Suru Spa's signature treatments during late afternoon - the outdoor massage pavilions offer front-row seats to Big Sur's legendary sunsets over the Pacific.
Don't Miss The morning meditation walks through ancient redwood groves, sunset yoga on the clifftop deck, and dinner at The Sur House where every table has panoramic ocean views. The property's network of hiking trails connects directly to Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and the famous McWay Falls.
