Bernardus Lodge & Spa

Set in Carmel Valley, Bernardus Lodge & Spa combines star-rated dining, a wellness spa, and an outdoor heated pool. Guestrooms are designed for comfort with a limestone fireplace, a two-person soaking tub, and down feather bedding. Thoughtful touches include a gourmet snack basket, a fruit bowl, fresh roses, and a complimentary "wine grotto" minibar stocked with Bernardus wines, along with a flat-screen cable TV, an iPod docking station, and a coffee machine.

Lucia Restaurant & Bar showcases an extensive wine list and a menu centered on organic, locally sourced ingredients, while the bar and lounge offer a relaxed setting with a more casual menu. The Spa at Bernardus provides marine-inspired massages and body treatments in a spacious facility featuring locker rooms, sauna rooms, a fitness room, and a juice bar. Spaces for unwinding include a warming room with fireplace, a meditation garden, a dipping pool, and a reflecting pool, and a full-service beauty salon is also available.

Recreational options extend to two tennis courts, a croquet lawn, and a bocce court. Garland Ranch Regional Park lies just under 1 mile away, the Carmel Mission Basilica and Museum are 9.5 miles from the resort, and Monterey Bay Aquarium is 12 miles away.
