The Sanctuary Beach Resort, for natural healing

Tucked into the dunes of Monterey Bay, this luxury hotel in Marina offers unique opportunities to experience the natural surroundings. Start your day with beach yoga and a complimentary lavender-infused face mask – before joining one of the guided group nature walks, or hire a guide for a private hiking excursion. Come evening, you’ve earned the oysters and cioppino dinner that you’ll tuck into at the on-site Saltwood Kitchen and Oysterette. Cap off the day snuggled up at one of the nightly bonfires on the private beach and fall asleep to the sound of the Pacific Ocean outside your patio door.
