Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This luxurious seaside escape sits on 19 acres of exclusive beachfront, tucked between the hills of Carmel Valley and the Marina Dunes—a backdrop that's just as timeless as your love story. Craft an entire weekend of celebration in collaboration with the expert events team, from welcome cocktails at a private beach bonfire to post-wedding detox at the spa.
- Exchange vows on the beach bluff or with your toes in the sand, then make your way to a gorgeous reception at one of the venue's airy, modern indoor and outdoor spaces. Your custom menu comes from the award-winning Salt Wood Kitchen and Oysterette, a locally driven restaurant that provides an authentic coastal dining experience.
- The resort itself is aptly named, offering a plush sanctuary for you and your guests. Clustered in bungalows that hug the beach, each of the 60 rooms and suites feature Pacific views and outdoor patios overlooking the sweeping sand dunes.
