Post Ranch Inn opened in 1992 on a former Big Sur cattle ranch that had belonged to the Post family since the 1860s, its 40 rooms and homes designed by architect Mickey Muennig to sit lightly on the cliffside.
Tree Houses, Mountain Houses and Cliff Houses each look out over the Pacific or the coastal mountains, named for the Post family and other Big Sur pioneers. It earns its place through this rare combination of architectural ambition and an unbroken run of ocean cliff, alongside the Wine Spectator award-winning Sierra Mar restaurant.
Known for: ecotourism, seclusion, wellness.
Big Sur is a rugged stretch of California coastline where ancient redwood forests meet the dramatic cliffs of the Pacific Ocean.
