Bernardus Lodge & Spa sits in sunny Carmel Valley, inland from the Monterey coast and surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and landscaped grounds. The resort has only 73 rooms, suites and villas across 28 acres, giving it a more intimate feel than a typical California wine-country property. Lucia Restaurant & Bar draws heavily on local produce and the property’s own gardens, while complimentary in-room wine and snacks reinforce the connection to the Bernardus wine estate.

Bernardus Lodge turns 28 acres of Carmel Valley into a quiet wine-country retreat, with fireplaces, soaking tubs, garden-driven dining and an intimate destination spa.
