HAPPI EXPERIENCE
The stay, in detail
Wellness & relaxation
The Carmel Valley Lodge was originally built in the late 1950's on more than 3 acres. The current owners are dedicated to the constant delight of their guests and bringing this iconic, peaceful sanctuary forward in time… but not too far forward! The property is a wonderland of outdoor art, flower gardens including some rare and unique plants and old trees, along with water features and a Koi Pond. From the sparkling Saltwater Pool, Spa, and Fire Pits, guests enjoy the beautiful Carmel Valley hills. Carmel Valley Lodge is located just a short walk from the Village with restaurants, shops, and over 20 wine tasting rooms, and is across the street from a community park. The lodge is minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, the Monterey Peninsula and WeatherTech (Laguna Seca) Raceway.
Rooms feature comfy organic cotton & wool California King and Queen beds, real furniture, and all units have patios or decks.
