The Hyatt Carmel Highlands gently surrounds you in the region's natural beauty while just steps from partaking in some of the finer things in life. Whether you prefer an active getaway or a laid back vacation, this place is adept at delivering both.

During our trip, as cooler than expected temps along with misty sprays of fog gently embraced the coastline, the tone was set for a vacation of the more relaxing variety.  The perfect antidote for a busy or hectic time in your life, be prepared to decompress, California style!

Our residence gazed out above the craggy shores just a touch south of Point Lobos with expansive views of the surrounding terrain.  Ceiling to floor windows offered up fantastic and private views from morning to night. Although the fog settled in for most of our stay, the views were no less impressive as we continuously stoked the fire and enjoyed its warmth with engaging conversation, a smooth glass of Cabernet and one heck of an amazing view. Early morning skies cleared for a spell and we were treated to majestic views of the coast and the boundless energy of the tides. Wow!

Dining- California Market at Pacific's Edge

Sitting perched on the edge of the roaring California coast sampling amazing foods and fantastic wines is a fine place to be.  Yeah, it's pretty freaking awesome.  The California Market at Pacific's Edge is one of those iconic and romantic destinations that should be on every couple's "must visit" list.  Enjoy a true California dining experience that focuses on locally sourced organic, locally grown and raised ingredients.

From octopus and yellowfin to short ribs with butternut squash risotto tuna tartar everything we sampled was scrumptious. 

Morning or evening, the California Market at Pacific's Edge serves up a scrumptious dining experience in a gorgeous setting. Time your dinner for a sunset and be sure to make reservations as the restaurant fills quickly.
