A clifftop sanctuary 1,200 feet above the Pacific — Tree Houses with skylight beds, Ocean Houses with living sod roofs, Cliff Houses for the bridal party that wants the view. Sierra Mar (Michelin one-star, Wine Spectator Grand Award) does a four-course prix fixe over the water; the chef's edible-garden tour runs Mondays and Wednesdays. Day-two yoga on the cliff at sunrise, an infinity pool afternoon, a falconry session before dinner. Decompression: the Coast Gallery and a long Highway 1 drive south to a quiet picnic spot. Monterey (MRY) is the gateway, 45 minutes away.

Questions

Which room types are best for the bridal party?
Pacific Suites or Ocean Houses if the budget runs hot — full ocean view from the soaking tub. Tree Houses for the playful pick (canopy beds, skylights, intimate scale). Mix-and-match works.
Two-night minimum?
Yes, year-round. Three nights is the right footprint — the property reveals itself slowly.
Is Sierra Mar reservable separately?
Yes, but Inn guests get priority. Book a chef's-counter seating for the bachelorette dinner — five spots, the kitchen pace as theater.
Falconry — really?
Yes — a private session with a master falconer on the lawn, hawks landing on a gloved arm. Worth the add-on. Books out 30 days ahead.
