The Sanctuary Beach Resort

Set on 19 acres of pristine Pacific shoreline between Carmel Valley’s rolling hills and the Marina Dunes Preserve, The Sanctuary Beach Resort is Monterey’s premier oceanfront wellness retreat. The resort, which re-debuted in June 2024 following a comprehensive reimagination by FAROUKI FAROUKI, unveiled 60 renovated beachfront cottages designed to restore and inspire, each featuring private terraces, cozy fireplaces, calming coastal palettes, and locally crafted artwork. Wellness is woven throughout the entire guest journey. At the Renewal Studio & Spa, guests can indulge in restorative treatments like marine body wraps, customized massage therapies, and coastal sound bath meditations—all designed to harmonize body, mind, and spirit. Ocean-to-table dining at Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette nourishes from within, with seasonal ingredients and a focus on sustainable, vibrant cuisine. Daily opportunities for movement and mindfulness abound, from yoga on the dunes and beachside meditation to nature walks through the adjacent Marina Dunes Preserve. As the only pet-friendly beachfront resort in Monterey Bay, The Sanctuary offers a unique space to reconnect with loved ones, the natural world, and oneself. Whether seeking a romantic retreat, a solo wellness escape, or a restorative experience in nature, The Sanctuary Beach Resort offers an unforgettable balance of serenity, rejuvenation, and coastal beauty.
