ACTIVITIES GUIDE
ESCAPE TO THE BEST OF CARMEL VALLEY
Enjoy fun in the California sun at Carmel Valley’s premier vineyard resort—Bernardus Lodge & Spa. Go for a refreshing swim overlooking the mountains and vineyards at our heated, lap-length pool. Play a match on one of our tennis courts. Or opt for a little friendly competition at our croquet lawn and bocce court. Our abundant recreational opportunities capitalize on Carmel Valley’s year-round warm weather and inspired healthy lifestyle.
Ideally situated in a lush valley, Bernardus only feels miles from civilization. You’re surprisingly close to the region’s well-regarded wineries, celebrated golf links, high-end shopping and art galleries, scenic drives and abundant outdoor activities. Daytrips to the coast, wine tasting sojourns, hiking and horseback riding on 4,400 acres of mountain trails and outback treks to Big Sur’s spectacular waterfalls are just a few possibilities—all thoughtfully arranged by our Bernardus Guest Services team.
EXPERIENCE FROM AN ALL

During Spring months, in addition to catching a glimpse of new seal pups, the migrating gray whales are frequently spotted close to shore. In his famous novel Cannery Row, John Steinbeck wrote of this historic waterfront district on Monterey Bay.
