The
Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay, situated snugly between the Santa Cruz Mountains
and the Pacific Ocean, is pretty—pretty breathtaking, that is. The
Shingle-style hotel's weathered, wind-battered appearance evokes a
nineteenth-century seaside lodge, and red- and gold-accented interiors showcase
equally classic taste, with oil paintings, watercolors, and sepia-toned
etchings lining each suite.
The
northern Californian fare at Navio, set atop a stunning ocean bluff, is seafood
at its best—subtle, savory, and fresh—offering standouts like the Skuna Bay
salmon, paired with pumpernickel, sorrel, and smoked onion, and the olive oil
poached Halibut, hailing from nearby Oceanside, which would please any lucky
locavore.
The
Conservatory, although a little less lavish, serves equally fresh farm-to-table
fare, as befits coastal Californian cuisine.
As
for leisurely activities, the Half Moon Bay has them in spades: Swing on over
to either of two on-site championship golf courses, or take a jog on the
hotel’s coastal paths and have the Pacific lapping at your feet. But if you’re
looking to rest on your laurels—no judgment here—proceed to the
16,000-square-foot spa, with its Roman mineral baths and lavender facial
treatments.
The
Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay was the RCA Winner 2015and ranks #5 in Top Resorts
in Northern California.
