“An adult-only hotel steps from Carmel Beach. Light, airy rooms are decorated in pretty pastels. No restaurant, but a breakfast of pastries & quiche is served in the chic dining room plus there's an afternoon happy hour. Beautiful grounds make this a picturesque setting for a grown-up chilled stay.”

Villa Mara is the anti big box luxury hotel, located in one of the most storybook, seaside towns in California, steps from the Pacific Ocean in a private enclave of multi-million dollar homes (think tens of millions).
