Located on a wooded hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, The Highlands Inn dates back to 1916. Now under Hyatt's management, the resort remains every bit as glamorous with a wealth of luxury amenities at your disposal. Stop by the award-winning Pacific's Edge restaurant or the casual California Market restaurant for dinner, or grab a cocktail in the Sunset Lounge. Highlands Inn offers countless ways to relax - take a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, book a yoga lesson in the morning or schedule a spa treatment to truly indulge. Looking to experience the best of the Carmel area? Let the Les Clefs d'Or Concierge Services help! The villas at the Highlands Inn keep in step with the luxurious ambiance of the greater resort. Each one- and two-bedroom villa comes equipped with a wood- burning fireplace, stunning views of the bay, full kitchen, LCD TV with cable and satellite, complimentary robes, marble spa bathtubs, Wi-Fi access and iHome stereo systems. Wood, marble and richly textured fabrics add a distinctly upscale feel to these roomy villas. The Big Sur area is a mecca for people who embrace life and new experiences. Be it the perfect sunset, or the meal of a lifetime, you'll find countless opportunities to create new treasured memories. World-class golf lies within just five miles of the resort, and those looking to experience the true grandeur of the Pacific will delight in nearby areas offering kayaking, sailing, scuba diving or surfing. Of course, there's a number of varied attractions as well. Consider checking out the Monterey Bay Aquarium, historical Cannery Row, Laguna Seca Raceway, Point Lobos State Reserve, John Steinbeck Center and Bixby Creek Bridge.

The resorts require a credit card at check-in to cover potential charges for damages, liabilities, and incidentals. If there are resort fees those will need to be paid directly to the resort as well. The owner is responsible for providing the Guest with reasonable notice of any such inconveniences of which the owner becomes aware before or during the guest’s stay. Most resorts are amenable to requests for custom bed formats and/or unit views which can be requested at check-in and can vary from room to room. Please note parking fees may apply and are not included in the price quoted here. The room view is not guaranteed here and varies, if you would like an upgrade to a specific view please let me know and if available I can do that, additional fees may be required. Additionally some resorts have various towers/buildings and these may vary. Again, please check with us in advance to discuss the view/building/unit and any additional fees that may apply. Finally, Tourist Accommodation Taxes vary at resort and must be paid directly to the resort this is standart to resorts and may vary depending on location. For more information ask about the fees prior to making your Booking Request.”
The very scenic drive from Carmel Highlands to Big Sur is so beautiful and enjoyable! It’s like 25 miles south to Nepenthe (favorite restaurant in Big Sur!) passing over the famous Bixby Bridge and Rocky Creek Bridge (must stop at each and get out for pictures). Along the way, stop at Vista Point, Garrapata State Park, Hurricane Point and Pfeiffer Beach. All not to miss. Post Ranch and Alila Ventana are just south of Pfeiffer Beach. Since we fly into Monterey, we grocer for the week at Trader Joe’s at Munras Ave, Monterey before heading to the villa. If you go there, you MUST have a sandwich at Ike’s, just around the corner from Trader Joe’s. Trader Joe’s is just 8 miles from the villa. A Safeway at 5 Crossroads Blvd & Hwy 1 in Carmel is just 4 miles and a usual stop in a strip center with a CVS and others. There is also a gas station / convenience store just ¾ mile on Hwy 1 from the villa for last minute stuff, snacks, drinks, etc. Haven’t done Uber Eats. Our fav restaurants are Pacific Edge (on property for brunch & dinner), in Carmel - La Bicyclette (pizza), Portabella, Dametrta, Flaherty’s, and Casanova. Another must is a hike of Point Lobos. The kids will love the action on Carmel Beach, and don’t forget the famous points north of Carmel – Pebble Beach, 17 mile drive, Lone Cypress, China Rock, Asilomar Beach, Point Pinos lighthouse and the Monterey Aquarium and Cannery Row. We also love Pacific Grove. Hope this helps.
