Each intimate, one-bedroom suite measures at least 700 square feet and offers a serene outdoor living area with stunning valley and vineyard views, concrete soaking tub, indoor-outdoor fireplaces, and rustic-elegant furnishings including daybeds, rocking chairs and picnic tables that invite guests to relax and play. A section of suites can also be configured into two-bedroom suites with kitchens, ideal for executive retreats and out of the box group experience's.

As the resort's social hub and heart, the reimagined restaurant, will offer a casually elegant, home-inspired dining experience where the rustic sophistication of the Carmel Valley converges with more outdoor connectivity and touches of play. With a flexible new floor plan that includes two new dining spaces enclosed by barn doors and a show-stopping 1,500-square-foot terrace offering sweeping valley and vineyard views.

The Vintner Room will be expanded to 1500 sq. feet combinable with a new 1,500-square-foot dining terrace offers majestic, treetop dining with woven wicker chairs, sun-dappled views of the valley and vineyard below connected by a disappearing glass wall that joins the indoors with the beauty of the valley.
