A few miles inland from the village of Carmel stretches a pastoral river valley where residents and visitors retreat beyond the coastal fog. The main artery is Carmel Valley Road which diverts from Highway 1 along the lush green Santa Lucia Mountain Range. Day time temperatures in this region are typically 10 to 15 degrees higher than along the coast.

 Local families move here for a slower and relaxed pace of life where they spread out on larger home sites, co-existing harmoniously with farmers, ranchers and esteemed California vintners.  Carmel Valley is also the gateway to several exclusive golf course communities which offer guarded access, country club amenities and lovely estate homes.

Tucked away in this idyllic setting are several first class resort hotels and luxury boutique properties. Here guests will find endless opportunities for recreation such as; hiking, biking, horseback riding, culinary classes, wine tasting and, of course, fabulous golf. And, did we mention, sumptuous restaurants and perpetual sunshine??
