Villa Mara

Guest rooms feature custom king-sized beds, vintage and bespoke furnishings, complimentary mini-bars, and bathrooms with heated floors and rain showers. Most offer balconies or patios, while select rooms feature ocean views. Jeffers Cottage adds separate living and sleeping areas, a private yard, and a fire pit.

Begin the day at Jesena’s Bar with pastries, quiche, fresh fruit, coffee, juice, and wellness shots. In the evening, settle in for a cocktail, wine, or beer, with an emphasis on local and regional selections.

Unwind in the landscaped front and back yards, where fire pits, custom water features, and intimate seating areas invite quiet afternoons and evenings. Join guided yoga on Sunday, or slow down among curated artwork and books in the cozy library.

Take a guided scenic ocean walk on Saturday. Borrow a bike to explore nearby Carmel Beach, visit Carmel Mission, or head downtown to browse Carmel-by-the-Sea’s boutiques, galleries, and restaurants.
