A hillside retreat in Santa Cruz with bay views, spa, and trails.
Set high above Santa Cruz on a wooded hillside, Chaminade Resort & Spa blends classic California views with the feel of a contemporary mountain retreat. The resort’s layout flows around gardens, terraces, and walking trails, creating a sense of openness that shifts with the light of the day. Inside, the rooms carry a modern, relaxed design—soft tones, clean lines, and large windows that frame either tree-lined courtyards or glimpses of Monterey Bay.
The day here often starts with coffee on a balcony, followed by a swim in the heated outdoor pool or a yoga class on the terrace. Afternoons are shaped by choice: a treatment at the full-service spa, a quiet read by the fire pits, or a tennis match on the hillside courts. Dining feels equally connected to the landscape—The View restaurant stretches out with panoramic bay vistas, serving seasonal California fare, while Linwood’s Bar & Grill keeps the pace casual with small plates and crafted drinks.
Evenings carry a slower rhythm. Sunset pours over the redwood ridge, often best seen with a glass of local wine in hand. Whether staying for a weekend escape, a wellness retreat, or a celebration, the resort has a way of blending relaxation with a touch of Santa Cruz’s outdoor spirit.
This property has one on-site restaurant: The View, a Treeside Restaurant

Santa Cruz may be known for its surf and seaside carnival, but the hills above the city tell a quieter story. Chaminade sits among 300 acres of oak and eucalyptus forest, with trails leading straight from the property. It feels private, yet the coast is only minutes away.
Nearby Attractions:
This is not the fast-paced boardwalk crowd. Life above the bay moves slower—mornings marked by fog lifting through the trees, evenings by the hush of forest crickets. The city’s bustle is close enough, but here it stays in the background.
