About
About Chaminade Resort & Spa Santa Cruz
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.

Where You’ll Be Staying
Planning a stay in Santa Cruz? Get to know the city and explore the best areas to stay.
Discover what each area has to offer and find a hotel in Santa Cruz that suits your trip, budget, and plans.
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:
- Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk – A classic California amusement park right on the sand.
- Capitola Village – Colorful seaside cottages, boutique shops, and waterfront cafés.
- Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park – Towering redwood groves with shaded hiking paths.
- Santa Cruz Wharf – Fresh seafood, sea lions, and views back toward the Boardwalk.
- Local Wineries – Small producers tucked into the Santa Cruz Mountains.
What to Expect Around Here
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.
