Perched atop the Santa Cruz Mountains, Chaminade Resort & Spa occupies 300 acres of wooded terrain featuring original 1930s Mission-style architecture. This four-star Santa Cruz hotel encompasses 156 rooms spread across eleven two-story villas, offering forest or resort views from rooms ranging from 235 to 535 square feet. The property includes two heated outdoor pools, two whirlpools, nine poolside cabanas, and four lighted tennis/pickleball courts. The fitness center provides modern equipment including Peloton bikes and operates daily from 6 AM to 8 PM. Dining options include The View restaurant, featuring outdoor terrace seating with panoramic Monterey Bay vistas. Three miles of hiking trails wind through redwood and eucalyptus groves. The property sits 37 miles from Mineta San Jose International Airport, with local beaches and downtown Santa Cruz attractions nearby.
Pros
Expansive 300-acre property features three miles of private hiking trails through native forests
Solar field with 1092 panels demonstrates environmental commitment
Dedicated pet amenities including special welcome package and pet-friendly dining patio
Recently transformed meeting spaces with flexible indoor and outdoor venues
Cons
Two-story villas without elevators may challenge some guests
60-kilometer distance from nearest major airport requires significant travel time
“Set high on a mountaintop, the appeal here lies in the striking views and tranquil atmosphere. I noticed the thoughtful addition of both family-friendly activities and dedicated adult spaces, a successful balancing act. With unique culinary events and nature trails, this place seems to encourage both indulgence and exploration.”
