Carmel Valley Ranch Resort

Carmel Valley Ranch Resort

Carmel, California

The Ranch is a 1,700-acre refuge six miles up the valley from the storybook town Carmel. Its 144 suites, all with fireplaces and outside decks, trail along the live oak-clad hillside made all the more appealing by bed after bed of petunias, zinnias, roses, poppies, iris, and snapdragons. This elevated perch overlooks the valley nine of a Pete Dye golf course. The tennis complex on the other hand, snared an 1890 farmhouse as a courtside cafe and fitness center, and it has a swimming pool and hot tub to go with its 11 hard and clay courts, bordered like the hotel by a Monetscape of flowers.

Tennis Staff. Bruce Haase, a very experienced Peter Burwash International pro, runs the operation here. He played provincial tournaments in Canada and then began his teaching career at the Inn at Manitou. That led to his joining PBI in 1976—Peter Burwash himself trained the Inn's pros during that era—which set in motion a career that has taken him all over the world, partly through traveling with the PBI Tennis Show, a Harlem Globetrotters'-like exhibition of ball control and humorous skits, and partly through postings in Hawaii, Texas, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Singapore before landing at the Carmel Valley Ranch in November of 1999. Along the way he has done extensive work with teaching tennis to the handicapped, including those in wheelchairs and those who are blind or deaf. He's also a certified umpire and referee.

Carmel Valley Ranch offers something for everyone! Play your choice of hard or clay tennis courts. Challenge yourself on our 18-hole "must play" golf course designed by Pete Dye. Enjoy your favorite spa services in the comfort of your guest suite at the Carmel Valley Ranch. Shop and sightsee in Carmel. Explore the beautiful mountains on horseback. Relax in a spacious suite full of delightful touches such as fireplaces, panoramic mountain views and Jacuzzis (in some suites).

Luxury means having everything you desire - and more. Carmel Valley Ranch, a 400-acre countryside estate surrounded by the lush forests of the Santa Lucia Mountains, is the perfect luxury destination.
