If you dream of getting off the grid while relaxing in an atmosphere of serenity, the Sea Ranch Lodge offers that perfect and surprisingly hard-to-come-by combination of nature and nurture. The 17-room lodge leans into its eco-conscious cred, maximizing the natural beauty of the Northern California coastal surroundings and bringing those elements indoors to create a fully restorative experience. Adjacent to the lodging wing, the South Building houses a restaurant, referred to as the Dining Room, a casual cafe with outdoor porch seating, and a cozy bar that opens to a glass-walled solarium lounge. You could spend days exploring the property and find plenty to do, starting with a hike along the Bluff Trail, which hugs the cliff top connecting a string of sheltered beaches and coves. Closest to the lodge, it’s a staircase to Black Point Beach before the trail continues to Pebble Beach, Stengel Beach, and Shell Beach. Perfect your game at the Sea Ranch Golf Course, an 18-hole Scottish-style links course designed in two phases by Robert Muir Graves to incorporate the natural elements of the seaside terrain. Head off the property to pick up the regional vibe and you’ll find a string of shabby-chic coastal villages that teeter on the verge of hipness. Poke around the eclectic shops, galleries, and cafes of Gualala, Point Arena, and Elk and you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled on the Mendocino of 50 years ago, when artists first began setting up galleries and studios in ramshackle storefronts. Package includes:

• Two-night stay at The Sea Ranch Lodge
• Dinner for two at The Dining Room
• Private Farm Tour
• Golf + lunch for two at The Links
