Chaminade Resort & Spa

Situated between the mountains covered with redwoods and the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean, the Chaminade Resort & Spa provides an excellent venue for both vacations and business retreats. Its 156 luxury guest rooms and suites feature the hues of the California coast along with contemporary Spanish furnishings, granite bathrooms, Lather toiletries, and down duvets.

Apropos of its commitment to the natural environment, the resort has created the Green Spa Experience, using all natural skin and body care products. The wellness services offered here are holistic, ranging from deep tissue massage and reflexology to relaxing facials, aromatherapy, body wraps, and Reiki treatments. Spa guests also have access to a steam room, a sauna, and the private Spa patio with its Jacuzzi and koi pond.

Among the resort's other onsite facilities are a heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, and a complete fitness center. For dining, two restaurants are on the premises. Linwood's Bar & Grill serves contemporary California cuisine for lunch and dinner from 11am to 11pm daily, while the Sunset Restaurant offers a sumptuous buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus a highly popular Sunday Brunch.

The tranquil surroundings of Chaminade Resort & Spa make for a productive and distraction-free conference venue.
