Asilomar is located on the Monterey Peninsula in charming Pacific Grove, California. Its restored dune ecosystem and its historic “Arts and Crafts” style architecture (designed by the world renowned Julia Morgan) come together to make Asilomar a designated National Historic Landmark. And it’s no surprise—its 107 acres of beachfront property provide endless breathtaking views and opportunities for marine wildlife watching, creating a peaceful retreat for anyone (or any size group, with its ample meeting and conference spaces) seeking a meditative, restorative, and grounding place to stay.

Historic and contemporary rooms are available.
