The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay
California
The Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay occupies a bluff above the Pacific, with coastal views shaping both its accommodation and outdoor spaces. Rooms and suites look towards the ocean, golf courses or Northern California hills, and some terraces have fire pits for evenings outside. Two championship golf courses form part of the resort experience, with ocean views from every hole on one course and a dedicated golf concierge. The spa draws on the surrounding region in treatments including pumpkin-based options, while wine experiences introduce producers along the coast. Separate guest houses and Club-level accommodation add alternatives to the main hotel rooms, with the landscape remaining a central part of the stay.
