Welcome To The Sanctuary Beach Resort

A LUXURY MONTEREY BEACH HOTEL

Nestled on 19 acres of pristine Pacific shoreline, The Sanctuary Beach Resort invites you to escape and enjoy the best of the California Coast.

When you’re ready to explore, discover local wineries and all the sights of Monterey Bay. You’ll also find open spaces, modern facilities, state-of-the-art technology, and California hospitality perfect for hosting groups and events. 

The Perfect Getaway On The California Coast

The Sanctuary Beach Resort invites you to experience a luxurious seaside escape in Monterey Bay. Nestled between the rolling hills of the Carmel Valley and ocean tides of the Marina Dunes, this tranquil retreat is marked by natural beauty, thoughtful amenities, and world-class area attractions. The resort is perfect for romantic escapes, family vacations, and group getaways.

Staying here, you’ll have near-endless options for relaxation and adventure. When you’re not taking advantage of the private beach access or lounging by the pool, you can enjoy beach yoga, hikes along the dunes, and sunset bonfires.

The Sanctuary Beach Resort is a short drive from attractions in Monterey and Carmel. Our Guest Experience Team will be happy to arrange whale-watching excursions, Moss Landing foodie tours, Big Sur hikes, and more. You can also head to downtown Monterey to explore the Old Fisherman’s Wharf and the renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium.
