Located on a wooded hillside overlooking the Pacific Ocean, The Highlands Inn dates back to 1916. Now under Hyatt's management, the resort remains every bit as glamorous with a wealth of luxury amenities at your disposal. Stop by the award-winning Pacific’s Edge restaurant or the casual California Market restaurant for dinner, or grab a cocktail in the Sunset Lounge. Highlands Inn offers countless ways to relax - take a dip in the heated outdoor swimming pool, book a yoga lesson in the morning or schedule a spa treatment to truly indulge.
