Located in the heart of California’s Central Coast, Dolphin Bay is an exceptional oceanfront getaway. Comprised entirely of one- and two-bedroom suites, guest units feel like luxurious apartments with fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities, and spacious living areas. The suites are so well-designed and decorated that it would be easy to settle in comfortably for a week or more. The bluff-side setting is our favorite feature—many of the suites have phenomenal views of the ocean and rugged coastline. The physical footprint of the hotel is small, with just enough hotel-type amenities to make relaxing a breeze, including a year-round heated pool, excellent restaurant, and spa offering an array of treatments. Shell Beach is a short walk away, and there are a variety of beach communities to explore in the area, as well as access to top notch wine tasting.
