Perched on a bluff above the Pacific in Mendocino, Brewery Gulch Inn is built from reclaimed "sinker" logs, some 100 to 150 years old, in a clean arts-and-crafts style. Rooms and common spaces look out over pines and surf, and the property borders 48,000 acres of meadow and redwood forest.
The wellness side of the inn covers massage, yoga sessions, a Shinshin experience built around time outdoors, and sound therapy using flutes, drums, gongs, chimes and crystal bowls. There's a relaxation lounge on site, and the setup leans toward couples looking for a quiet few days rather than a single treatment.
Meals are part of the stay: mornings and afternoons bring simple, locally sourced bites, while evenings shift to Meadow Boxes, a bento-style dinner paired with wine. Couples who want something more private can book the Chef's Table, a four-course meal for two.
The spa and its amenities are tied to an overnight stay — access is for hotel guests, not outside day-trippers. Front desk and wellness hours run from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. The inn sits on Highway 1 at 9401 CA-1, within reach of downtown Mendocino's shops, trails and coastal viewpoints.
