The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

Perched on a bluff above the Pacific in Half Moon Bay’s historic district, steps from Half Moon Bay Golf Links and a short walk to Pelican Point Beach. About 20 miles from San Francisco, with easy access to coastal trails and nearby state beaches. Pet-friendly and family-friendly luxury resort vibes on the Northern California coast.

Inspired by grand 19th‑century seaside lodges, the property pairs rugged coastal views with refined interiors. Rooms feature Smart TVs, iPod docking stations, down comforters and Egyptian cotton sheets, plus private bathrooms with separate tubs and showers and designer toiletries. Expect moments like evening sunsets on a terrace and spa treatments that highlight local ingredients such as pumpkin.

Relax at a full‑service spa, swim in an indoor heated pool, or hit two championship golf courses right on the grounds. Other standouts include outdoor tennis courts, a fitness and yoga area, a library and on-site shopping. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and round out the day with fireside s'mores on a private terrace.

A 24‑hour business center, high‑speed internet and limo/town‑car service support work stays. The resort offers about 21,100 sq ft of event space with 16 meeting rooms and on-site parking for larger vehicles.

Choose from three on-site restaurants, a lively bar/lounge and 24‑hour room service. Menus lean into coastal California flavors with local wines from nearby vintners and cooked‑to‑order breakfasts each morning.
