Treebones Resort: California’s Top Destination for Laid-Back Luxury

California has long been at the forefront of all things luxury, beauty, and lifestyle. From luxury grocery stores like Erewhon and organic food to an emphasis on yoga and peaceful meditation, the future of health and wellness is sure to come from the Golden State. And one wellness secret that Californians are all raging about? Nature as self-care.

Treebones Resort takes glamping to a whole new level. Here, glamping isn’t a step up from regular camping: it’s having access to daily morning yoga, a private massage, prix-fixe menus, or Omikase dinners, all with the Pacific Ocean in the backdrop.

The Accommodation at Treebones Resort

At Treebones Resort, guests have the option to stay in one of their many eco-friendly, spacious rooms: from to their Autonomous Tent Collection, which has the spaciousness and amenities of a traditional room (including a Nespresso machine and Dyson Hairdryer), to their The Cove Tiny Home, which boasts a romantic “private soaking tub, a deck, and fire pit lounging area” or, most notably, their Yurts. All three options boast beautiful views of the rugged Pacific coastline, cleansing oceanic air, and plush king-sized beds with modern furniture. 

When creating their dream resort back in 2002, the owners and founders of Treebones Resort stated they were seeking to “create a unique lodging experience that perched lightly in the land” (TreebonesResort.com), ultimately opting for the Yurts that have become the signature lodging option Treebones is best known for. They have since expanded into more luxe offerings, but never losing sight of their mission: to share their love of “the land, sea & animals and care for them to the best of [their] abilities” (TreebonesResort.com).
