The Inn at Newport Ranch
Fort Bragg, California, United States
Set on a 2,200-acre coastal estate along the Mendocino Coast, this inn offers rugged natural beauty and refined comfort. Situated between the Pacific Ocean and old-growth redwood forests, the working cattle ranch spans seven distinct microclimates. With ocean bluffs, a mile and a half of coastline, meadows, and ridgelines, it's a haven for hikers, nature photographers, and anyone looking to explore diverse ecosystems.
With a historic farmstead dating back over 150 years, the inn features bespoke architecture and sustainable practices, using locally sourced stone, wood, and glass to complement its surroundings. Guests can enjoy ranch cuisine crafted from foraged and local ingredients by Executive Chef Nick Wells, relax in the fireside spa, and explore extensive private trails. From hiking 25 miles of trails and enjoying sunset cocktails overlooking the Pacific to exploring seasonal tasting menus, guests find an escape into nature.
