The Chaminade Experience
This spectacular mountaintop resort sits high above the city about 3 miles inland from downtown Santa Cruz and the waterfront. It is conveniently located just minutes off Pacific Coast Highway (Highway 1) and close to three major airports - San Jose Airport (34 miles), Monterey Airport (40 miles) and San Francisco Airport (68 miles).
Directions:
To get there from the San Jose/San Francisco area, take Highway 1 south to Watsonville/Monterey. Exit Soquel Avenue and go right at the stop sign. Turn right at the next light onto Soquel Drive. You will cross over Highway 1 and go left at the first light onto Paul Sweet Road. Continue 0.25 miles to Chaminade Lane and make a right. The resort sits at the top of the road. As you turn onto Chaminade Lane, you will begin to feel like you are miles away from home. As you ascend the large hill lined with Eucalyptus trees leading up to the resort, the sweet scent of the forest will envelop you as you leave all the worries of the world behind.
Key Features:

Regular guest rooms sleep 2-4 guests and have the option of two queen beds or one king. Suites offer more space to indulge in and there are three types to choose from - Junior. I recommend requesting a room with a patio so you can enjoy your morning coffee out there in your bathrobe listening to the birds rustling in the trees and the peace and quiet of the forest. It’s a great way to start your day.
- The View Restaurant: The restaurant offers indoor seating as well as an expansive outdoor terrace with absolutely incredible, breathtaking views. It is a full bar and the friendly staff makes excellent cocktails.
- Hiking Trails: There is a protected area around the creek located on the Blue Trail which prevents developers from building in the area which adds to the solitude and quiet as you wind your way through the forest. Both guests and non-guests are allowed to use the trails. Watch for poison oak. You can ask for a guided tour of the trails and learn about the resort’s rich history. There is a treetop obstacle course located on the trail for team building. Trails are uneven and rough in areas so use caution especially when jogging.

Sustainability Efforts

- Energy Efforts: The Chaminade is doing its part to help protect this planet including the installation of a solar panel filed located on the property to power the resort. It uses compact florescent lighting throughout the property and has electric charging stations for guest use.
- Green Choice Program: All guests are automatically opted-in to the Chaminade Resort & Spa Green Choice program where rooms will not receive housekeeping services unless requested and guests receive vouchers for the restaurant for participating unless they choose to opt-out.
- Additional Efforts: Chaminade composts and recycles waste. To-go orders at the restaurant are packaged in containers made of corn and potato starches and it never uses Styrofoam. Menus are based on locally sourced ingredients and it works with local farmers to serve herbs and vegetables not commercially grown. Everything is bought in bulk to minimize waste. It also provides guests with bath amenities mounted in showers to eliminate the waste that comes from using miniature bottles. All cleaning products are organic and environmentally friendly and paper products are made of recyclable materials. Low maintenance and low water landscaping is implemented throughout the resort and low flow tanks are used to minimize water waste.
