PUNCHMAGAZINE.COM 45 Configured as a wellness retreat, The Sanctuary Beach Resort lets you choose your own path to replenishment. Perhaps it’s a studio or beach bluff session run by Monterey Bay Moves: morning yoga flow, core training or a sound bath meditation. Sign up for a guided nature walk, hop on a complimentary beach cruiser bike or take a dip in the outdoor heated pool. Bury your toes in the sand or swing by the “beach stick library” and play fetch with your dog. Sanctuary’s Renewal Studio & Spa offers seasideinspired massages and facial treatments with enhancements like infrared therapy, healing hot stones and seaweed mask exfoliation. There’s nourishment for the soul—and then there’s the belly. On-site restaurant Salt Wood Kitchen & Oysterette serves up traditional, lounge and al fresco dining including a “paw-tio menu.” With striking aesthetics anchored by a central live-fire kitchen and oyster bar, Salt Wood specialties include ultra-fresh oysters, whole wood-grilled catch-of-the-day and Pacific spiny lobster pasta. Salt Wood is open for brunch on the weekends. Weekdays, complement your view of sand dunes and surf with breakfast (hmmm … brioche French toast or an omelet?) delivered by picnic basket to your room. OCEAN LULLABY & GOOD NIGHT With a seaside escape, you can count on the ocean’s therapeutic presence to infuse every moment of your stay. Make time PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF: THE SANCTUARY BEACH RESORT to fully indulge your senses. Under the night sky, linger by a beach bonfire or fire pit. Sync your breath to the rhythmic lapping of the waves, inhale the cleansing scent of saltwater and feel the gentle touch of ocean breezes. Let all that mind chatter be lulled away before drifting off to sleep. coastal havens montereybeach.com thesanctuarybeachresort.com {due west}
