Spa & Wellness
Treat Yourself – Body, Mind, and Spirit
Welcome to the newly reimagined Post Ranch Spa. Offering a full range of transformative treatments and immersive wellness journeys, the redesigned sanctuary invites you to step away from the world and into something quieter. From soothing massages and immersive rituals to intimate couples’ experiences and botanical skin care, each experience is rooted in the quiet restorative power of Big Sur. Beyond the treatment room, shamanic healing sessions, meditation, yoga, and a curated sleep program round out an approach to wellness that is as soulful as the land on which it sits.
The Post Ranch Spa is for the exclusive use of hotel guests.
THE NEW POST RANCH SPA
Wellness, Reimagined
Introducing the new Post Ranch Spa. Nearly twice the size of the original, the redesigned space features five treatment rooms, a new welcome lounge, and an aesthetic rooted in the landscape itself, offering warm wood tones and floor-to-ceiling views of the ancient redwoods that blur the line between indoors and out. A new ventilation system keeps every room filled with fresh Big Sur air, enhancing the sense of deep, unhurried calm.
Five treatment spaces include a single room and two couples rooms, all framed by the forest, with one couples room adding a private soaking tub and shower. A dedicated facial room bathed in natural light offers a curated menu of restorative skincare treatments. For those seeking deeper restoration, a private infrared sauna session for two can be added to any treatment. And at the center of it all is the spa’s most immersive offering, the Redwood Sanctuary, a private wellness suite for two with its own distinct menu of couples treatments and experiences. Discover a destination worthy of the wild beauty that surrounds it.
Spa Treatments
The treatments at the Post Ranch Spa are rooted in the living landscape around you, from the ancient redwoods, the cliffs above the Pacific, and the vast open sky overhead. From deeply rejuvenating massages and immersive rituals to intimate couples’ experiences and botanical skin care, each treatment is an expression of this sacred place. This is restoration in its truest form. Unhurried, elemental, and designed to quiet the mind and awaken the body.
SPACES BUILT FOR STILLNESS
Treatment Rooms
The Post Ranch Spa features five newly designed treatment spaces. Three rooms, including one for individuals and two for couples, offer floor-to-ceiling views of coastal redwoods and granite mountain peaks, bringing the forest into the treatment itself. One couples room adds a private indoor soaking tub and shower for a fully immersive experience. A dedicated facial room bathed in natural light offers a curated menu of restorative skincare treatments. At the heart of the spa is the Redwood Sanctuary, the spa’s most immersive offering, a private wellness suite for two with its own distinct menu of couples treatments and experiences.
COUPLES WELLNESS SUITE
The Redwood Sanctuary
Nestled in a private redwood setting and bathed in natural light, the Redwood Sanctuary is an intimate haven designed exclusively for two. The experience unfolds from a restorative prelude to your chosen treatment, closing with champagne and culinary delights. Here, surrounded by ancient redwoods, time stands still and is entirely your own.
AIR QUALITY
Breathe Deeply
The Post Ranch Spa is now equipped with an advanced energy recovery ventilation (ERV) system from Zehnder, continuously replacing the air throughout he entire spa, including each treatment space, with fresh, pure outdoor air drawn from the Big Sur coastline. Nothing is recirculated, resulting in fewer alergens, reduced odors and fragrances, less dust, and air that feels lighter to breathe. The system also recovers the energy it uses in the process, so it’s efficient as well as effective. It’s a small piece of a much larger commitment, and proof that sustainability and luxury aren’t competing goals, they’re one and the same. Right down to the air you breathe.
Spa Policies
We are devoted to helping you renew your sense of calm as you relax your mind, body, and spirit.

About Shaman Rob Somers
Rob Somers is a shamanic practitioner whose work is guided by a vision of helping people live in the right relationship with themselves, others, nature, and the Universe. After miraculously surviving Stage IV cancer, having learned the difference between curing and healing, Rob sought a deeper understanding of healing and discovered Peruvian Shamanism. He completed training at The Four Winds Society with Dr. Alberto Villoldo, then continued his studies in the Peruvian Andes and Amazon, learning directly from indigenous shamans.
Shaman Rob has also trained extensively with Peruvian shaman Jose Luis Herrera, whose ability to bridge modern and indigenous worlds has greatly influenced his practice. Rob continues to travel to the Andes and/or the Amazon annually with his mentor, as well as to ancient vestiges of the Incan empire throughout South America to further his education. Today, Rob shares his knowledge to help others reconnect with their authentic selves and the healing wisdom and powers of the natural world.
