This Craftsman-style resort, one of the newest in the area, celebrates art, nature, and luxury in equal measure. Works by contemporary and early-20th-century artists fill the interior; outside, an oceanfront bluff eases down to a pristine white beach, where you can meet with an on-staff marine biologist to learn about the local marine life. Guest rooms are plush, with ocean views, CD/DVD players, and extra-deep tubs. At the oceanfront spa and fitness center, you can indulge in a sea-salt scrub, take a yoga class, or hit the lap pool. The restaurant, Studio ($$$$; no lunch except on Sunday), has gained national recognition for chef James Boyce's contemporary French cuisine.
