Exclusive Virtuoso Amenities at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay

The Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay is Northern California’s premier ocean-front resort with a jaw-dropping setting perched on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean, located only a thirty-minute drive South from San Francisco.  The elegant luxury, yet resort casual, hotel is a destination in and of itself offering the very best in service, dining, golfing, amenities and activities.


One unique thing about this great hotel, is that the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay is the only San Francisco Bay Area luxury ocean-front resort hotel.  The spectacular location, on the rugged Northern California coastline, is a wonderful place to experience 'Fire & Wine' on the California coast, with a weekend bagpipe ceremony during sunset that will make you feel like you are in Scotland.


The hotel/resort features 261 guestrooms, a 16,000 square-foot spa, 36 holes of championship golf and wonderful amenities and activities perfect for families or a couples getaway.
