Your California

Neighborhoods Central Coast

To learn why California’s beautiful coastline has haunted and mesmerized so many tourists, take a drive on California’s scenic Highway 1 from San Francisco to Los Angeles. California’s Central Coast starts as soon as you leave the San Francisco Bay Area, passing by alternative Santa Cruz, historical Monterey, artsy Carmel, heavenly Big Sur, mesmerizing Morro Bay, traditional San Luis Obispo, beautiful Santa Barbara, and spiritual Ojai before you enter the edges of Los Angeles.

The Central Coast is paradise for nature-lovers and foodies alike. Learn to surf in Santa Cruz, breathe in while enjoying the 17-mile-drive, explore cannery row and the aquarium in Monterey, indulge in art, shopping and culinary delights in Carmel-by-the-sea, go wine tasting in Carmel Valley, hike on Big Sur’s gorgeous state parks, or revisit your tan on Santa Barbara’s many beautiful beaches.

Spread along this 273 mile-long unadulterated landscape, Joie de Vivre offers you a collection of stylish hotels that will give you a true taste of the west coast.
