Inn at Moonlight Beach

Inn at Moonlight Beach

10/10 Excellent
"I've visited Encinitas many times over the years, but staying at the Inn at Moonlight Beach was a uniquely uplifting experience. It felt like a stay at an ashram: peaceful, meditative, and deeply rejuvenating. The details make all the difference. Upon arrival, a small selection of dried fruit with herbs from the inn's own garden and a pot of hot herbal tea were waiting in the room. The room itself was spacious, with an outdoor space facing the garden, which is lit at night with a soft, almost surreal glow. Everything is thoughtfully designed to make you feel welcome and a world away from the hustle of the outside world."
