Asilomar is a tranquil ocean front retreat near the rocky shoreline of California's famed Monterey Peninsula.  The center is tucked among107 acres of windswept dunes and forests of Monterey pines, oak and cypress.  Follow an easy walking path and cross the street to a pristine white sand beach.  It’s a stunning and natural environment.

Designed by acclaimed architect Julia Morgan and embracing the Arts & Crafts architectural style, the buildings at Asilomar harmonize with its spectacular setting.  Created in 1913 as a YWCA retreat, the beautiful grounds and historic buildings are now a California State Park and well known conference center.

Asilomar has a heated outdoor swimming pool, sand volleyball court, pool tables and a ping-pong table available for guests.  There are also self-guided tour booklets available at the front desk or you can call the California State Park Rangers Office at 831-646-6443 to arrange a guided tour of the historical buildings, dunes or tide pools.

The charges for room and board at Asilomar depend on the size and type of room.  Some historic rooms are small and rustic.  Please note that fees include three meals per day.
