Elite 8: The World’s Most Spectacular Cliffside Hotels (4 of 5)

6. One&Only Mandarina – Mexico

You haven’t truly experienced paradise if you haven’t been a guest at the One&Only Mandarina resort, a cliff-top hotel that overlooks the Riviera Nayarit, a nearly 200-mile coastline in western Mexico. What sets this resort apart from the rest is access to a cliff-edge infinity pool made of glass, which offers unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean. The resort’s exclusive treehouses are for adults only, making it the perfect destination for a honeymoon or romantic getaway.

7. Post Ranch Inn – California, USA

If you aren’t sure whether to visit San Francisco or Los Angeles, the Post Ranch Inn, located on the California big sur between the two cities, is the perfect compromise. Luxury? Yes. Limited availability? You bet! The Post Ranch Inn has a mere 39 rooms, each with its unique design, which means you should definitely book plenty of time in advance. You get views of the Pacific Ocean, the California Redwoods, and formidable mountains. The hotel’s glass-enclosed restaurant, Sierra Mar, provides an exquisite dining experience while you gaze up at the stars.
