2025 Michelin Selected and 60 rooms
The 2025 Michelin Selected hotel distinction gives this 60-room property an external credential without implying a starred or keyed hotel. Its scale helps readers assess a resort stay with a defined room count.
3295 Dunes Drive waterfront
Dunes Drive is the planning anchor: the hotel occupies 3295 Dunes Dr in Marina and is waterfront with beach access. That supports plans built around the coast without adding a separate transit assumption.
Pool, spa, yoga, and wine tasting
Pool, spa, fitness center, yoga classes, sound healing, guided nature tours, restaurant, and wine tasting shape the on-property day. Quiet conditions and casual dress keep the stay low-friction for travelers prioritizing rest over formality.
