Nestled deep in the mighty redwood forest of Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Big Sur Lodge has long been a haven for writers, artists, seekers of beauty, and weary travelers in search of the peace and majesty that the ancient redwoods bestow on body and soul.
Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park is often called “mini-Yosemite” for its natural splendors. With the rugged central California Pacific coastline to the west and the dramatic Santa Lucia mountain range to the east, Big Sur Lodge offers families and adventurers a rejuvenating escape from the hectic pace of everyday life.
Big Sur Lodge is well known for its exquisite beauty, dramatic vistas and temperate climates. Enjoy a peaceful, serene vacation in any of our 62 cottage-style guest rooms nestled in the forest.

One of our all-time favorite company retreat destinations outside of SF that has been somewhat inaccessible the last couple of years. Big Sur is Back! This region is becoming one of our most popular retreat destinations for team offsites and executive retreats. The venues we have access to in Big Sur range from tent camping to 4 star cabin lodging. The experience here is what truly sets it apart. Arrive to a coastal hike and lunch, check-into your accommodations and then get ready for a lodge-style workspace for the afternoon meetings. Our private chef in Big Sur uses all local and organic ingredients to design a custom menu around any teams dietary restrictions. Ask about the Bon Fire and Local Native American Fire Dancing experience in Big Sur!
Why We Love Big Sur:
For a team offsite or executive retreat, Big Sur can offer a truly special experience. Formally knows as Al Grande, Big Sur is defined by it’s rigid shoreline and awe-inspiring landscape. Just driving in to the town, from the north or south, is really an experience everyone should have in California.
We jump at the opportunity to introduce a team to this amazing destination.
As mentioned above, Big Sur is especially great for smaller teams. We find it a popular retreat and offsite destination for executive teams coming from the Bay Area.
Big Sur is at the higher price point for a team to go offsite which is one reason we believe we have more interest from smaller teams and executive teams.
It is a bigger drive than other top destinations so typically our groups are staying for no less than two nights in Big Sur.
When we think about activities for teams in Big Sur for team building, the options truly are endless. The hiking trails are certainly something to write home about. Long, meandering trails that can take you up to look-out over the Pacific Ocean that you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere. That same trail can take you across the famous Big Sur River and then end with your teams toes in the sand on the beach.
Big Sur also offers an array of historical and cultural experiences that are important and unique to the area. Look into Native American Traditional Experiences like Fire Dances and “Dinner in The Sur”. These are incredibly unique team bonding opportunities in Big Sur that you really can’t find anywhere else.
