Post Ranch Inn
Big Sur, United States
Take a break from the children (as well as everyone else) and cosy up in one of the secluded cabins dotted along this sliver of Californian cliff. The 19th century homestead takes eco-luxe seriously with solar panels, recycled-redwood lodges and the little oases of green. Dine on summer truffles and artichoke ravioli in the ranch-style Sierra Mar before heading outside wielding a lavender martini for the best stargazing experience of your life - there's no kids menu here. Pro tip: For ultimate isolation, request the Pfeiffer cabin. Perched at the end of the resort, the only signs of life here are the hum of birdsong and the gentle lapping of ocean waves.
