The pilgrim’s guide
What makes this visit meaningful
New Camaldoli is built for silence and contemplation rather than coastal sightseeing; rooms, meals, prayer, and the Big Sur landscape serve a self-directed retreat.
01
Choose the right lodging
Retreat-house rooms, private hermitages, and men-only cloister cottages have different rules and rates.
02
Check Highway 1
Big Sur road conditions can alter or prevent access even after a room is reserved.
Overnight stay available
Retreat-house rooms and private hermitages welcome silent retreatants for two to fourteen nights; cloister cottages are a separate men-only option.
