Staying at Whitewater in Cambria

If you’re heading to California’s Central Coast and looking for a place that feels both design-forward and deeply relaxing, White Water in Cambria is a dreamy stay. Nestled right along Moonstone Beach, this boutique hotel blends modern Scandinavian style with cozy coastal charm.

The rooms are beautifully curated—think natural textures, calming tones, and thoughtful details like local ceramics, soft robes, and cozy blankets. Our room had a fireplace and ocean views, which made for the perfect slow mornings with coffee and sunrise walks just steps away.

One of my favorite parts? The breakfast basket delivered each morning, filled with local pastries, mimosas and coffee. After breakfast, we rode bikes from the hotel and rode along the street by the beach, then relaxed by the fire pit in the evening with a cocktail in hand.

It’s the kind of place that feels like a true escape—quiet, peaceful, and perfectly in tune with the natural beauty around it. Whether you’re celebrating something special like we were or just craving a change of pace, Cambria is the sleepy kind of stay you won’t want to leave.
