What they say
Also in AFAR.
Located on the beach at the edge of Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area, the Headlands Lodge boasts a sublime location…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area sits at the doorstep, where towering sand dunes and rugged tide pools meet the Pacific surf.
The rooms
Interiors pair Oregon hardwood floors, gas fireplaces, and custom Pendleton blankets with built-in leather racks for surfboards and bikes.
The outdoor hot tub
An outdoor cedar hot tub sits on the sun deck, looking straight out over the dunes and Pacific surf.
The spa
Treatment rooms host marine kelp wraps and therapeutic massage, next to a timber-accented lounge with soft fur cushions.
Studio and gym
A glass-walled studio hosts yoga classes beneath timber ceilings, and the adjoining fitness room holds Peloton bikes and free weights.
Dogs stay too.
Meridian Restaurant & Bar
Catches from local dory boats arrive under exposed timber beams, with accordion glass doors opening toward the sandy beach.
