Pick a Perfect View

Slip into a private spa tub, curl up next to a glowing fire or listen to the roar of the ocean just steps from your private balcony. Linger by a grand lobby fireplace, enjoy a wine and cheese reception or just linger in the luxurious setting of your room. Find chocolates at your bedside or arrange for a sprinkling of rose petals at turn-down for memories that will last a lifetime. Have a bottle of Champagne, flowers or a romantic basket of treats waiting for your arrival. Many Cannon Beach resorts offer special packages and services, whether you're planning a romantic retreat or a group event.

In addition to massage, a wide range of spa services are available including health and beauty treatments. Treat yourself to a facial, body wrap or hydrotherapy. Soak, scrub and luxuriate to make your Cannon Beach celebration one of health and well-being.

Wine and Dine
Here at the edge of the ocean, highly acclaimed chefs use fresh local ingredients to create innovative and classically inspired dishes. Savor a romantic candlelit dinner in an intimate setting, sample the flavors of the Northwest coast, splurge on exquisite dessert creations and choose from extensive wine lists.
