We’re building The Refuge at Sky Ridge for people like you, those seeking more than the same old "consumer" hotel experience, crowds, lines, noise; ORDINARY!
We dreamed of a place far from Ordinary, a place to reconnect with nature, yourself, and your people.
As San Diego locals, we saw something missing: a retreat that balances private serenity and shared experiences.
All just minutes from the city—yet it feels like a world away.

At The Refuge, The Commons Restuarant and The Citrus & Sage Spa unite wellness and connection.

Enjoy chef-crafted meals that are locally and regionally sourced from the land you’re standing on—real food, grown with care.
Escape the ordinary without the hassle—just 30 minutes from San Diego International Airport, indulging in local wineries, golf courses, and casinos is a breeze.
Discover a side of San Diego few know—where horseback trails meet vineyard views, hikes turn into mountain rides, farm-to-table meals follow sunset rounds of golf, and nights end with starlit gatherings or the glow of group and private firepits'. Tucked in to the highland ridges of the Jamul Mountains, this quiet retreat blends nature, adventure, and indulgence—all just minutes away.
The Refuge is more than a luxury escape—it’s a regenerative, solar-powered retreat that actively restores the land. Our orchard systems are estimated to sequester 40 metric tons of CO₂ annually, supported by deep-well water, efficient irrigation, and greywater reuse. With no-till farming, native plants, and solar infrastructure, every stay contributes to healthier soil, cleaner air, and a lighter footprint.
The Refuge at Sky Ridge is an eco-luxury resort blending nature, comfort, and regenerative agriculture, for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, nomads and anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind escape. With upscale accommodations and amenities feed the soul.
We’re perched in the highland ridges of Jamul Mountains—30 minutes East of SD International Airport, in the community of Jamul. From the West you use highways 94 or 8 East bound. we are 5 minutes from Rancho San Diego, 10 min from the City of El Cajon.
We’re targeting late 2026 for our first stays at The Refuge. Guests who reserve early through our crowdfunding campaign will have priority access when booking opens.
The Refuge isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to reset. Here, you’ll experience eco-luxury accommodations, regenerative farming, and a setting designed for real connection. Whether you come for the views, the stillness, or the shared moments around the fire, The Refuge offers something rare: a chance to return to what matters.
