This resort also offers some rare mind-body wellness experiences, like Kuyam, a treatment that combines the therapeutic effects of intense dry heat, self-applied desert clays, and inhalation therapy. Guests can also head to Meditation Mount, a meditation center with sweeping views of Ojai Valley, for sunrise and full-moon yoga. Yogis have their pick from a robust class schedule that spans the style spectrum, from Gentle Yoga, which is more of a meditation with stretches, to Yoga Sculpt, which uses resistance and weights as you move through the postures. Whether you believe in the Ojai vortex, or not, you’ll marvel at how the sun casts a pink glow on the surrounding mountains at sunset and the peacefulness you’ll feel entering this charming enclave with a creative spirit. (Tired bodies are rewarded with a daily therapeutic massage.) An organic, cleansing cuisine is also core to The Pearl Laguna retreat experience, and guests dine on a completely vegetarian menu that includes healing teas, juices, and broths.Ībout 80 miles north of Los Angeles (and roughly 15 miles from the ocean), this historic luxury resort sits in a valley that has been believed by many throughout the years to be an energetic hotspot, or “vortex,” that holds mystical powers. Guests also venture out daily for a three-hour guided hike exploring some of the coastal canyon’s 20,000 acres of open space.

Nestled near the ocean in Laguna Canyon, this sanctuary accommodates just 14 guests at a time (for weeklong visits), which makes for a more intimate, personalized stay. Our perfect day: Start the morning with a Yoga Flow session then head out for an exploratory nature walk with panoramic ocean views dine on fresh, organic fare at the new poolside bar, Rein then visit the spa for a restorative 90-minute Elemental Massage.Īt this Laguna Beach luxury retreat property, the foundational belief is that transformative, positive change can be found through one approach: an immersion in yoga and nature.

The Mediterranean-inspired resort is nestled on 45 acres of peaceful gardens and olive groves just a few miles from the Pacific, and The Spa at Rancho Valencia has set the bar for luxury wellness retreats.
This five-star, five-diamond property in San Diego County’s tony Rancho Santa Fe amounts to a perfect 10 on the serenity scale. Here is a half-dozen picks, listed south to north, for luxurious getaways that deliver wellness benefits that linger long after check-out.
