Rancho Valencia
5921 Valencia Circle, Rancho Santa Fe
This is California’s only Relais & Châteaux property—the recently completed $30 million dollar renovation includes an immaculate spa with high-end, organic, wellness focused treatments (facials with Spirulina, sea salt/olive oil scrubs before your massage), a manicured 45 acres of gardens with hiking trails, complimentary Porsches to take for spins around the horse ranch rich San Dieguito Valley, and, of course, the rooms. The forty-nine casitas are stocked with amenities (private outdoor jacuzzis, free mini bars) and the kind of small details that elevate any stay. There are lots of activities for kiddos, too, as well as fitness-oriented wellness retreats.
