The Getty Villa houses ancient treasures in a setting so Mediterranean you'll forget you're in California. Hike through wildflowers in the Santa Monica Mountains, where trails reveal panoramic ocean views worth every drop of sweat.

Calamigos Ranch Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"What a wonderful birthday getaway. We went early on the day of our stay and had access to all the amenities including the private beach club. We stopped at the beach club first had a delightful charcuterie plate handmade cocktails while relaxing upstairs with an ocean view. Check-in was a breeze and the service exceptional. I mentioned it was my husbands birthday and they surprised us with a complementary plate of chocolate strawberries delivered to our room. The cottage was private with a balcony fireplace soaking tub and complementary champagne. It felt like a 5 star private oasis. A special thank you to the staff and concierge for their attention to detail and making us feel like a cherished guest."

10/10 Excellent

"I was greeted in the office and it was a quick check-in to get my room key. Staff was friendly. My room was clean. There was a small refrigerator for me to use. I setup my computer on the desk space and was able to work from my room. Plenty of daylight and you could open the windows for a breeze of fresh air. The shades were blackout so you could get a good nights rest. Great shower, spacious bathroom. The ocean view was amazing, as were the adorable hummingbirds that played in the palm trees right outside my balcony. Loved the balcony. I didn’t use the pool but it was very clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs surrounding it to use. Parking was available. Location was walkable to grocer, etc. and to public beach access— so you can see and do plenty without a car."
