Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa

North of San Diego lies a distinctive take on the ranch. This 18-hectare estate features lemon, palm, and olive trees, a stream, 21 courts for racket sports from tennis to pickleball, and three imposing hacienda-style villas. Surrounding this trio of main residences, 49 casitas offer pastoral living where guests can lounge by their private fireplaces or sip freshly squeezed estate-grown lemon juice on a terrace with a view. Complementing the resort's clear wellness focus, the spa facilities include 11 treatment rooms, some of which open onto private outdoor patios, and poolside Serenity Yoga. The menu at the Rein Poolside Retreat reflects the healthy ethos, allowing guests to dine in harmony with their wellness activities. True to the ranch spirit, estate-grown eggs and vegetables take centre stage in the kitchen at the Pony Room. The omelette and California oysters are a delight.
