Located in the canyon of Rancho Santa Fe on 40 manicured acres of rolling hills, this relaxing retreat is just minutes from the charming boutiques and cafés of La Jolla. If you’re looking for something secluded, this is it. The resort is made up of 20 pink casitas, which house only 49 suites, each featuring fireplaces with hand-painted tiles, beamed ceilings and private garden patios and large bathrooms, some with Jacuzzi bathtubs and steam showers. There’s also an award-winning tennis program, spa and privileges at local golf courses. An outstanding restaurant makes for a perfect stay.
