Rancho Valencia

Set on incomparable grounds in Rancho Santa Fe, California, the Mediterranean-inspired resort remains the only Relais & Châteaux property in Southern California and one of the world's most sought-after luxury destinations for its privacy, culinary and wellness pursuits. Spanning 45 acres of sunlit gardens, trails, olive groves and 49 guest casitas dotted throughout, Rancho Valencia has redefined R&R for the high-minded leisure traveler. Elite fitness and wellness programming mirror the San Diego lifestyle destination with an indoor-outdoor yoga pavilion, 18 tennis courts including two red European clay courts and three pickleball courts, a luxury bicycle partnership with Italy's Pinarello bicycles, and a fleet of Bentleys available complimentary for guest use. The award-winning spa exudes old-world charm while the fresh culinary approach at The Pony Room is decidedly new-guard. Enduring praise includes Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Award, AAA Five Diamond Award, U.S. News & World Report and Condé Nast Traveler.
