Discover a unique approach to wellness through the experiences of our Distinctly California destinations.
What does wellness mean to you?
Sleeping Soundly
A good night’s sleep sets the tone for the days ahead, so make restful sleep a priority in this new season. Take advantage of nature’s sound machine when you stay directly above the crashing waves of the Pacific at Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa. Or find comfort in the heart of the city at Hotel Drisco, where a luxurious pillow menu allows you to select your perfect fit from a variety of pillow styles.
Connecting with Nature
Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Northern California. A stay at The Stanford Park Hotel puts you in the heart of the Bay Area, where redwood forests, historic gardens in bloom, and some of the country’s most scenic hiking trails are easily within reach. Disconnect from daily life and reconnect with your natural surroundings at The Lodge at Bodega Bay, where peaceful beaches and rugged coastline beckon you to embrace the outdoors.
Making Time for Movement
Invigorate your mind, body and spirit through mindful movement and mediation at our complimentary wellness classes. Harvest Inn offers yoga classes on Saturday mornings beginning in the spring, where you can cultivate relaxation while soaking up exquisite views of the vineyards and the Mayacamas Mountains. The Lodge at Bodega Bay offers fitness classes including yoga, Pilates, stretching and guided meditation, as well as guided nature walks.
Eating (& Sipping) Mindfully
Focus on flavors, tune into your senses and heighten your awareness through mindful eating practices. A dinner at Coastal Kitchen, the elevated dining experience at Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, invites you to take a culinary journey with the only chef’s tasting menu in Monterey. If sipping mindfully is more your style, reserve a room at the Napa Valley Lodge and walk or bike to award-winning tasting rooms in the heart of Wine Country.
Pampering Yourself
Treat yourself to a spa day and indulge in pure relaxation. The Spa at The Park at Lafayette Park Hotel & Spa is a European-inspired spa in the sunny East Bay Area, with holistic treatments inspired by ancient rituals and a luxurious courtyard pool. Located on the top floor of the Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, the award-winning Vista Blue Spa offers dramatic, panoramic ocean views from the sundeck and hot tubs, along with a complete menu of luxurious treatments.
Nurturing Your Soul
Reconnect into stillness, practice meditation, move mindfully, journal, and eat nourishing foods prepared by the chefs of Harvest Table at Harvest Inn’s Feed Your Soul Wellness Retreat. These seasonal retreats allow you to spend the day renewing your spirit and awakening your inner strength in an idyllic oasis of vineyards, mountains and redwoods. The day will close in Wine Country style with a celebratory mindful wine tasting, toasting to your devotion to your own wellbeing.
