At this Mediterranean-inspired SoCal escape, private gates open onto 45 acres of gardens, olive groves and 49 casitas, which have all been thoughtfully renovated (along with the restaurant, bar, meeting spaces, spa and fitness center). Recreation can be found in many forms, from active sports to leisure activities. Guests can partake in the excellent tennis program, as well as spin and Pilates classes, hot air balloon rides, croquet and bocce ball. Also popular is whiling the day away at one of two outdoor heated pools and hot tubs – one family and one adults-only – or at The Spa at Rancho Valencia, where the treatments utilize rejuvenating herbs, flowers, oils and minerals.

Breathtaking views of Kauna‘oa Beach from Mauna Kea Beach Hotel located on the the Kohala Coast of Hawaii’s Big Island.
Mauna Kea Beach Hotel
One of the most pleasant aspects of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel on Hawaii’s Big Island, is its 258 guest rooms and suites, which have been gracefully restored with preservation in mind. Rather than being given a new look, the accommodations were allowed to retain their original simple elegance. Natural wood interiors frame private lanais, and an open-air design brings the outdoors in; all elements conspire to create a wonderful tranquility. The rooms are comfy in a laid-back residential way and well stocked with thoughtful amenities and some feature oceanview baths. Condo and villa rentals are also available, popular with families and vacationers seeking a little more privacy.
