There’s never been a better time to escape the city and head to the valley. Sprawling across 220 lush acres, with ancient oak trees, colorful flowers and blooming roses, Ojai Valley Inn has recently been reimagined as an even more luxurious getaway from the everyday.

The year-long, $3 million renovation of Spa Ojai sees expansive lounge areas, whirlpools, a steam room and sauna, spread out over 31,000 square feet.

The magical property has just unveiled its stunning, year-long, $3 million renovation of its acclaimed Spa Ojai, complete with expansive lounge areas, whirlpools, steam room and sauna, spread out over 31,000 square feet. Don’t miss the Ojai Body Polish treatment, which combines the best of the natural setting with ingredients like lemon verbena, lavender or rosemary.

Following in the steps of the serene spa, the newly renovated villas, which just debuted this spring, are filled with blissful interiors that include hardwood floors, handmade wool rugs, specially curated artwork, and luxurious bathrooms with Baltic silver marble, deep soaking tubs, and outdoor areas for lounging and dining, complete with private fire tables.

The Howard Backen-designed Farmhouse hosts such acclaimed chefs as Nancy Silverton for small dinners and cooking demonstrations.

In addition to creating an environment of tranquility, the property boasts eight dining outlets, as well as its Howard Backen-designed Farmhouse, which hosts such acclaimed chefs as Nancy Silverton and Evan Funke for small dinners and cooking demonstrations, as well as the residency for Napa’s legendary The Restaurant at Meadowood.

With four swimming pools, a golf course that was established in 1923, tennis, an apothecary to create your own custom scented oils and candles, an artist cottage, and an ideal mountain setting for miles of hiking and biking trails, there’s no better place to find refuge this season than at Ojai Valley Inn.
