When it debuted in 2003, the flagship property for Montage Hotels & Resorts set the brand’s retreat vibe with its 20,000-square-foot spa, three pools and all ocean-view rooms and suites. Two decades later, the recently renovated resort still leads the way with its comprehensive spa and wellness programming and a wealth of outdoor activities on its 30 oceanfront acres, four nearby beaches and nearby wilderness areas. Maximizing the ocean view with floor-to-ceiling windows, the spa complex holds 12 massage rooms, four facial treatment rooms, two hydrotherapy rooms and three specialty indoor/outdoor rooms ideal for a couples’ massage. It also includes an adults-only lap pool, well-appointed fitness room with weights and machines, a yoga studio and separate locker rooms for men and women. There guests can unwind in a relaxation room with fireplace, warm up in a steam room, sauna, or outdoor Jacuzzi, or for the non-faint of heart, dip into a cold plunge. To feel the vibe even more, book the California Wildflower Ritual, which begins with full-body, muscle-relaxing vibrational work, adds a massage with heated herbal poultices and concludes with an orange soufflé body wrap, a foot massage with scrub, and gentle vibrations on the feet.
