Cal-a-Vie Health Spa

The Best Spas for a Weekend Getaway

"This French Provençal–style spot forty-five miles north of San Diego has tons to recommend it. For starters, its thirty-two villas sit on more than 500 private acres, ensuring you’ll have plenty of space to yourself. Then there are the sunrise hikes on the resort’s ten miles of private trails, the tennis and pickleball courts, two pools, an eighteen-hole golf course, a stargazing observatory with astronomer-guided lectures, and more than 160 wellness classes from cardio kickboxing to mind-body-spirit tutorials to nutritional lessons. You can enjoy it all—along with daily treatments at the seventeen-room spa—through Cal-a-Vie’s three-, four-, and seven-night packages." - Andrew Sessa
