Ojai

On the run from summer’s triple-threat of smog, traffic, and hundred-degree heat, Angelenos have long escaped to southern California's idyllic Ojai Valley for its cool collection of New Age spirituality centers and luxe spa facilities (highlighted by the famed 31,000-square-foot spa village at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa). Factor in sparkling white Spanish architecture, fragrant citrus groves, and a heavenly Mediterranean climate (the ocean is only 20 minutes away) and you have the perfect recipe for a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat. Don't miss out on the soothing classical music of the Ojai Music Festival (held every June), or groove to the series of folk, roots, and celtic live music performers brought to Ojai on select dates year round, courtesy of the Ojai Concert Series.

How: Fly direct to Los Angeles (LAX) from major cities across the U.S.; it's an 80-mile drive from LA to Ojai.
