Santa Monica for Spa Lovers
Ideally situated where the Los Angeles sprawl meets the glittering Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica renders moot the notion that nobody walks in L.A. Excellent boutique shops (especially along Montana Avenue, where most of the hippie-glam locals shop), and nearly 400 restaurants, cafés, and bars are all packed into just 8.3 square miles bordered by three sandy miles of quintessential California coastline. At the center of it all, perched amid five secluded acres of lush gardens on a bluff overlooking the beach, is the exquisite Fairmont Miramar Hotel, where a Single & The City package (available through March 31, 2008) covers overnight accommodation, a continental breakfast, and an amenity kit with maps and activity ideas. The coup de grace though, is the spa add-on covering treatment options like a massage, facial, or mani/pedi, plus yoga or toning classes overlooking the Pacific.
