Omni Rancho Las Palmas

If you're looking for an excuse to get out of the city and spend some much-needed time at the spa getting pampered, this 240-acre family resort is the spot for you. A sprawling property with a 27-hole golf course and its own mini-water park, you’ll need a map just to find your way around the place. A good starting point would be breakfast at the main restaurant, bluEmber: think crab cake Benedict and brioche French toast with local dates. Though, for most, the main draw is the spa itself, with more 50 different treatments ranging from traditional (Swedish massage) to tropical (guava body scrub).
