Ojai Valley Inn

Ojai Valley Inn sits in the Ojai Valley, a singular California landscape known for the 'Pink Moment' — the phenomenon when at sunset the Topa Topa Mountains behind the valley turn an extraordinary shade of rose pink, visible only from within the valley. The inn has occupied this valley since 1923 and holds an AAA Five Diamond rating, making it one of California's most decorated resort properties. The 31,000-square-foot Spa Ojai is built in a Spanish mission hacienda style and includes Finnish sauna, Kuyam (a Chumash word meaning 'a place to rest together' — the spa's signature communal clay and eucalyptus treatment), and multiple thermal pools. Ojai's reputation as a center for yoga, meditation, and spiritual wellness draws a uniquely mindful clientele. The valley's orange and avocado groves, 36-hole golf, and farm-to-table restaurant complete the picture.
