Luxury Healing HotelsOjai Valley Inn
Ojai Valley Inn Overview
First Impressions
The Ojai Valley Inn sits like a Spanish colonial dream against the backdrop of the Topa Topa Mountains, and honestly — the setting alone is worth the drive up from Los Angeles. This five-star resort has been welcoming guests since 1923, and you can feel that history the moment you pull into the circular drive. The pink-hued buildings blend seamlessly with the golden hills of Ojai, creating this almost mystical atmosphere that locals call “the pink moment” when the mountains glow at sunset.
The Grounds and Activities
What really sets this place apart is how they’ve managed to create a luxury resort that doesn’t feel stuffy or pretentious. The golf course stretches across 220 acres of rolling terrain — I mean, you’re literally playing through orange groves and oak trees. There’s also a tennis court tucked away near the spa, and the fitness center actually has windows that frame the mountains (which makes those morning workouts almost bearable). The parking situation is refreshingly stress-free too, something you don’t always find at California resorts.
Accommodations That Actually Deliver
The room I stayed in had this perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort — think exposed wooden beams paired with marble bathrooms and those beds that guests rave about online. And they’re right about the beds, by the way. The linens feel expensive without being fussy, and the pillows actually support your head instead of just looking pretty. Each accommodation opens onto either a private patio or balcony, and if you’re lucky enough to get a mountain view, well — you’ll understand why couples rate this place so highly.
Dining and Wellness
The main restaurant, Olivella, focuses on farm-to-table cuisine using ingredients from their own herb garden and local Ojai farms. It’s the kind of place where you can taste the difference that fresh, local sourcing makes. The spa deserves its own mention — treatments incorporate Ojai’s famous pixie tangerines and local botanicals, which sounds gimmicky but actually works beautifully. You know what really impressed me though? The staff seems to genuinely understand the healing retreat concept rather than just going through the motions.
Why Guests Love It
There’s something about Ojai Valley Inn that makes you want to slow down and actually breathe. Maybe it’s the way the morning light filters through the oak trees, or how the evening air carries hints of sage and citrus. The resort manages to feel both exclusive and welcoming — you’ll see families playing by the pool alongside couples on romantic getaways and solo travelers seeking that authentic California wellness experience. It’s not cheap, but for a true luxury retreat that delivers on both relaxation and genuine hospitality, this place gets it right.

They really made us feel so celebrated since we went for our anniversary! Not one person from the staff didn’t wish us a happy anniversary and it was just so special. Everyone was so nice! We can’t wait to come back with our baby girls and plan a family getaway!

Meghan from United States
We loved the property overall and the various amenities. My husband loves to golf and enjoyed the group lesson and putting green in addition to the course. We also enjoyed the bike rentals, unique fitness classes and delicious meals and drinks. The concierge was very kind and helpful, and convenient to communicate with over text. We appreciated...
