Plan a Glamorous Coastal Retreat This Year
Now more than ever, Americans need good stress management in their lives, and self-care getaways can be very beneficial to both mental and physical health. If you’re in need of an old-fashioned pampered retreat this year, consider following in the footsteps of silver screen stars from the golden age of Hollywood. This era generally spanned from the late 1920s through the 1950s and was known for productions by particularly brilliant filmmakers and composers as well as some of history’s most memorable actors.
However, all that pressure and publicity left A-listers with a real need for rest, recovery, and self-care, all without having to stray too far from Tinseltown. Here are some places in Southern California where you can decompress and recuperate old-Hollywood style:
Del Mar. If you’re looking for something more along the lines of a small, picturesque getaway, look no further than Del Mar Village. This charming town drew major Hollywood figures with its spectacular beaches, luxury hotels, world-class restaurants, spas, and horse racing, and you can enjoy them too. For maximum glamor, stay at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar or the Hilton San Diego-Del Mar hotel. Enjoy award-winning golf, Tudor architecture, sandstone canyons, boutique shopping… and relaxation!
San Diego. San Diego is known for the beauty of its beaches and for its low-key way of life, which made it a restful retreat for Hollywood professionals. Historic hotels that once housed the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Lucille Ball include the Hotel del Coronado and nearby La Jolla’s La Valencia Hotel.
Enjoy Old Hollywood Glamor at Del Mar Village
Del Mar Village is a quaint seaside community rich in history, striking natural beauty, and European charm. First renowned during the golden era of the movie industry, Del Mar was the retreat for Hollywood’s biggest movie stars, who came to enjoy its peaceful ambiance, pristine beaches, and exhilarating thoroughbred horse racing.
Located just 20 miles north of San Diego on the Southern California coastline, Del Mar Village is unique in its offering of a vibrant small-town atmosphere, sprawling natural playground along the Pacific Ocean, and the casual sophistication of a world-class destination.
