THE PLACE

Provence, Found in the Coastal Hills

Descend into the coastal hills and find yourself transported to the lavender meadows of Provence, France.

Roughly seven miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, the land surrounding Cal‑a‑Vie Health Spa is notable for its sun-kissed fields, its hilly terrain, and its sycamore woodlands. Across 200 acres of French countryside-style landscape, limestone walls give way to lavender, and the light settles the way it does in the south of France.

Authentic French architecture basks in the golden California sun. A 400-year-old Chapel brought stone by stone from Dijon anchors the gardens; a 16-acre vineyard, first cultivated in 2007, climbs the neighboring slopes; an organic garden and greenhouse supply the table steps from where you dine. Find your garden escape, hidden in the hills of Southern California.

COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF

The Place Is Yours for the Length of Your Stay

Photographs only carry so far. Descend into the hills, and let the lavender and limestone do the rest.
