48 HOURS wellness weekend

- by CATHERINE ESREY

HIKE

Begin your morning with a mindful hike to Inspiratio­n Point. Aptly named, this trail is perfect for those seeking a deeper mind-body connection. The moderate 3.4-mile out-and-back route immerses hikers in nature and has a scenic overlook of the lovely Santa Barbara coastline—the perfect spot for catching your breath and self-reflection.

YOGA

Deciding between a day at the beach or a workout? Do both. Taking advantage of the California weather and views, Santa Barbara Beach Yoga offers the unique opportunit­y to practice your sun salutation­s directly under the sun. Classes are creatively designed to uplift spirits as they encourage headphone use to immerse you in sound as well as movement. @santabarba­rabeachyog­a

SPA

When looking for a relaxing afternoon activity, look no further than Spa Majorelle at Hotel California­n. This oneof-a-kind Moroccan-inspired spa promotes a feeling of active tranquilit­y and provides various treatments catered to your wellness needs.

Leave your worries at the door and embrace all things peaceful at The Sacred Space. Home to luscious landscapes, spiritual statues, and more, The Sacred Space in Summerland provides just that—a space for people to come in and reflect on their journey and purpose.

JUICE

SALT CAVES

Salt is the perfect place to get away, rejuvenate your body, and refresh your mind. In addition to traditiona­l spa services, visitors are encouraged to explore the salt and crystal caves, which host a 45-minute meditation session every hour, on the hour.

DINNER

Serving up vegan Mediterran­ean dishes in a casual environmen­t, Mesa Verde gives you the feeling of a home-cooked meal without the hassle of having to clean up. Start with the flatbread and hummus, and you cannot leave without trying the chocolate cake for dessert.
