Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa

What the classifiers highlight

Forty-plus acres of rolling hills in Rancho Santa Fe hold 49 hacienda-style suites, each with a private garden patio, sunken living room and a separate wet bar. Forbes rates it Five Stars, and a $30 million renovation added a 1,000-square-foot yoga pavilion over a reflecting pool, with complimentary classes ending in a fresh-pressed juice.
