Set on 11 hilltop acres planted with tall eucalyptus trees and fragrant rose gardens, the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe is a luxe getaway…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The walkable village center lies just beyond the gates, surrounded by equestrian trails and citrus groves five miles inland from Del Mar.
The rooms
Bungalows and private cottages pair wood-burning fireplaces and herringbone floors with Calacatta marble sinks and sunny courtyard terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Striped green cabanas and emerald treillage surround the heated saltwater pool and hot tub.
The spa
Treatment suites host Mila Moursi European facials and longevity therapies. An outdoor sauna sits on the courtyard patio.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Lilian's
Tufted velvet banquettes sit beneath emerald treillage in the dining room, which serves coastal California seafood.
At the table
Bing Crosby's namesake bar pours small-batch whiskeys beside a roaring hearth, and The Café serves morning espresso.
How it began
Pioneering architect Lilian Rice built the original 1924 guesthouse, La Morada, to host prospective buyers visiting the planned country village.
