Mini-Moon
The Chaminade Resort and Spa
By Melissa Hutsell
You don’t need an expensive, extensive vacation to paradise to enjoy a romantic escape with your hubby. In fact, you don’t even need to leave California. Head over to the Central Californian coast for a luxurious and idealistic adventure just far enough away. Get away for the weekend at one of the state’s mountaintop gems, Santa Cruz’s Chaminade Resort and Spa – a true destination in and of itself.
The hotel is situated in the scenic and popular destination that is Santa Cruz. Tucked away and nestled between the Eucalyptus trees and natural landscapes, guests can escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life for a weekend of pampering with world class amenities. Step away from the board walks and the beach, and instead, step into a whimsical resort decorated with Spanish furnishings and color palettes influenced by the Californian coast. You and your partner will be tempted to stay in all weekend, but even if you don’t, there is plenty to do inside and near the hotel.
The exclusive AAA Four Diamond Award Winning Resort features more than 150 guest rooms, a spa, and two different restaurants; The Sunset Restaurant and Linwood’s Bar and Grill, on the 300 acre property. Here, you can indulge in a fabulous champagne brunch or fresh local cuisine while also enjoying the gorgeous panoramic backdrops. Or you can truly relax with an in-room dining experience.
Sooth your senses in serenity with the spa’s several amenities and treatments. After a refreshing and renewing session, guests can enjoy an exclusive spa patio, three miles of hiking trails, tennis and volleyball courts, an outdoor heated pool, jacuzzis, steam rooms, and a fitness center as well as Yoga, Pilates and Zumba classes. You and your hubby can stay active or even try something new together.
The perfect destination for relaxation, fun and recreation, the hotel is situated just five minutes away to the city’s popular destinations and golf course. Head downtown to shop at the city’s boutiques for quaint seaside shopping, or explore the region’s several museums including the Art History, Natural History and Seymour Discovery Center. In addition to the beaches, visitors can also choose to enjoy the area’s wine growing region or state parks. The hotel is conveniently just 45 minutes away from Monterey and the National Marine Sanctuary.
Whether you want to enjoy a romantic mini-moon in the comfort of your bathrobe or by experiencing all the resort has to offer, The Chaminade Resort and Spa makes a perfect mini-moon destination for romance and excitement.
