Los Alamos, CaliforniaWellness Weekend

Once you arrive in Los Alamos, settle into your lodgings – the Skyview is my top choice of hotel whenever I visit Los Alamos because it is a boutique hotel that combines modern luxury with beautiful historical architecture. If Los Alamos isn’t your style, I am happy to offer more recommendations based on your lodging interests.

After you’ve settled in comfortably, head on over to Bell’s, a French-inspired, family-owned restaurant opened in 2018 by Daisy and Greg Ryan, and arguably has the best food in the region. It has a newly appointed Michelin star, and is well worth the visit. Be sure to make a reservation ahead of time!

Start day two of your getaway off by grabbing breakfast at Bob’s Well Bread, a breakfast bakery where you will find hand-made breads and pastries made with fresh ingredients sourced from the region.

After breakfast, head on over to the neighboring Los Olivos (about 13 minutes away from Los Alamos) for a hike at Lover’s Loop – one of my favorite trails to hike when I visit the region.

If you’re feeling hungry after your hike, stop by Industrial Eats, a repurposed warehouse-turned-restaurant in Buelton serving seasonal meals spruced from sustainable farms and food pioneers.

Following lunch, head for wine tasting at Spear Winery – a family-owned, sustainable winery producing the best craft wines.

Finally, end your day with dinner at SY Kitchen. This is a delicious Italian restaurant that is staple for the Santa Ynez Valley.

Finish out your wellness weekend getaway with a leisurely morning, grabbing brunch at Norman’s, the restaurant at Skyview.

I love working in a yoga or pilates session to ground myself before wrapping up my weekend. You can even do your own class on the Skyview property. It's one of the best ways to end your wellness weekend off before heading back to a work-filled week!
