A quiet couples’ getaway is a great way to rekindle romance, strengthen your bonds or simply enjoy some time exploring a new place together. San Diego County is full of spots perfect for this, and Rancho Bernardo Inn is one you won’t want to miss.
The inn is historic — it’s been a hotel for more than 50 years, but the property itself dates back centuries to when it was part of a Spanish mission. Today, the property honors that history with beautifully landscaped grounds and Spanish-style architecture. As you stroll through the grounds, it’s impossible to resist the romantic lure of the gentle trickle of water in stone fountains, the beautiful statues tucked away throughout the courtyards and stone pathways around the property, and colorful flowers and creeping vines at every turn.
Romantic meals on the patio of Veranda, which looks out over the championship golf course, are a wonderful way to pass an afternoon or evening with good food and drinks, or you can opt for an upscale California cuisine dinner at Avant, a dinner spot offering a seasonal menu packed with creative takes on some of California’s best and freshest ingredients. But with plenty of great dining options across the property, you might just want to cuddle up in bed with a bottle of wine or order breakfast from room service to eat on your balcony overlooking the green.
The spa offers a full suite of services, from facials to salt stone massage treatments, but what makes these experiences so special is the tranquil, romantic atmosphere the inn has created. The spa is located on a quiet end of the property where water fountains and a private pool create a sense of relaxation, and you can book a couple’s massage to enjoy the whole experience with your partner.
This 265-acre property is an ideal retreat from everyday life. Although the rest of the world feels a million miles away, you can always take a break from your romantic interlude to explore the fun attractions of San Diego and the surrounding county.
