El Encanto, A Belmond Hotel 5 stars

There are different experiences to enjoy here at the Spa at El Encanto. Sound Bath Meditation is where you can unwind through sound bath meditation and let the stresses wash over you. You can choose from the serene hilltop gardens or the surf-lapped cliffs of the Pacific Coast for a tranquil location. The Spa Retreat can help relax and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. For those looking to be a little more energetic, the Fitness Studio is where you can work on your workout routine. Use the Technogym treadmills, exercise bikes and ellipticals. Build up strength using the free weights and weight machines or have a personal training session with one of the on-site trainers.

Dining experience at El Encanto Hotel is second to none! It is home to some of the best restaurants in southern California using artisanal ingredients to match the region's culinary abundance. The Dining Room & Terrace is a place to dine in an ambient atmosphere or under the stars on the ocean-facing terrace. Fresh seafood is caught daily from the shores right below the hotel, served straight to your plate. All ingredients are locally sourced and are something to savour.

The Lounge is the perfect retreat for light bites or an afternoon tea with friends and family. Here you can dine inside or outside with Pacific views. El Encanto also has a take out option for those wanting to dine in the comfort of their suite or bungalow. Whether it is a treat for a special occasion or something to simply savour. Call ahead and the chef will prepare your order with fresh local ingredients and deliver them to you at the curbside. The Bar is the place to socialise and unwind after a day of visiting local sights or having spent the day on the beach. Savour the fine wines and gourmet bar snacks in the laid back atmosphere.
