Mountaintop Staycation

Trip Advisor

Sometimes, mom just needs to get away, breathe in fresh air, and escape the hustle and bustle of the city. So when relaxation calls, skip the dreaded jetlag and get away to Chaminade Resort, a spectacular mountaintop retreat in Santa Cruz. Featuring a recent multi-million dollar renovation, guests can now enjoy an updated main Villa, inspired landscaping, and a brand new restaurant called The View, A Treeside Restaurant, which offers al fresco dining overlooking Monterey Bay. Located just five minutes from golf courses, the beach, and downtown Santa Cruz, Chaminade is a haven for recreation, relaxation and fun.

Unconditional love deserves unconditional pampering and care. So from massages and facials to manis and pedis, an ultimate day of relaxation is a great way to say, “thank you” for all that Mom (or Grandma) does day-in and day-out. Located in the heart of the elegant Santana Row shopping district, Burke Williams is a European-inspired spa that offers a variety of treatments including some of the finest Aromatherapy in the country.
