A trip to California often means spending a lot of time in a big city like Los Angeles or San Francisco but there are some sleepy, relaxed hidden gems that also deserve a visit. One of these is Cambria, a charming seaside town midway between the aforementioned big cities. This being California, aside from the beautiful beaches and quiet trails, the focus is on wellbeing, coffee, yoga and arts. It’s easy to slip into the Cambria way of life, where most days start, and probably end too, with a walk along the beach.
Olallieberry Inn Bed and Breakfast
At first glance, the Olallieberry Inn may look like a quaint and humble little B&B. But behind the blue wooden-clad exterior is a five-star accommodation with impeccable rooms and a perfectly presented traditional style, from the elegant crown moldings to the antique furnishings. There isn’t just eggs on toast for breakfast either, with a gourmet breakfast dished up (fresh fruit, Olallieberry yogurt, homemade granola, and baked goods), as well as Hors D’oeuvres and wine offered daily. Benefiting from high ceilings, each room provides a fireplace and a private bathroom. Select rooms offer a sunken bath tub and shower. From $447.

Cambria Beach Lodge

Cambria Beach Lodge is another luxury accommodation that masquerades as something a bit more low key. With beach cruiser bikes outside it looks every bit the beach bum hideout but there is so much more. The rooms feature a beachy vibe but it’s all dusted with high quality materials, organic woods and expensive textiles, finished with a minimalist aesthetic. All rooms feature oversized showers and the beach-inspired décor even goes as far as including sun bleached floors. A flat-screen HD TV with premium cable channels, a seating area and boutique bath amenities are included in all guest rooms, plus select rooms include a fireplace. A sun terrace with deck chairs overlooking the Pacific Ocean is the perfect chill out zone. From $168.
