Just 30 minutes north of San Diego, Southern California’s finest resort experience offers casual elegance in a natural setting accented by wildlife and wildflowers. Discover an extensive spa, the area’s finest dining choices and Arnold Palmer-signature golf. ”The Resort spreads across a bluff overlooking both the wildlife-rich wetlands of the Batiquitos Lagoon and the sapphire Pacific Ocean. The Spanish-colonial style resort shares its 200 acres with private residences and an Arnold Palmer golf course. Because so much of the California coast consists of hillsides and cliffs, few resorts are actually right on the beach - but this makes for even more spectacular views, and the Four Seasons Aviara has some of the best.” ForbesTraveler.com, October 2008
