Mendocino County, Northern California’s crown jewel with 90+ miles of prime Pacific shoreline and a variety of inns ideally suited to this trend, offers the perfect “Sleepcation” salve. Travelers can bed down in a luxury oceanfront ranch, huddle in an off-grid tree hut, double down in a vineyard-laced vintage Airstream or peace out at a fragrant farm. Escaping the fast-paced urban lifestyle is the first step. Adding a layer of amenities and surroundings conducive to the wonders of slumber divine.
Who doesn’t like to clock out to the sound of crashing waves, birdsong or a true night sky without urban light pollution. Along the Pacific, a variety of lodgings offer the ultimate turndown. The Inn at Newport Ranch’s new Slumber in Wonder package delivers in style. Set on 2,000-acre acres with 10 bespoke suites, including the “nest in the sky” aka The Birdhouse suite, combines a nature-driven space and ocean view to ensure travelers return rejuvenated. To round things out, relaxing amenities such as sound bathing, guided forest bathing, a sweat lodge, Four Hands Nirvana Massage, a water tower hot tub with views to Japan and premium pillow-top beds put a new spin on hitting the hay.
In the scenic village of Mendocino, the new nine-suite Nicholson House offers a fresh slant on serenity with the added plus of walking to dinner and drinks. Step into the secluded Garden King with a private entrance, premium bedding with custom microfiber sheets, heated bathroom floors, walk-in rain shower, oversized bamboo bath sheets and luxurious twill robe for the ultimate chill down. As the sun sets, slither next door to sister restaurant Café Beaujolais for a crispy duck confit, butter-sauteed local wild mushroom or seasonal Dungeness crab gnocchi – the ultimate shut-eye inducer.
