Let’s be real—sometimes, the best kind of getaway is the one you don’t have to overthink. No airports. No passports. Just you, a packed weekender and a short drive to somewhere that feels like another world.
At COZY, we’re all about those spontaneous escapes that reset your rhythm and reconnect you with what matters—comfort, calm and a touch of curated luxury. Whether you’ve got 48 hours or just need a last-minute reset, these California stays bring the magic without the miles.
Here are six COZY-approved escapes that don’t require a boarding pass—just a “go” text.
Post Ranch Inn | Big Sur
Cliffside calm. Pacific air. Zero need to check your phone.
Suspended above the wild coast of Big Sur, Post Ranch Inn is the definition of stillness. Think wood-and-glass architecture that blends right into nature, outdoor soaking tubs with ocean views, and an adults-only atmosphere that lets you truly unplug. With no TVs or alarm clocks in sight, you’re invited to tune in to something deeper: yourself.
COZY Tip: Order the in-room Sparkling Cider breakfast and enjoy it wrapped in your robe on the deck as the fog lifts off the ocean. This is the chair you won’t want to leave.
⏱ Travel Time: ~5 hrs from LA by car | ✈️ Private flight available
Ojai Valley Inn | Ojai
Golden light, golf mornings, and spa days that stretch into evenings.
Just 90 minutes from LA, Ojai Valley Inn is your go-to when you want a little bit of everything—serenity, space, and sunshine. Wander the art-filled grounds, start your day with a mindful yoga session, and surrender to an afternoon at Spa Ojai with lavender-infused treatments. When the sun sets over the Topa Topa mountains, it all glows pink—and you’ll understand why locals call it “the pink moment.”
COZY Tip: After your spa day, draw yourself a lavender bubble bath and sip herbal tea on your private patio. No rush. Just good air, soft light and slow breaths.
⏱ Travel Time: ~1.5 hrs from LA
Rosewood Miramar Beach | Montecito
Oceanfront glamour meets barefoot ease.
This one’s for when you want it all—direct beach access, Michelin-starred dining, designer boutiques, and plush rooms with private terraces. Rosewood Miramar Beach brings a sense of playful elegance to Montecito’s coast, where luxury doesn’t scream—it whispers through details like rosé at sunset, white-glove service, and the sound of waves lulling you to sleep.
COZY Tip: Book a Beach House suite and request room service breakfast on your terrace. Coffee with ocean views? Yes. And it’s even better barefoot.
⏱ Travel Time: ~1.5 hrs from LA
Calamigos Guest Ranch | Malibu
Chic cabins, cozy firepits, and that under-the-stars kind of feeling.
Hidden in the hills of Malibu’s wine country, Calamigos is where rustic meets refined. Surrounded by 250 acres of trees, trails, and horses, you’ll stay in private bungalows with outdoor showers, hang by the pool with a book, or sneak away for a glass of red at the nearby vineyard. There’s even a private beach club if the coastline calls.
COZY Tip: Book a horseback ride at golden hour, then unwind by your firepit with s’mores. It’s Malibu, but make it cozy and low-key.
⏱ Travel Time: ~1 hr from LA
Sensei Porcupine Creek | Rancho Mirage
Wellness, done the COZY way—thoughtful, elevated and serene.
Tucked into the desert near Palm Springs, this adults-only retreat is a masterclass in calm. Founded by tech billionaire Larry Ellison and powered by science-backed wellness programs, Sensei blends Japanese minimalism with total mind-body reset. The villas are sleek, the food is by Nobu, and every inch of the property whispers balance and purpose.
COZY Tip: Don’t skip the Guided Wellness Experience. From sunrise hikes to personalized spa treatments and sound baths under the stars—it’s wellness reimagined.
⏱ Travel Time: ~2 hrs from LA
Belmond El Encanto | Santa Barbara
Hillside elegance with Pacific views and old Hollywood soul.
Perched above Santa Barbara in the Riviera neighborhood, Belmond El Encanto is a restored 1920s retreat with sweeping coastal views, lush gardens, and Craftsman-style bungalows. Here, mornings begin with ocean air and end with candlelit dinners on the terrace. Add in a zero-edge pool, curated wellness treatments, and that signature Belmond service—and you’ve got a timeless escape that feels deeply personal.
COZY Tip: Request a bungalow with a private terrace and book an alfresco massage in the garden. Afterward, head to the terrace for a late lunch and a glass of Santa Ynez rosé while watching the city glow below.
⏱ Travel Time: ~1.40 hrs from LA
Why Wait for Summer Fridays?
You don’t need two weeks off to feel refreshed. Sometimes, it’s just one night away that makes everything lighter. Whether you’re chasing stillness, spa time, or simply a change of scenery—these luxe escapes are just a drive away.
