Post-shower, you're ready for breakfast at La Palma Lounge; chia pudding with coconut cream, berries, almonds and dates along with a freshly-pressed green juice sets you up for the morning's adventures

10:30 AM

Hop on one of the hotel's complimentary bicycles for a cruise along Santa Monica's famous seaside path. After making your way to Venice Beach, spend some time admiring the skatepark talent before heading back towards the pier.

10:45 AM

Lunch is 'foraged' just minutes from the hotel at the bountiful Santa Monica Farmers Market. Enjoy an all-local feast of vegetables, cheeses, cured olives and organic bread, with a pint of ruby red strawberries for dessert.

1:00 PM

Exercised and well-fed, you're ready to check in at Surya Spa, a leader in the practice of modern Ayurveda. Using wild-harvest oils that have been selected specifically for you, the afternoon begins with Udvartana, a treatment that includes a four-handed Abhyanga massage and fullbody scrub with green organic coffee, sugar and herbs.

4:15 PM

Relaxed and rejuvenated after your time at Surya, cozy in with a book and cup of tea in the hotel's stylish, artfilled library. Then it's back up to your room to leisurely prepare for the evening.

6:45 PM

Dinner comes with a view at Calabra, the hotel's chic Mediterranean-inspired rooftop restaurant. Dig into colorful dishes like avocado dip, market crudite, tahini

caesar salad and scallops, then finish on a sweet note with a slice of honeynut squash cheesecake.

9:15 PM

If you thought you'd already achieved peak relaxation by now, you'd be wrong! The day ends with a private sound bath in your room before bed; this unique healing ritual is fine-tuned to each guest by Surya's Sound Bath experts, allowing you to drift off into one of the most restful sleeps of your life.
