pasta freshly made by its pasta chef

Joey. Then there’s the 20,000 square

foot spa, which has 22 treatment rooms,

a private spa suite, fitness center and

more. The spa’s Amber Gold Signature

Massage involves Swedish massage and

dry brushing, but there’s also a list of

scented baths and serious facials. Other

facilities run from two 18 hole golf

courses designed by Tom Fazio to enough restaurants,

bars and boutiques to keep guests entertained – even

those who come to stay for months at a time.

Pelican Hill guests stay in cream-toned bungalows or

villas (which are larger than the bungalows

and have butler service) set in Tuscan-

inspired gardens. They feature fireplaces,

spectacular bathrooms, and balconies or

terraces (a good spot to breakfast on pecan

and raisin French toast with coconut butter

and maple syrup). Not for starlets on diets,

but you can always work it off exploring

this gilded coast by boat. B

It feels as if

Marilyn Monroe

might appear in

a doorway and

invite you in for

margaritas
