Following the devastating Thomas wildfires in December, the charming town of Ojai, situated just 90 minutes from LA, is back in business and welcoming visitors with open arms. To celebrate, the luxurious Ojai Valley Inn is offering travelers a special package that includes a donation to the Ojai Love charity benefiting locals affected by the fires as well as a custom Ojai Love commemorative hat. If you’re craving a spring getaway, Ojai is definitely a good place to head to for a little R&R for a good cause. Here are five more reasons to visit the Ojai Valley Inn this month.
The Delicious Food

The resort offers a few different options for satisfying your cravings including dinner at Olivella, which is an absolute must. There you can indulge in a four-course meal as you take in the lush views of the property. Order the bucatini all’arrabbiata (you can thank us later), which is a heavenly pasta dish with Maine lobster and Dungeness crab. Then move onto the main course options such as a filet mignon or a Mediterranean branzino. For dessert, opt for the melt-in-your-mouth warm dark cocoa brownie that arrives topped with a chocolate sphere, gelato, white chocolate powder, and espresso toffee sauce.

There’s so much to do you at the Ojai Valley Inn that you might never feel the need to leave the property during your entire stay. You can spend the day golfing, playing tennis, relaxing by the pool, or enjoying a bike ride and picnic on the lush grounds. Guests can also learn about aromatherapy and create their own custom scents at the Artist’s Cottage or take a mixology class at the Wallace Neff Heritage Bar.
The Lush Scenery

The beautiful mountains that surround the resort are reason enough to book a getaway there. Although the road trip from LA is not too far, Ojai feels far removed from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Set on 220 plush acres dotted with stunning oak trees, the resort has a palpable calming energy that makes you feel grounded and relaxed as soon as you arrive. The greenery is so vivid it’s almost surreal. You can spend hours just sitting by a fire pit, drinking a glass of wine, and taking it all in.
The Pink Moment

Last but certainly not least, Ojai is known for its magical pink moment. Come sundown, it’s as if the entire town pauses for a second as the disappearing sun casts a beautiful pink glow on the Topa Topa bluffs. Have your iPhone at the ready because this is a moment you definitely want to remember.
The Ojai Love package is available through March 31. Visit ojairesort.com to make a reservation and use the code OJAILOVE.
