1. A Forbes Five-Star resort tucked into the hills of Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Valencia feels like someone's impossibly well-appointed hacienda, if that someone had 45 acres and excellent taste. The 49 private casitas have fireplaces, soaking tubs, and garden patios, so you basically never need to leave yours. There's a spa, tennis, and nearby golf for when you do. Del Mar and La Jolla are a short drive away, but honestly the hardest part is finding a reason to go.
