Ritz Carlton, Half Moon Bay One Miramontes Point Road Half Moon Bay, CA 94019 650-712-7000

Golfers will be taken in by the 36-hole oceanfront course at this resort, but its 16,000-square-foot spa is equally impressive. Wind down with a co-ed, candlelit Roman mineral bath, or lounge in the oceanfront Jacuzzi. The signature pumpkin body peel delivers the nourishing benefits of this local treat. The well-equipped fitness center overlooks the ocean and the gazebo lawn, which also includes a heated yoga studio.
