Spa-Golf-Stay-Play
The owners of the posh Cal-a-Vie Spa in San Diego County (Oprah and Julia Roberts are fans) have recently purchased the adjacent Vista Valley Country Club, making this the only destination spa in the country with its own 18-hole golf course. Having purchased the spa several years ago and upgraded it to the tune of $10 million, the owners are updating the Ted Robinson-designed course and the clubhouse. A new fitness club is planned, a water-themed play center and a Cal-a-Vie day spa. The spa-golf course site comprises over 400 acres of rolling hills and valleys threaded with streams and studded with Valley oaks, olive and lemon trees. The boutique spa property has 2 dozen private cottages. Guests on 3, 4 and 7 night stays engage in vigorous workouts from dance to kickboxing, cardio to walks and aqua-aerobics; and in yoga and Tai Chi, sports conditioning, tennis and golf, just to name a few of the activities. Peace and quiet reign in the Bath House, where guests sink into the jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna, and massage and body therapies.
