If you\u2019re dreaming of an idyllic beach getaway, chances are Santa Monica is high on the list of locations that came to mind, and for good reason. Whether you\u2019re looking for relaxation, wellness, or fun, this beautiful oceanside city has it all. Here are just a few reasons why we\u2019re crowning Santa Monica the ultimate spring break destination: <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Location, Location, Location <\/b><\/h3>\n

Staying steps away from the beach is easier than ever when you book at the <\/span>Viceroy Santa Monica<\/a>, a beachside hotel perfectly situated on Ocean Avenue. Whether you want to take a stroll along the iconic Santa Monica Pier, do some shopping in downtown Santa Monica, or take a cruise along PCH, everything you need for the perfect Southern California stay is at your fingertips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stay in Style\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

We know that Santa Monica provides a beautiful backdrop for your vay-k (and your Instagram posts), and staying in a chic and stylish hotel will elevate the vibes even more. Last year, Viceroy Santa Monica unveiled a $21 million renovation, complete with wood-planked ceilings that make you feel as if you\u2019re taking a walk along the pier, topped off by a two-tone bench made of real driftwood. A fan-favorite feature is the hotel\u2019s art collection curated by Art House and created by local artists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The newly-designed, beach-inspired guest rooms and suites bring the outdoors in, with natural textures and color palettes reminiscent of a day by the water. The furniture is mid-century style, with carpet, wall coverings, and curtains that evoke colors of the sea and sun. All rooms have a Juliet balcony so you can enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze, and western-facing rooms offer unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean and awe-worthy California sunsets. <\/span><\/p>\n

All About the Amenities\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The best vacations are a perfect balance of fun, sun, and relaxation, where you can easily go from hanging on the beach to finishing the afternoon poolside, followed by a delicious dinner, cocktail in hand. The hotel\u2019s brand new pool and cabana area is just the escape you need to really feel like you\u2019re in full vay-k mode.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Treat Yourself<\/b><\/h3>\n

After a day well-spent by the ocean or pool, head over to the Sugar Palm, the hotel\u2019s new restaurant that is the heart of its social scene that features an indoor lounge, wraparound bar, outdoor patio with a firepit, and private dining cabanas. The restaurant boasts the finest in California cuisine, with fresh seafood and locally-grown produce. If you want to head out on the town, <\/span>Elephant\u00e9<\/span><\/a> has some of the best sunset views in town.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Forget the Self-Care<\/b><\/h3>\n

A trip to Santa Monica isn\u2019t complete without some wellness activities, and luckily, it\u2019s front and center when you stay at the Viceroy Santa Monica. Guests can partake in complimentary beach yoga classes hosted by Beach Yoga SoCal, all within walking distance of the hotel. For massages, facials, and all the R&R you need after a busy trip, <\/span>Alchemie Spa<\/span><\/a> is just a few blocks away and known for their eco-friendly space and amazing service.<\/span><\/p>\n
