About Ojai

If you thought Palm Springs was out there, just wait until you visit Ojai. Pronounced as if you just unexpectedly bumped into someone you don’t like very much (‘Ohh...hi’), this pastoral sanctuary north of Santa Barbara in the Topatopa mountains has it all. Meditation retreats run by old school hippie healers? Absolutely. Organic farms spearheaded by new-age thinkers? You’ve got it. Five-star spa hotels with gourmet dining rooms? That too....
