Nestled into the breathtaking landscape of the Ojai Valley, this traditional hacienda has been completely reimagined to create a space of serenity and calmness with luxurious and modern finishes for the twenty-first-century traveller. Sitting on five acres of private land, there's a pool and spa area, an outdoor kitchen and fire pit, a yoga platform, and lots of fun activities for children and adults. Ataraxia is made up of two distinct homes: a modern structure that oozes relaxed luxury as it wraps itself around the outdoor entertaining area, while the property's original hacienda has been fully refurbished to create a tranquil guest house. We say it's time to escape to the Ojai Valley!

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....
