The Oaks Ojai  is a totally old school spa and I love it – just like Ojai – down to earth and serving nothing but realness.  I am obsessed with Ojai (who isn’t?) and this spa reeks of Ojai history.  I went solo for a couple of days of healthy, clean eating, and QUIET – perfect to clear and rejuvenate my mind, body, soul. And oh did I. It was BLISS.

I had a fantastic massage, ate super clean and simple food, watched small groups of ladies do pool aerobics ( I was recovering from minor surgery – don’t ask –  so I took it way easy!) I forgot my bikini – no prob I walked around in a robe and undies and no one noticed or cared or even looked twice. The chef will work your diet very specifically. I really felt like I was in the 70’s for some reason and loved every bit of it. The women at the desk so amazing. It felt like camp.

My casita was gorgeous – totally private and my little Spanish villa to myself. I confess to spending half my time in the enormous tub.

The Oaks Ojai is majorly unpretentious and perfect for a mother-daughter getaway. The crowd was not your uber-snobby LA wellness workout warrior freaks – but just normal women or all shapes and sizes. Many were older too, so once again, a great for a mom-daughter thing.

They have lots of event weekends (hikes, yoga, etc.

Make sure to check out upcoming programs.

And let’s not forget the town of Ojai is dreamy. You can step out and you are right in the center of it! SO MUCH GOODNESS EVERYWHERE!

Wasn't kidding about walking around totally comfy just like THIS!
