boon hotel + spa
A 21+ only property, this hotel and spa gives parents the opportunity to have a relaxing day away from the kids and other guests to enjoy a quiet, peaceful trip as well. Rooms are designed to encourage this as well, with luxury beds, linens and complimentary body products. Various spa treatment packages are available, as well as different massage styles and spa add-ons like LED light therapy. And of course, don’t forget to start or end your days soaking up the sun by the pool.
HIGHLIGHTS:
A couple of other services are associated with boon, located offsite. Visit boon eat + drink, also in Guerneville, which is a farm-to-table California bistro. They do not take reservations and don’t accept parties larger than six, so be sure to plan accordingly.
Farmhouse Inn
This gem of a hotel hasn’t always been around; two siblings discovered it years ago and have since renovated it to become a luxurious haven intended to provide an experience of pure relaxation. Room types include barn suites, cottages and farmhouse rooms, of which are the smallest accommodations of the three. Visit their spa to treat yourself, or choose to not even have to leave your room; you can take a steam shower in your room’s lavish bathroom followed by sitting in front of your own fireplace. There is also a restaurant, courtyard and pool onsite.
HIGHLIGHTS:
A stay at the Farmhouse Inn is full of complimentary amenities; check out their Bath Bar, which offers guests a variety of seasonal soaps, scrubs, bubble baths and more. There are also complimentary wine tastings, s’mores roastings and movie nights.
Inn at the Tides
The Inn at the Tides will have you wanting to come back not long after your stay is over. Have a masseuse come to your room for a private massage and put on the plush robe found in each room after. Or, visit the whirlpool spa or sauna for a more aquatic take on relaxation. End your day with a visit to one of two onsite restaurants — one of which is also a lounge with a calming, elegant atmosphere so you can enjoy the view, a warm fire and a cocktail.
HIGHLIGHT:
Finding that you’re struggling to part with the bathrobes provided in each room? Buy one for yourself at their gift shop; and while you’re at it, check out the rest of their goodies, varying from ocean-scented candles, home decor made from driftwood, Bodega Bay themed souvenirs or even seafood.
The Lodge at Bodega Bay
The perfect combination of relaxation, luxury and natural beauty, the Lodge at Bodega Bay has curated a hotel experience that is unlike no other. There are 83 rooms — all of which have privacy and most of which have patios and fireplaces — and a slew of onsite amenities to complement your stay, including an infinity edge hot tub, outdoor fire pits and two restaurants. The spa features a variety of massages, facials, treatments and packages, and treatments are inspired by ocean’s ability to heal. To help with more than just your physical wellbeing, try taking one of their yoga classes or going on a guided nature walk.
HIGHLIGHT:
Coming with kids? Make some s’mores on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings. Looking for a chance to mingle with just adults? Opt for their complimentary wine receptions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons instead. See their events calendar to see what other experiences they offer, too.
