Los Angeles
As the second largest city in the United States and the nation’s entertainment capital, L.A. is a vast metropolis brimming with movie stars, musicians, surfers, and plenty of glamorous A-list action.
The city is comprised of a number of wildly disparate neighbourhoods including the legendary celebrity hotspot of Hollywood, the inviting beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu and the hidden gems of Koreatown and Little Tokyo.
The result of this unlikely combination is an intriguing melting pot of bold creatives, eclectic world cultures, exotic cuisine and a never-ending array of wonderfully eccentric characters.
Spot a movie star, sip a cocktail on a rooftop bar, slip on a pair of designer shoes in an ultra-luxurious boutique in Beverly Hills, or dance the night away in a starlet-filled club. Keep an open mind and embrace all Los Angeles has to offer and you won’t leave disappointed.
San Diego
With its pleasant temperatures and endless days of sunshine, the city of San Diego is a summer vacationer’s dream destination.
Commonly considered to be one of America’s most family-friendly cities, San Diego is home to LEGOLAND, the New Children’s Museum, and the famed San Diego Zoo.
But you don’t have to be a child to enjoy this young-at-heart city. Sunbathers and surfers are sure to find that ideal beach; culture enthusiasts will be thrilled by the hip art galleries, artist studios, and museums; and food lovers will find numerous culinary delights in artisanal breweries and charming local bistros.
A vibrant downtown area and beaches ranging from ritzy to raucous make this enchanting portside city a popular spot for travellers of all ages and interests.
Palm Springs
Situated in the magnificent Coachella Valley, the famed resort city of Palm Springs offers an oasis of glitz and glamour in the California Desert.
Visitors and part-time residents, among them celebrities and the usual A-list crowd, come each year to enjoy the impressive golf courses and to browse the upscale galleries and exclusive boutiques.
Though many flock to Palm Springs to relax in a pool-side lounger with a cocktail in hand, the city has much more on offer.
Spend your days: marvelling at the gorgeous mid-century modern architecture; checking out some urban-chic contemporary artwork in the Palm Springs’ Backstreet Arts District; or exploring the numerous trails of the remarkable Indian Canyons.
With its natural beauty, sparkling pools, and the ideal combination of outdoor adventure and laid-back relaxation it's no wonder that Hollywood A-listers and weekend warriors have long made Palm Springs their weekend getaway of choice.
Las Vegas
Officially known as the City of Las Vegas, this spectacular city is situated in the state of Nevada in the heart of the Mojave Desert. Las Vegas, America’s fastest-growing metropolis, is infamous for its fabulously over-the-top mega-resorts adorned with dazzling neon lights.
Vegas pulses with energy during the day and positively heaves at night. The city’s club scene rivals Ibiza for its intensity and it stages boasting extravagant shows that give Broadway a run for its money.
This high-energy desert oasis also has plenty of history and off-the-beaten-track experiences to discover, especially if you wander off 'The Strip' and into the Fremont Street Experience in the old downtown area.
Whether visiting Las Vegas for the casinos, the poolside cocktails, the all-you-can-eat buffets, or the wild parties and crazy characters, Sin City has got you covered.
Mammoth Lakes
Mammoth Lakes is a charming little tourist town set in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
The surrounding valleys, mountains and crystal-clear lakes are known for their spectacular scenic beauty and provide endless opportunities for a variety of outdoor sports such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
Visitors typically base themselves at the Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort, a popular ski area which has been designated as the top ski destination in California, attracting famous winter-sports athletes who come to compete on the slopes of Mammoth Mountain.
Other popular activities include fishing and biking during the warmer months or enjoying the many festivals and entertainment events hosted by the Mammoth Lakes Adventure park.
Yosemite National Park
Deep in the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountains in east-central California, lies the magnificent Yosemite National Park.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site attracts almost four million visitors each year, who flock here to witness the breathtaking natural wonders of this vast unspoiled wilderness.
Marvel at the towering granite cliffs and domes, the jaw-dropping waterfalls, the beautiful Tuolumne and Merced rivers, forests of massive sequoia trees and picturesque mountain meadows.
While the park as whole has plenty to offer, most visitors focus their attention on the famed Yosemite Valley due to its unrivaled natural beauty and spectacular wildlife.
A visit to Yosemite National Park is a true delight for outdoorsy traveller, especially wildlife-enthusiasts and anyone with an adventurous spirit.
Napa Valley
With over 400 excellent wineries dotted around this 50-kilometre-long stretch of land, Napa Valley is the ultimate destination for food and wine enthusiasts.
Its top-rated chefs serve mind-blowing cuisine, its luxurious guest houses are welcoming and characterful and its scenery is truly breathtaking.
Aside from winery hopping, the area offers a wealth of activities. Spend your days: exploring the beautiful hiking trails of the American Canyon Wetlands; enjoying gastronomic delights with an ever-changing view on the Napa Valley Wine Train; browsing the glamorous clothing boutiques, jewellery stores, and art galleries at St. Helena; or simply unwinding in the mineral pools and mud baths of the exclusive spas in Calistoga.
However you choose to spend your time, you are bound to find endless opportunities for glorious self-indulgence in the wine country paradise of Napa Valley.
San Francisco
Leave your inhibitions behind, grab your walking shoes and your most outrageous outfit in preparation for the wild (and typically steep) ride that is the foggy and fabulous city of San Francisco.
It is crawling with outlandish locals, wacky street performers and eccentric artists who somehow manage to delight and charm their way into the hearts of even the most conservative travellers.
Your trip is likely to include some cardio-building jaunts up some dramatically steep inclines to hilltop viewpoints offering magnificent views of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Prison and Coit Tower.
With its dizzying array of restaurants and farmers markets, rows of rainbow-coloured Victorian houses, as well as countless vintage saloons and speakeasies, there really is never a dull moment in this rollicking city by the bay.
Big Sur
The Big Sur region is home to what is arguably California’s most beautiful stretch of coast.
This rugged coastline and its unspoiled surrounding wilderness area extends 90 miles from San Simeon to Carmel.
The area boasts a rich and diverse history which has resulted in a number of remarkable manmade and natural landmarks.
Enjoy the golden sands of Carmel River State Beach, the rocky expanse of Point Lobos State Reserve, the architectural authenticity of Point Sur Light Station, the impressive Hearst Castle and a number of state parks.
Popular activities include hiking, cycling, boating and horseback riding. Big Sur makes an ideal getaway for those looking to escape the frenetic energy of the city and unwind in some truly unforgettable natural surroundings.
Santa Barbara
With its year round Mediterranean-like climate, its extraordinary stretch of rugged coastline and its idyllic setting between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the magnificent Pacific Ocean, it’s not hard to understand why Santa Barbara is widely considered to be the ‘The American Riviera’.
While the city lies less that 100 miles from the vast metropolis of Los Angeles, it differs greatly from its massive neighbour to the south.
Its broad pristine beaches, renowned wineries, and its relaxed atmosphere afford residents and visitors the kind laidback lifestyle one would expect from a small coastal town combined with the shopping experiences, dining opportunities and all the amenities of a large city.
Don’t miss the Spanish Mission Church, El Presidio State Historic Park, Butterfly Beach and Santa Ynez wine tasting.
