Montage

if you want complete solitutde, i recommend visiting Montage Resort & Spa for the day. its only 1 & 1/2 hr drive from loma linda, and you feel like you are in a different country. the crystal blue waters against the dramatic cliffs, lift you into an ocean of peace. its defintely a quiter beach compare to other laguna hot spots. you can go for a walk either on the beach or watch the water from a sidewalk view. in the springtime, many of the lovely flowers are vibrantly blooming.

i spent my whole day at the spa. it was convenient to sit on a comfortable lounge chair that gave me a panoramic view of the ocean, had access to great food, and constant access to fiji water! so i sat basking in the sun, reading my journals and my mind when to ultimate relaxation mode. the spa treatments are quite pricey there. i could only afford a 60 min. pedicure, but it was worth the oceanfront view where i saw dolphins during my pedicure. then, i got to enjoy the steam rooms & hot tubs that were surrounded by beautiful lush garden and waterfountain. the decor was modern, casual, and clean. it felt different enough where i found my getaway for a day.
