 Designed to be luxurious in every imaginable way, this $240-million-dollar mega resort, which commands a 172-acre slab of valuable oceanfront Dana Point property, showers its guests with a bounty of exclusive treats. The tennis club features clay courts and its own pro, the 30,000-square-foot Gaucin Spa boasts a yoga studio and its own line of products, and the see-and-be-seen pool offers classy privacy with individual cabanas. Get the picture? Nothing here is second rate. The 400 guestrooms are furnished with Sony flat-screen televisions, custom-designed furniture that reinterprets classic Mediterranean styles, 300 thread-count sheets and stunning ocean views, while the suites offer more square footage than most Beverly Hills mansions. Designed by Tony Chi, Michael Mina's Stonehill Tavern offers a Modern American menu emphasizing "small plate trios." Just below the property, the famous surfing beach of Salt Creek treats guests to their own little SoCal playground, and the championship golf course is one of the key reasons travelers with fat wallets and their own clubs come. |
