Southern California's only member of Relais & Chat eaux treats groups to boutique hospitality at its finest on a 40-acre hilltop in Rancho Santa Fe. Long known for its quiet gentility, Rancho Valencia, an Auberge Resort basks in the atmosphere of a private country club—ideal for high-end corporate sessions, executive retreats, and incentive programs alike.
Manicured, fragrant gardens surround the 49 suites, all with cathedral ceilings, custom furnishings, hand-painted tiles, fireplaces, and French doors opening to private patios. Guests seeking maximum space and privacy opt for The Hacienda—a 5,000-square-foot adobe villa with three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and its own pool, whirlpool, and garden.
The main clubhouse holds 2,000 square feet of dedicated event and meeting space—joined by 10,000 square feet outdoors. A professional conference coordinator and the latest presentation equipment ensure that everything runs like clockwork.
The main clubhouse also holds the Rancho Valencia Restaurant, a local bastion of California- Mediterranean cuisine recognized by the Wine Spectator and Gourmet magazines, among others. Diners on the terrace catch a glimpse of the resort's 17 perfectly tended tennis courts down the hill, where a staff of eight resident pros conducts daily instructional clinics. Between meetings, meals, and tennis, guests at leisure visit the spa and fitness center, play croquet on a regulation lawn, and claim privileges at several championship golf courses nearby.
Our goal for our event was to treat a group of elite customers to an event in which they would be treated like royalty. Rancho Valencia helped us make it possible.

Posh and fabulous! From arrival to departure, everything was top-notch! the rooms are amazing, staff is excellent, restaurant food and service are exceptional and the spa is divine. Although there is not a lot of meeting space, the space they have is beautifully appointed, located and high-tech.

This is one of my favorite hotels I have experienced in my life. Michael Ullman has been the manager for years and really keeps it so special. The staff has been there forever (which tells you a lot). There is no way to describe the special feeling you have as a guest. The service level is amazing. You must check it out. The new spa is fabulous!!!
