The Golden State of California

Live out the ultimate American Dream during an escape to California. Be swept away by the beauty of its 800-mile-long coastline, dramatic cliffs and stunning national parks and prepare to be dazzled as you rub shoulders with Tinseltown’s finest on the uber glamorous Rodeo Drive and experience the magic of Universal Studios Hollywood. You would be forgiven for thinking holidays to California consist of nothing more than surfers and starlets but scratch the surface and you’ll discover a destination that’s bound to leave you feeling rejuvenated.

Endless sunshine bathes a beautiful range of landscapes across this enchanting state. From the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco’s and the spectacular waterfalls of Yosemite National Park to the charming beaches of San Luis Obispo County, adventure, and discovery beckons. With beaches as far as the eye can see, you’ll find everything from idyllic golden sands and hidden, rugged coves to family-friendly bays and surfers paradises. Be blown away by the vistas whilst travelling the Pacific Coast Highway, a drivers bucket list dream.  The infamous stretch from San Francisco to Los Angeles will take you through the iconic Big Sur and Santa Barbara.

A LAND OF CONTRAST & SPECTACLE

Whilst on the west coast, be sure to pay a visit to the coast’s dynamic cities, like Los Angeles, the epitome of old school Hollywood glamour. Spend your days relaxing on gorgeous beaches and evenings spotting celebrities. Diverse and trendy San Francisco can be found furthest north, alive with culture. Here you can really taste the melting pot of flavours of the state, from the vibrant Chinatown to mouth-watering Mexican street food. Then there’s San Diego, young, vibrant, and buzzing with positivity its’ quickly establishing a name for itself as one of America's favourite cities!

Away from the coastlines, you’ll find incredible national parks where you can explore stunning scenery from the awe-inspiring Yosemite Valley and the towering mountains of Sequoia to the extremes of Death Valley. The adventure isn’t all thanks to mother nature here though, for epic family days out head to Disneyland, Universal Studios, Six Flags Magic Mountain and numerous world-class zoos.

Dial things back a little and enjoy a glass of award-winning Cabernet Sauvignon amongst world-class vineyards scattered across the golden state. Sonoma Country and Napa Valley are two premier wine-producing regions and there’s an established craft beer scene here too. Soak it all up by indulging in Michelin Star cuisine in one of the countless celebrity chef-run restaurants for an unforgettable culinary experience.

California is a fascinating land of contrast and spectacle, whether you plan to discover it as part of a fly-drive, a magical family holiday or an unforgettable honeymoon, there’s something here for everyone. Contact our experienced Travel Consultants and we’ll help you navigate it your way.
