Hollywood Honeymoon Hotspot
Not all celebrity newlyweds choose to venture out of the country for their romantic post-wedding getaways. One of the hottest A-list honeymoon destinations is right in Hollywood's backyard. The San Ysidro Ranch, located just an hour outside of Los Angeles, is nestled in the exclusive Montecito enclave, between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. The 500 acre resort has a reputation for combining luxurious pampering, natural beauty and storied heritage, -- just the way the big stars like it. The resort's history with A-list clientele runs deep: John and Jacqueline Kennedy honeymooned there in 1953, Julia Roberts and hubby Danny Moder are rumored to have spent their honeymoon there, and Sandra Bullock and Jesse James spent their first days as man and wife at the ranch in 2005. Avril Lavigne and Deryck Whibley retired to the ranch after their wedding reception before jetting off for an Italian honeymoon.
The resort is now home to 41 individually decorated private cottages and suites, 17 miles of beautiful hiking and walking trails, and lush flower gardens. The Kennedy Cottage is now the name of the self-standing lodge named in honor of the former president and his wife. For a competitive price you, your new husband, and even your pet (see their Privileged Pets package) can experience the ultimate a-list celebrity experience and embrace your inner love for nature.
Other unique amenities include canopied beds, outdoor rain showers, giant French doors and designer linens.
