From spending a day at the spa to indulging in top-notch dining, Rosewood Sand Hill is the ultimate destination when it comes to planning a weekend of pampering.Ā Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel
Sleeping In
One of the best things about Rosewood Sand Hill is the sense of privacy and exclusivity that guests enjoy in their rooms. Rather than having every accommodation in one building, 121 guest rooms are spread out across charming cottages. Each room comes with a furnished terrace that allows you to connect with nature while sipping on a glass of wine from the minibar. The contemporary seating area also opens up the space and offers more room to let you feel right at home. The bathrooms feature deep tubs that are perfect for soaking right before bed, and the multi-head rain showers are something straight out of a spa.
Poolside Chillinā
No matter what time of the year you visit, the serene pool at Rosewood Sand Hill is heated year-round. The pool is centered right in front of the main building on the property, and the surrounding olive trees create a tranquil atmosphere that encourages you to unwind. Whether youāre lounging in a plush recliner or cooling off in the pool, youāll want to order a refreshing frozĆ© or margarita from The Swim Club. If youāre hungry, the grilled halibut tacos with mango salsa hit the spot and make for the perfect lunch. There is also a hot tub tucked away in the back, and since it is open until 10 p.m. daily, you can enjoy a nice soak under the stars.Ā Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel
Pinkies Up
Whether youāre in the mood to lay low or dress up, Rosewood Sand Hill offers several dining experiences to match your vibe. Madera, a Michelin-starred restaurant, features sleek indoor seating and a terrace with views of the pristine pool. Guests can sip Goldeneye pinot noir while watching the action from the open kitchenāa perfect blend of elegance and energy. Chef Seamus Mullenās menu includes standouts like Ora king salmon, kampachi with pickled Fresno chili, and bone-in New York strip.
After dinner, head to the chic Library & Bar for a craft cocktail like the crisp cucumber mule and great people-watching. Prefer a quiet night in? Room service lets you enjoy much of Maderaās menu right from the comfort of your room. There is nothing quite as decadent as enjoying Michelin-starred food while wearing a plush white robe.
Spa Is a Must
Upon walking into Sense Spa, guests are greeted with tranquil tunes, a hot hand towel and herbal tea.Ā Alongside co-ed spaces for relaxation, the spa also offers separate areas with saunas, steam rooms, and outdoor Jacuzzis. There are plenty of massages and facials to choose from, but the Lavender Dreams body treatment is the true standout. It starts with a lavender salt scrub, followed by a full-body massage using hot stones and silky, soothing oils. The result? Pure pampering that leaves you completely relaxed, refreshed, and ready for whatever comes next.
