In the heart of West Sonoma County, Occidental is the perfect place for a quiet yet lively escape filled with spa treatments, wine tastings, and small-town charm. Ready for some serious pampering? Follow this guide to plan the ultimate rejuvenating retreat at the Inn at Occidental.

Choose the Perfect Spa

A spa day is the heart of any getaway designed for relaxation. Our town has just the right mix of peaceful retreats and the ultimate touch of luxury. Whether you’re craving a deep-tissue massage, hot stone therapy, or a refreshing facial, you’ll find the perfect place to kick back and relax.

For an intimate experience, book a spa that specializes in couples treatments. Look for aromatherapy, hydrotherapy, and organic skincare options to elevate your relaxation. Many spas also feature outdoor areas where you can soak in the Russian River Valley’s natural beauty while sipping herbal tea. Osmosis Day Spa Sanctuary is a spa-tastic place known for its phenomenal cedar enzyme baths for individuals or couples — a must-try spa experience. Additionally, Osmosis Day Spa is close to Inn at Occidental — a short, five-minute drive and you’re there.

Book a Cozy Stay at the Inn at Occidental

A truly relaxing getaway starts with the right accommodations. Elegant. Luxurious. Ideally located.

Our inn offers the perfect mix of charm, comfort, and luxury to make your retreat unforgettable. Our boutique inn features beautifully designed rooms, plush bedding, and private soaking tubs — excellent for unwinding after a spa session.

You can also enjoy in-room massage treatments and unique wellness experiences — all from the comfort of your room.

Enjoy a gourmet breakfast before heading out for a day of pampering, shopping, or exploring. Only the best will do at our Inn, so you’ll enjoy a luxurious stay in West Sonoma County and superior hospitality. We embrace and embody luxurious elegance and comfort.

Indulge in a Couples Massage

Nothing melts away stress like a couples massage. Book a side-by-side treatment at a local spa, where skilled therapists will help ease tension and restore balance. Choose a full-body massage with essential oils for an immersive experience, or opt for a specialty treatment like reflexology to release stress from head to toe.

Sip Wine and Unwind

Do you love wine? So do we! The Russian River Valley Wine Country offers the area’s most exquisite wines. However, you don’t need to visit every winery and vineyard just to try a few of these great sips. Instead, head to the wine bar at the Inn at Occidental.

Our wine bar experience is the perfect way to cap off a spa-filled day. And you can sip and savor the best wines in the wine bar, outside on the veranda, or in the courtyard. The choice is yours.

Explore Occidental’s Charm

While relaxation is the goal, a little adventure adds to your experience. Stroll through town and discover Occidental’s charming shops, art galleries, and welcoming cafés.

Pop into a boutique for locally crafted goods, or grab a warm pastry from a family-owned bakery. And, of course, after a day of exploring, return to your room at our inn to unwind in your cozy retreat.

Enjoy Relaxing Outdoor Activities

Step outside, breathe the fresh air and explore any time of year. Occidental’s location in the Russian River Valley makes it a prime spot for other things to do, such as scenic walks, gentle hikes, and peaceful nature experiences.

Stroll along a nearby redwood trail, enjoy a picnic by the river, or sit back and soak in the views. Book a guided kayak tour or bike through the countryside if you’re feeling adventurous. The blend of nature and relaxation creates a refreshing break from everyday stress.

Try Wellness Activities Together

Wellness isn’t just about spa treatments — it’s about feeling good inside and out. Enhance your couples spa getaway with activities that promote mindfulness and relaxation.

Savor a Romantic Dinner

After a day of spa treatments and relaxation, a romantic dinner is the perfect way to round out the evening. Occidental is home to intimate restaurants featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

Grab a table at a cozy spot where candlelight sets the mood and every dish is crafted with fresh, local ingredients. Enjoy fresh seafood, artisanal pasta, or a perfectly grilled steak with a glass of wine. If you prefer a more laid-back setting, a small bistro with a patio provides a warm and inviting ambiance.
