Tucked into the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains, just a short drive from Malibu, the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village offers a Southern California take on luxury. Equal parts resort, spa retreat, and culinary destination, the property has evolved into one of the most comprehensive lifestyle escapes to experience.
Set on 12 acres between Malibu and Santa Barbara, the resort’s landscaped grounds provide a tranquil environment. Meandering paths, reflective water features, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces invite guests to slow down and enjoy the natural beauty that defines the property.
Guest rooms have a calm coastal-inspired palette full of soft blues, warm neutrals, and natural light expansive windows. Rooms include deep soaking tubs, coffee and tea makers, plush bedding, and views of landscaped grounds or waterfalls.
Suites expand into residential-style layouts with separate living spaces, French doors, and terraces that frame the surrounding mountains.
The hotel’s newest and most dynamic addition, The Cove, has transformed the outdoor experience into a sophisticated Mediterranean-inspired al fresco dining option. Spanning more than two acres, this reimagined area blends leisure with a new dining space overlooking the expansive pool area with daybeds, a bocce ball court, private cabanas, hammocks and jetted spas with a backdrop of the Santa Monica mountains.
The Cove includes a Mediterranean-inspired restaurant where seasonal ingredients and coastal flavors define the menu including a variety of crudos and pizzas; large mezze platters with hummus, labneh, pickled vegetables, almonds and pita bread; bruschetta; falafels; caviar lemon linguini; rigatoni with fresh tomatoes; cavatelli with pesto; branzino with fingerling potatoes; lamb chops with yogurt; steak with capers and olives; Jidori chicken and vegetarian options.
The resort’s ONYX restaurant delivers a refined Japanese dining experience anchored by seafood. The sushi bar showcases nigiri and sashimi complemented by a curated sake program and warm dishes.
For evenings, Prosperous Penny shifts the tone to a sophisticated social lounge with a polished bar program focused on craft cocktails, whiskey, and curated wines.
Coin and Cander, the resort’s main restaurant, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner in a beautiful setting overlooking the waterfall and lawn with both al fresco and indoor seating. The menu includes wood-fired dishes and seasonal ingredients. The Red Fife Sourdough bread, Kanpachi Crudo, salt-baked Mediterranean Sea Bass, scallops and lobster bucatini are standout menu items.
Wellness is where this property distinguishes itself. The spa spans roughly 40,000 square feet, with 28 treatment rooms, private terraces, and full-service facilities. There are plenty of areas to rest and restore, including the tranquility lounge, eucalyptus steam room, saunas and a large jacuzzi. The adults-only serenity pool is also beautiful and offers cocktails and food options while lounging by the pool.
Beyond traditional treatments, the on-site Center for Health & Wellbeing offers consultations, fitness classes, and programming designed around longevity and nutrition.
Few properties in Southern California offer the level of variety that the Four Seasons Westlake Village has when it comes to pool experiences. Guests can move between the Cove Pool, connected to a new eating area, the adults-only Serenity pool, which is spa adjacent, and the Indoor Pool, which is climate-controlled.
The Four Seasons Westlake Village is much more than just a luxury hotel; it is a fully integrated lifestyle destination. With the addition of The Cove and refreshed dining concepts like ONYX and Prosperous Penny, the resort is a property where wellness, design, and culinary experiences intersect to provide a comprehensive luxury wellness retreat.
