Ahhhh the magic of Ojai is hard to put into words. A little tiny town that’s nestled in the rustic hills of Central CA, it’s really a surprise. It’s sophisticated and glamorous while also being rough around the edges, rustic, raw, and darling. Some absolutely amazing restaurants, cafes, and shops that are so worth the trek alone, not to mention the landscapes and the cozy chic hotels!
We stayed at the Capri Hotel which, my friends, is absolutely charming to the max. It’s chic AF! It’s a former motel that’s just been elevated in the most chill and charming way. We truly loved the thoughtful touches amidst the minimalism, and lounging by the pool was everything… until the hot tub was everything. YEP, we had such a mellow and delightful time.
Since we thought so many of these places were really standout, I wanted to make a list of some of the loveliest highlights we absolutely adored that are definitely worth mentioning:
- The Capri Hotel
- The Dutchess (restaurant)
- Chief’s Peak (bar) at the Ojai Rancho Inn
- Summer Camp (shop)
- Firestick Pottery Studio
- Ojai Rotie (restaurant)
- Magic Hour (tea shop)
- Bart’s Books
- Three Birds (coffee)
- Blue Ojai (Shop)
- The Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room
- The Ojai Beverage Co
- Izakaya Full Moon (restaurant)
- Gratitude Vintage & Thrift
I meaaaaaan—this is just a selection! In such a small town it’s wild how many total gems there are! So without further adieu, go ahead and take a peak!
