Ventura's super bloom

efore we even set the
pedal to the metal on
American soil, we are
relaxing. Our 10-hour
flight towards our holistic holiday
begins aboard a Norwegian
Airlines 787 Dreamliner, where
mood lighting helps our body
clocks adjust, and larger windows
and increased fresh air in the cabin
reduce the not-so-nice effects of
jet lag. We're off to a good start.
Arriving in the USA feeling
remarkably fresh, we waste no
time at all taking the iconic Pacific
Coast Highway - South and
start our coastal cruise to detox,
California -style....

ACE
VENTURA
Nestled between Santa Barbara
and Malibu, Ventura is an
overlooked gem on the West
Coast. Worth visiting simply
for the Botanical Gardens that
overlook the city, currently in the
midst of Oxalis pes-caprae super

bloom, California's signature
yellow wildflower. It's highly
Instagrammable, especially given
the proximity of the mountains
and Main Beach, both of which
you can see stood at the crossroads
in downtown, another gem in the
California crown.
Here, vintage vibes meet fresh

energy, and we spend hours
ambling the streets, sipping chai
lattes at Palermo, and discovering
a sustainable side of the city at The
Refill Shoppe, where residents
bring their containers to fill up on
everything from organic shampoo
to all-natural washing-up liquid.
We also pay a visit to Paradise
Pantry, a 'scratch-based' kitchen
where the menu changes daily,
and Harvest Cafe for farm-totable food from environmentally
conscious sources. We order
Maca Bomb Smoothies and Vegan
Buckwheat Waffles with Cashew
Cream, truly embracing South
California's impressive offering
of plant-based eateries. Our
home for the night is the Amanzi
Hotel Ventura, which accesses
downtown Ventura and Main
Beach, and is only a short drive
to Ventura Harbor, where you
can hop on a boat to the rugged
Channel Islands National Park
and escape 4G all night long.
