Resorts in California Wine Country With Pools and Spas

Whether you're traveling solo, with your family and friends, or your partner, you'll find the ideal state of Wine Country wellbeing when lounging poolside or at a resort spa in Sonoma County.

Here are five indulgent and restorative getaways with pools and spas.

Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa, Sonoma

The ultimate Wine Country oasis, this luxurious California resort offers several outdoor and indoor swimming pools, each filled with geothermal mineral water from the nearby Boyes Hot Springs, as well as a world-class spa and wellness center.

Guests of the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa can soak up the healing powers of the springs in the Main Resort Pool, Watsu Pool, and Spa Pool. Open year-round, these outdoor pools are heated to various degrees, each setting the steamy stage for ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation.

For a truly immersive wellness experience, book a treatment at the Fairmont Spa. Here, visitors can choose from an array of signature treatments, including the Fleur de Vigne Body Bliss, a 60-minute, multi-sensory experience, and the one-hour Fairmont Spa Salt Stone Massage. The spa also features a Roman-style bathhouse, mineral spring soaking tubs, an aromatherapy steam room, and a halotherapy sauna.

Kenwood Inn and Spa, Kenwood

This glamorous Tuscan-style resort boasts two pools — one warmed by a geothermal spring, the other cool and refreshing — as well as a soothing wellness spa. 

The main pool is surrounding by lush gardens and cozy chaise lounges, and comes complete with a poolside snack and drink service. Guests can also opt for one of the semi-private cabanas, which include a premium bottle of sparking wine, artisan cheese and charcuterie plate, and more.

Or, treat yourself by booking the Spa Terrace, located on the rooftop of the spa. Then, choose from an array of self-care treatments, like the aromatherapeutic Valley of the Moon and 80-minute, restorative Rest & Renewal massage, before spending the remainder of the afternoon soaking in your own private spa tub overlooking the hotel grounds. 

Farmhouse Inn, Forestville

Tucked away in Sonoma County's Russian River Valley, Farmhouse Inn inspires its guests to escape their everyday routine Wine Country-style. 

The inn's solar-heated pool is surrounded by fragrant gardens and delicate flowers, providing the perfect ambience for quiet respite and relaxation. The pool is heated seasonally, April to October, while the hot tub lives up to its name year-round.

Revel in your disconnection from life's hustle at the Wellness Barn. Here, you're encouraged to slow down, connect with nature and yourself while indulging in holistic healing treatments such as herbal and CBD milk baths, massages, facials, and unforgettable forest-bathing rituals.

Flamingo Resort, Santa Rosa

A tropical paradise nestled in the heart of Santa Rosa, Flamingo Resort is a haven for both couples and families vacationing in Sonoma County.

The resort features two sparkling pools, including the Olympic-size main pool that's perfect for fun time with the kids. For added privacy, guests can rent cabanas, charmingly called Birdhouses and Nests. These rentals include a bottle of Flamingo rosé, sunscreen, a fruit platter, and bottled water. Poolside dining is also available at Wild Bird restaurant.

Next door to Flamingo Resort is the Montecito Health Club & Spa, where you can book massages, salon services, and other restorative therapies or leisurely make your way around the heated lap pool.

The Lodge at Sonoma, Sonoma

A "revitalizing oasis of serenity," The Lodge at Sonoma is a quiet retreat that's tucked away just steps from lively Sonoma Plaza. 

Located in the center of the property is their heated outdoor pool and jetted tub, both of which are surrounded by lush greenery, private cabanas (by reservation only), and a poolside cocktail bar called the High Horse.

The Spa at The Lodge harnesses the same air of seclusion and tranquility. Luxuriate in an array of massages, facials, and other body treatments, like the Celestial Renewal Body Ritual and CBD Detox Wrap, as well as cabana rentals in the Spa Garden, private soaking pools, a barrel sauna, and a relaxation lounge.
