City Guide: in Los Angeles with Goop Beauty!

Fancy a change of scenery? Pack your summer vanity and grab your passport, we’re heading to Los Angeles, and more specifically its western regions such as Venice Beach and Santa Monica. We asked Goop Beauty, the holistic brand dreamed up by Gwyneth Paltrow, to share with us the must-visit addresses for a wellness break in California. 

#seo : den mother los angeles

For a wellness day in Venice Beach

Den Mother - a wellness centre or rather healing house where you can reconnect with your body and what it really needs. Opt for the private hot-cold circuit, where you and your partner can move from a cedar sauna to an icy pool.

#seo : propoer hotel santa monica

A hôtel to hit snooze 

The Proper Hotel - The best hotel in Santa Monica right now! With its trendy decor and cosy ambience that transports you to a seaside villa, this address is not to be missed if you want to recharge your batteries. It's also home to the Spa Surya for a truly relaxing stay!

For a memorable workout class

The Class - Taryn Toomey’s definition of evading "class" is a cathartic experience. You move, scream, shake, and yell as you release emotional energy–and get a pretty incredible workout in the process, care of burpees, planks, leg lifts, and squats. There's a fair bit of yoga worked in for good measure. It requires an open mind and a willing spirit.

2433 Main St., Santa Monica

#seo : formula fig los angeles

For an express facial

Formula Fig - Looking for a glow-boosting treatment to combat the effects of jet lag? This is the beauty spot to go to for a skincare interlude that's as effective as it is sensorial. Nestled between the hottest hotspots, this beautifully designed beauty bar is reinventing facial treatments with its high-tech protocols and minimalist yet ultra-effective approach. In just 30 or 60 minutes, Formula Fig gives your skin a shot of radiance with tailor-made treatments. An essential wellness stopover. 

926 N. Sycamore ave, Los Angeles

#seo : american beauty los angeles

For next-level dining

American Beauty -  Great cocktails and perfect steak—the move here is to go on a warm summer night and eat outside on their sprawling patio.

For a walk in nature

Los Leones Canyon Hike - This beautiful hike is between Santa Monica and Malibu, offering panoramic views of both the ocean and the city. The first part of the hike is the Los Leones Trail, which is lush, green, and not too difficult. If you do the whole hike, which is about 7.3 miles, you'll end up in Topanga State Park

For an invigorating workout 

LEKFIT - Created by Lauren Kleban, a former professional dancer, this upmarket studio offers workouts strategically designed to challenge the whole body. Combining low-impact, high-intensity cardio with muscle-strengthening techniques, classes are designed to be challenging, fun and effective, offering a complete fitness experience that tones, sculpts and energises. 

346 S La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036

#seo : brentwood country mart

To shop til you drop

The Brentwood Country Mart - Besides being home to goop Brentwood, there is a spate of other great boutiques here (Jenni Kayne, Turpan, Dôen, adorable kids store Poppy). There's also an old-school candy shop (Edelweiss), an ice cream parlour (Sweet Rose Ice Cream), a wonderful bookstore (Diesel)—stop at Farmshop for lunch.

For a lunch on-the-go

goop Kitchen - Speaking of picnics: We’re biased, but goop Kitchen is the best takeout spot in town for salads, bowls, and gluten-free sandwiches.

11419 Santa Monica Blvd. West LA

#seo : the getty

For Los Angeles’ best views

The Getty - Offering some of the city’s best views, you can spend a good half-day picnicking on the lawn above the central gardens, or wandering around the Richard Meier-designed exterior (construction employed about 1,200,000 square feet of travertine) before you even head inside.

#seo : felix los angeles

For the pasta-lovers

Felix - You’ll need a reservation here—Chef Evan Funke’s pastas and sfincione (Sicilian focaccia) are justifiably famous around town.

To Grocery Shop like Gwyneth

Erewhon - A must-stop for grocery shopping, Hollywood-style, Erewhon is much more than a supermarket, it's a true epicurean place combining well-being and quality. Of course, you won't be shopping here for less, but you will find carefully selected products with a deep commitment to health and excellence. It's the very epitome of healthy, sustainable food to nourish your body and mind. 

7660 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036.

#seo : pasjoli los angeles

For a French-inspired night

Pasjoli - Chef Dave Beran’s upscale French bistro serves classic French dishes—tartare, mille-feuille, filets—worth planning a night around.
