Spring break is finally here and the weather is really starting to warm up! We decided to pack our bags and take a quick trip south to the Carmel/Monterey area. We stayed at the beautiful and luxurious Bernardus Lodge & Spa located in sunny Carmel Valley. It's one of my top pick hotels in the area and a place that we revisit every single year!
Bernardus Lodge is one of my favorite places to stay primarily because of the location and fabulous accommodations. Nestled in warm and sunny Carmel Valley and surrounded by the picturesque Santa Lucia mountains, you're within close proximity to the many of the valley's wineries and just a short drive to Carmel by the Sea where you can shop, stroll art galleries, grab a bite to eat, or take a stroll on the beach to watch the sunset. After we unpacked our bags, we quickly threw on our swimsuits for a dip in the infinity pool jacuzzi.
It was absolutely gorgeous outside. Carmel Valley's climate is somewhat protected from the wind and fog out by the coast so the temperatures are much warmer inland. I actually picked up this rainbow and ruffles bikini at Asos last year I've always loved rainbows and when I saw this colorful and bright swimsuit I immediately knew I wanted it! I love the ruffled off the shoulder top and the bikini bottom gives this 40+ year old mama just the right amount of mid rise moderate coverage 😊. Unfortunately, this one is currently sold out but I searched more online and found a few more rainbow inspired favorites!
Whenever I pack for a sunny weather vacation I always bring a few staple accessories in my suitcase: a straw hat to keep the sun off my face and throw on after swimming and a few pair of sunglasses to coordinate with different outfits. I love picking out brightly colored sunnies or edgy styles to have a little fun! Here are a few of my current favorites including some rainbow inspiration too!
The fire pit next to the jacuzzi was lit towards dusk so we grabbed a bottle of Bernardus wine and enjoyed the views of the Santa Lucia mountains while the fog rolled in. The scent of fresh lavender filled the air from the nearby culinary gardens and the steamy jacuzzi beckoned us in again! It was the perfect way to end a relaxing day as we contemplated our plans for the next day!
