Luxury Self-drive Holidays in California

Tailor-Made California Road Trips

Aptly named the Golden State, sunny California is hard to beat as a luxury US holiday destination, and is ideal for honeymoons, family holidays and the ultimate self-drive road trip.

Connected by Highway One (arguably the world’s most spectacular coastal road), the Golden State boasts some of the America’s finest locations. Hire a convertible and get the roof down for the ultimate California fly-drive as you head for San Francisco, which sports the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and an invigorating blend of cultures. Then, make for the awe-inspiring valleys, gushing waterfalls and giant sequoias of Yosemite National Park. Next, self-drive through sprawling Los Angeles, the birthplace of showbiz and countless Hollywood celebrities, and travel along the palm-fringed beaches of Santa Monica. If time permits you should also experience the superb surf on the chilled-out beaches in San Diego and Orange County.

During your trip you will find it’s not just about the open road in California, in fact there’s plenty to do outside of the car. Spot breaching whales from the headland, snorkel with playful sea lions in San Diego or let us point you towards the best clam chowder in San Francisco. More active types can also head for the surf at Venice and scale the tallest peak in Yosemite National Park for unforgettable views.
