A sanctuary along the PHW 1 near LA
A place for sanctuary and reflection. Came here on a Monday afternoon in Jan 2023 post the heavy rain. The cloudless blue sky was well reflected in the onsite pools. The place is well taken care of and crowd is small. Guilds were helpful. Would also recommend walking through the herb garden instead of taking the elevator on the way going back to the parking garage.

Must-See Replica of a Roman Villa
The Getty Villa is the museum just off the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH that includes a replica of a Roman villa (not the same as the Getty Center). The grounds are beautiful, as are the villa gardens, and those by themselves are worth the price of admission (which is $0). But if you're into antiquity, and learning about and seeing the ancient works of Rome, Greece, Assyria, and others, there's lots of that. To visit, you must make a reservation online. While entrance is free, parking is not. Still, it's well-worth paying the $20 to park there (which I also recommend you do online), and anyway, who doesn't want to drive the PCH? The place is well-run, with tours that focus on different aspects of the museum (architecture, special exhibits, etc.). It's a must-see if you're spending any time sightseeing in the L.A. area.
