Goop's best addresses in Los Angeles

For an afternoon of wellness in Venice Beach

Den Mother - a wellness and healing center, also known as the "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.

A hotel not to be missed

The Proper Hotel - The most beautiful hotel in Santa Monica, and the trendiest of the moment! With its trendy decor and cosy ambience that transports you to a seaside villa, it's the place to go to recharge your batteries. What's more, it houses the Spa Surya for a relaxing stay!

For a sports class to remember

The Class - With its cardio and muscle-strengthening exercises combining burpees, planks, leg lifts, squats and a few yoga exercises (in good measure), Taryn Toomey's class offers a liberating and purifying experience for both body and mind! What awaits you? 75 minutes of intense movement to "open and activate the stagnant layers of the body". In short, you move, scream, shake and shout to free your emotional energy.

2433 Main St., Santa Monica

For a gourmet dinner

American Beauty - This is the place to go for excellent cocktails and steak cooked to perfection! - We recommend going on a warm summer's night and eating outside on their vast patio.

For a shopping session

The Brentwood Country Mart - As well as being home to Brentwood's very own Goop boutique, it's also home to a host of other great stores, including Jenni Kayne, Turpan, Dôen and the adorable children's store Poppy... in short, all the fashion references on the Californian scene. There's also an old-fashioned candy store (Edelweiss), an ice cream parlour (Sweet Rose Ice Cream), a wonderful bookshop (Diesel) and a stop at Farmshop for lunch. A lovely destination for a stroll!

For a walk in the heart of nature

Los Leones Canyon Hike - This beautiful hike lies between Santa Monica and Malibu and offers panoramic views of the ocean and the city. The first part of the hike is the Los Liones Trail, which is bucolic, pleasant and relatively accessible. If you decide to do the whole hike, which is about 7.3 miles or 11.7 km, you'll arrive at Topanga State Park.

2433 Main St., Santa Monica

For pasta cravings

Felix - You'll need a reservation to sit down at one of the tables in this Sicilian restaurant. Chef Evan Funke's pasta and sfinciones (Sicilian focaccia) are renowned throughout the city and are undoubtedly the reason for the restaurant's success...

A museum to gain height

The Getty - Offering some of the best views in the city, you can spend a good half-day picnicking on the lawn above the central gardens and strolling around the imposing Richard Meier-designed exterior building, before even stepping inside this iconic cultural center.

For a quick lunch

goop Kitchen - And while we're on the subject of picnics: we may lack objectivity, but goop Kitchen is the best place in town to pick up takeaway gluten-free salads, bowls and sandwiches for a healthy, gourmet lunch.

11419 Santa Monica Blvd. West LA

To feel at home

Pasjoli - Chef Dave Beran's upscale French bistro serves up classic French dishes - tartare, mille-feuille, filets - that are well worth a night out, if not the most exotic, but still gourmet and memorable.

2732 Main St., Santa Monica
