A ‘tax break’ at Oaks at Ojai (and a special something for Twitterers)

This past weekend, when I was in Ojai, spring was definitely in the jasmine-scented air. April is the perfect time to visit this tranquil, arty town east of Ventura, and to maximize your stay, why not make a weekend out of it?

Most accommodations in the area offer ways to wind down, but if you’re looking for some active relaxation (in the form of a little motivation to work out), try out the Oaks at Ojai. It’s an all-inclusive destination health spa, with all manner of offerings, including classes from qi gong to rollerblading.

Deal: The Oaks’ “Sweet Tweet Tax Break” offers all guests half off of a third-night’s stay. You don’t need a Twitter account for this one; in fact, you must call in the reservation.

Rates start at $189 per person, pre-tax, for stays Sunday through Thursday; Friday and Saturday night stays start at $199. This includes your room, three meals daily, snacks and beverages, 16 fitness classes (all optional, in case you were worried), access to resort facilities and equipment, the availability of a health professional, and evening programs. A two-night minimum is required.

Now Twitterers, get tweeting: The first 25 people to DM (direct message) @oaksspa to begin reserving this special will also receive a free 50-minute “massage.com” treatment (valued at $85), which focuses on those bodily areas that suffer from too many hours in front of the computer screen.

When: Good for stays now through April 17.
