La La Land, Tinsel Town, The City of Angels…Los Angeles, California; there really is no place like it. Round-the-year sunshine, shopping, surfing and star-gazing (of the celebrity or the cosmic kind). Whether you’re looking for a green juice, yoga and hiking kinda break or an around-the-clock party blowout, LA has it all to offer – on steroids.

The vast, sprawling metropolis that stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Hollywood Hills – and way, way beyond is one of the largest conurbations on the planet. It has a wide range of areas to explore from the starry Sunset Strip and Hollywood to the coastal Santa Monica, Venice and Malibu or the cool Downtown district and surrounding hipster enclaves of Echo Park, Silver Lake and Los Feliz.

There are studio tours including Warner Bros, Universal and Sony or celebrity home tours around the mega-mansions of Beverly Hills and Bel Air where you can catch a glimpse of the lives of Hollywood’s rich and famous; homes belonging to everyone from Tom Cruise to Taylor Swift.

As for eating out, LA is a foodie’s delight with restaurants catering for every palette: from incredible sushi to classic So-Cal menus, Mexican, Chinese, Steak houses, vegan, gluten-free or paleo – all to the exacting standards of the city’s A-list residents.

And did we mention the shopping? From the exclusive Rodeo Drive to the endless malls – including Victoria Beckham’s favourite outdoor shopping centre The Grove, expect to splash some serious cash on designer garb and all the latest trends from cool West Coast designers. There are also bargain vintage shops to peruse on Melrose Avenue, Venice Beach and in Hollywood itself. So much to do!
