Luxury holidays in San Luis Obispo

When to go

Blessed with a Mediterranean-style climate, SLO’s summers and autumns are sunny and mild. November to February can be on the soggy side.

Getting there

• Planes

  The city has a small regional airport, with quick but pricey connections from LAX and San Francisco International Airport. Your best bet is to touch down in LA or San Francisco then strap in for a scenic coastal drive.

• Automobiles

  Downtown SLO is easy to stroll around, but you’ll need to bring some wheels or hire a car at the airport to reach the best local beaches and wineries. It’s around a three-hour drive from Los Angeles and slightly longer from San Francisco.
