If you’re dreaming of the ultimate American holiday, start your adventures off in Los Angeles, the city of angels. For flights, Adelaide to Los Angeles generally takes around 15 hours and may include a stopover in Sydney, Asia or the Middle East.

While 15 hours may seem long, a holiday in LA is well worth the wait and the city is home to more than enough places to relax and unwind after your long flight. Treat your mind and body to a pamper session at one of LA’s day spas. Whether you have champagne tastes or a beer budget, the city is home to an array of spas and unique treatments for all budgets. For the ultimate indulgence, head to the Beverly Wilshire for a session in the aromatherapy-crystal steam rooms or a ‘Caribbean Rain’ experience shower.

If lotions and potions aren’t really you’re thing, consider joining a yoga or tai chi class held on one of LA’s beaches. What could be better than watching the sunrise while meditating followed by a dip in the ocean? After your morning class, keep the good vibes going by enjoying a healthy breakfast at a beach-side café. For a classic LA breakfast, head to the Beach Café at Paradise Cove in Malibu for a three egg omelette and freshly squeezed juice.
