Pool + Gym

An exclusive rooftop destination.

Proper boasts the Westside’s exclusive rooftop pool, offering breathtaking views of the surf, coastline, mountains, and cityscape. Whether you prefer lounging poolside, relaxing in cabanas or private alcoves, gathering at the circular bar with a fireplace, or dining at their award-winning Mediterranean-inspired restaurant, Calabra, every moment promises a memorable escape.

The Proper gym features generous natural light with floor-to-ceiling glass windows filled with state-of-the-art equipment; we specifically love the Woodway treadmills as well as the Peloton Bikes and Treads. Outdoor classes are offered to guests, including yoga and boot camp. Group and personalized training sessions are available upon request.
Spa

A flagship collaboration with Martha Soffer.

The 3,000-square-foot Surya Spa is a flagship collaboration with Martha Soffer, an internationally acclaimed Ayurvedic doctor, chef and herbalist. Guests can explore Indian wellness principles from the leaders of modern Ayurveda, including therapeutic massage, steam and oil treatments, cooking, yoga, meditation, and three to twenty-one day Panchakarma programs designed to cleanse and restore balance to the body, mind and emotions.
Restaurants + Bar

Mediterranean and California cuisine.

The elevated outdoor rooftop restaurant and bar serves Mediterranean and California cuisine amidst breathtaking ocean views. Whether you’re relaxing on the sundeck, gathered around the circular bar, or lounging indoors, every seat offers a panoramic backdrop of the Pacific. Indulge in a curated selection of boutique wines, seasonal cocktails, and small-batch spirits, perfectly complementing the inspiring ambiance of this coastal retreat.

The lobby lounge, Palma, is a gorgeous setting for all-day dining or light bites, a deep dive on small-batch mezcals, and boutique wines by the glass. But it's the rooftop bar that really steals the show! Calabra gives guests the perfect opportunity to sip on something with a view.
