31 Places to Go This Summer

19. SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA

Cavallo Point, a retreat center devoted to environmental health and sustainability, is opening on the grounds of the century-old Fort Baker, in Marin County across the Golden Gate from San Francisco. The latest step in the Bay Area's slow-food obsession, the complex officially opens June 14, with rotating guest chefs, a spa, adventure programs and an eagerly awaited restaurant. Units in the historic section, set in former lieutenants' and generals' quarters, start at $350 for a room with a view and $250 for one without a view. (888-651-2003; www.cavallopoint.com)
