Montage Laguna Beach

As a California native, I spend a lot of time by the ocean at seaside resorts. Here is a list of my favorite hotels along the California coast from Mendocino to San Diego. Stay at these plush resorts for fabulous spas, views, concierges, and world-class dining. Save yourself hours of research by choosing from my list of recommendations -- this is the same list I give my friends and family who always ask me where to go! ☀️ Free guide developed by yours truly 🦄 I’m available to build custom itineraries 🐠 Check out my other guides!
