Surf and Sand Resort

Surf and Sand Resort, resembling a sun-washed Mediterranean Village, lies on California’s Laguna Beach shoreline where the waves of the Pacific meet 500 feet of pristine sand. Laguna Beach, which is renowned for its long history as a center for the arts, is home to the world-famous Pageant of the Masters festival.

All 167 guest rooms and 16 suites at Surf & Sand command spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. Part of a recent $3 million renovation, guest rooms have been refreshed with a new California coastal design that’s both timeless and elegant. A palette of ocean colors can be seen in textiles and custom furnishings. Original artwork, luxurious linens and new modern lighting provide comprehensive contemporary comforts, while private furnished balconies extend the coastal experience further.

For decades the Surf & Sand pool has been a popular draw for couples and families alike. Completely refreshed in 2010, the pool deck has been transformed into a haven for complete escape. New modern cabanas, a wave-inspired structure, cozy chaise lounges and a poolside bar add a contemporary touch, while a scenic tile mural by a local artist further embraces the charm of Laguna Beach.

The resort also houses Aquaterra Spa which provides an oceanfront oasis where guests relax with personalized spa treatments designed by passionate practitioners. Indulge in a wide variety of treatments including customized massages, skincare, seasonal body treatments, couple’s rituals, in-room bath rituals, waxing and nail care services all enhanced with therapeutic properties of native botanicals, ocean and earth.

The resort’s signature restaurant, Splashes, is playground to Executive Chef Jeff Armstrong, who blends flavors from Southern California’s coastline and uses Mediterranean-inspired preparations to create unforgettable dishes. His menu is seasonal and ingredients always fresh. Sweet corn ravioli; heirloom tomatoes with peaches and chili breadcrumbs; and delicately seared scallops with faro risotto are just a few enticing favorites.

Surf & Sand Resort also features 10,000 square feet of indoor and an additional 10,000 square feet of outdoor meeting and event space and wedding venues with stunning ocean views.
