Hidden Lodge

Getaway to The Ranch at Laguna Beach

When you’re the only property in California that’s a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World, you’re doing something special. Dubbed the Yosemite of Orange County, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is pure coastal boutique, with sustainability as a pillar of its ethos and plenty of adventurous and relaxing activities to nurture your spirit.

Take a yoga and Pilates–inspired fitness class by the pool in the morning. Kids will love the campfires, stargazing, and junior rangers programs. Spend a day exploring Catalina Island or playing some 9-hole (beginner-friendly!) golf at Ben Brown’s GEO Certified course.

Your stay includes access to some of SoCal’s best hikes, mountain bike trails, and beaches. Wind down with a cocktail from the Pond Bar and sink into the heated saline pool and hot tub.

Then have dinner on the romantic patio at Harvest restaurant, where seasonal specials are freshly sourced from the property’s half-acre organic garden. Make your next local weekend away feel like a world away, where the mountains meet the Pacific.

PROMO: Stay three nights and get the fourth night free.
