It’s California’s only National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World. The Ranch at Laguna Beach sits on an iconic piece of land where the mountains meet the Pacific. This boutique coastal ranch hotel was completely reimagined and renovated in 2016.

Hidden in Aliso and Wood Canyons, the Ranch embodies beach-cottage, indoor-outdoor ambience, with sustainability as a pillar of their laid-back and stylish ethos. It’s also got easy access to some of SoCal’s best beaches, hiking and mountain biking trails, surfing, and adventure kayaking.

Don’t miss the 2-mile (round-trip) Valido Trail. This gorgeous hike will get your heart pumping with its quick climb through a canyon and up to a lookout with spin-around views of the Pacific and the entire coastline of Laguna Beach.

Then retreat for a Calming Canyon Massage at the bohemian-inspired Sycamore Spa, where earth and sea keep you grounded in nature’s healing power.

Or relax with a round of 9-hole golf (beginner-friendly) at the GEO Certified Ben Brown’s Golf Course—surrounded by the lush Aliso and Wood Canyons. Later, dine on the romantic patio overlooking Aliso Canyon and enjoy the bar at Harvest.
