With year-round sunshine and Orange County’s famous beaches at your doorstep, you experience the quintessential Southern Californian lifestyle at Montage Laguna Beach. At this Forbes Five-Star resort, you can spot wave-riding dolphins from your balcony and bounce between the renowned mosaic-tiled pool and the oceanfront Spa Montage Laguna Beach. As the day winds down, you have the fulfilling chance to watch the vibrant sunset shimmer a multitude of colors across the sea, cocktail in hand, as man-made lights begin to twinkle along the coastline.

  • Stay in shape with a yoga class or a session at the state-of-the-art gym
  • Unwind in a chic cabana by the glistening pool, the resort’s colorful centerpiece

Accommodations

The resort’s 260 guestrooms, suites, and villas each come with a private balcony or patio that offers gorgeous sea views that are especially breathtaking at sunset. Thoughtfully chosen art pieces remind you of Laguna Beach’s reputation as an artists’ colony. Each marble bathroom features a deep-soaking tub, while your retreat’s plump sofa is perfect for sprawling out on after a day by the pool. Come bedtime, fall asleep between sumptuous, soothing linens and goose-down pillows, as you are lulled by the gentle crash of waves.

For a swanky group getaway, book one of the three-bedroom villas — Villa Du Couchant, Villa Menton, or Villa Du Soleil — with amenities such as convivial living spaces, multiple fireplaces, a gourmet kitchen, and an outdoor hot tub and grill.

Dining

Montage Laguna Beach’s two restaurants and lounge celebrate local ingredients and global flavors. Dine on contemporary American fare at The Loft, stop in Mosaic Bar and Grille for casual poolside eats, or while away an afternoon or evening at Lobby Lounge. In-room dining or a private meal are always available as well.

Montage Laguna Beach Dining

The Loft – On the fourth floor overlooking the ocean, this all-day eatery is a beach-chic favorite of guests and locals alike. À la carte menus feel as light and breezy as the interiors, with seasonal modern American cuisine and healthy dining options along with an intimate bar that offers a menu of light bites.

Mosaic Bar and Grille – Open for lunch year-round, as well as dinner during the summer, this restaurant near the main pool serves casual Southern Californian cuisine. Start with a craft beer or a signature cocktail — try a drink known as El Jimador, made with house-infused tequila and ginger — and choose from dishes like rockfish ceviche, quinoa black bean burger, and salmon and kale salad.

The Lobby Lounge – Open from breakfast to late evening, this atmospheric lounge serves coffee, cakes, and croissants, along with creative cocktails, craft beers, and wine by the glass. For sundowners, order a hand-crafted cocktail to enjoy while a pianist offers up soothing, soulful tunes with a warm, salty breeze in play; you’ll feel like you’re right where you need to be.

Activities at Montage Laguna Beach

Montage Laguna Beach Activities

Unwind with a yoga class — styles range from mindful meditation to power yoga — or work out with a personal trainer at the oceanfront gym. Head to Spa Montage Laguna Beach for a replenishing marine mineral wrap or a therapeutic mineral bath, or simply hang out in the eucalyptus steam rooms, dry redwood saunas, ocean-air whirlpools, fireplace lounges, or adults-only lap pool. Finish with a blow dry in the salon. If you have kids aged 2 to 12, sign them up for Montage’s renowned Paintbox program, which offers arts and crafts, creative games, and outdoor adventures.

Head to the beach to snorkel around the coves and explore nearby tidal pools, or spend the morning or afternoon paddleboarding or surfing. Sign up for a guided kayak tour to Seal Rock, home to hundreds of California sea lions, or venture out on a dolphin- and whale-watching tour. Set sail on a romantic sunset cruise, or fish for barracuda while on a private or group fishing charter. Shop for luxury fashion at sophisticated, fun spots like South Coast Plaza and stroll through Laguna Beach’s contemporary art galleries and downtown boutiques.

Location

Perched on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean, Montage Laguna Beach is moments from Treasure Island Beach and a gateway to some of the most beautiful beaches in Orange County, all of which have their own unique charms. The 30-acre resort is also a convenient base to explore downtown Laguna Beach, home to more than 90 art galleries.

Paintbox at Montage Laguna Beach

Fri Aug 15 2025 15:19:38 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Tess G

We are local to the Montage in Laguna Beach and typically spent one or two days a month there for sun and relaxation. During our visits, my daughters attend Paintbox, which is a children’s program dedicated to providing adventure and creativity for children during the day. Sophia, Sophie, Emma, Amanda and Jillian always provide our daughters with the best care and endless amounts of fun! It is so nice to know that they are safe, loved, and in a fun and nurturing environment. Each staff member is so pleasant, fun and engaging with the children. From the moment they walk in to the moment we pick them up, they are fully immersed in the children’s programming. Typical days ant Paintbox include art, the beach, swimming, hiking, and playing in the beautiful facility. We can’t say enough, great things and feel so blessed to have so many wonderful adventures at Paintbox with the team of wonderful caregivers and teachers!

Try The five Senses with Kate

Fri Aug 08 2025 16:59:33 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Tara S

The hotel is fabulous! But….The SPA is incredible! I just had the most unbelievable treatment I have ever had in my whole life. It was called The five senses.. I had Kate… If you can, get Kate, I highly recommend her. I have a back injury and she worked her magic on the massage and the facial was incredible. You start with getting your feet washed, then a meditation with virtual reality, the most magical massage, then facial. The facial they use some type of product that mimics Botox. I honestly don’t know what the heck it was but I left there buying those products and feeling incredible. I highly recommend Kate and The five senses experience.

No good so far....

Fri Aug 08 2025 15:50:07 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time) by Patrick P

So disappointed in Montage Laguna Beach. We were looking foward to our stay so much and had the most tragic death occur right before we left for California. This particular hotel put stipulations on the cancellation so that we now have to shuffle our schedules in order to not lose money. I've stayed at Montage a few times and I thought i was kind of petty. So much so that this might be my first ever negative review online.
