2024 Forbes Travel Guide Award

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.

  • Admire endless ocean views from one of the 260 guestrooms, suites, and villas
  • 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
  • Go wild on the water with a jet ski, a kayak, a paddle board, or a surfboard
  • Strum a Taylor Koa GS Mini guitar by the sea, thanks to the Coastal Chords program
  • Participate in Montage Merits and win badges by checking off local activities

Montage Laguna Beach is a perfect blend of beachy charm and refined elegance, thanks to craftsman-style architecture and an impressive collection of 20th-century art. The surrounding area is brimming with art and culture — although you may never feel the urge to leave the resort.

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.

Perfection

Everything was wonderful!! The service, the guest rooms, the food, the views. We celebrated a small family wedding in the Loft Private Dining Room and stayed the night. Since we were celebrating they brought us a little chocolate cake and champagne!

Jenna Jiampietro is an unbelievable host. We had everything we needed the entire time. She quickly made our reservations happen and booked an amazing experience at the spa. She is thoughtful and responsive. There are other options out there but we continually come back to the Montage because of Jenna.

Montage Laguna is the Best

The Montage is fabulous every time. Edwin cleaned my room. What a fantastic guy. One thing that was above and beyond - he made sure I had dry cushions on my patio furniture after it rained over night. WOW! The piano player in the bar, the room service, the food…simply the best.

We didn't want to go home

Beautiful property, exceptional staff, and great dining options. It is very close to Newport and Laguna Beach shopping and dining but has plenty to offer on site between the pools and beach access. This was our second visit and we plan to make it a regular annual trip.

Great experience at the Montage!

We had a great weekend getaway at the Montage. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The staff was excellent from start to finish. We were really pleased with all aspects of our visit. Definitely one of the best hotels that we have stayed at in the area.
