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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
