Montage Laguna Beach Overview

First Impressions

When you pull up to Montage Laguna Beach, honestly, it feels like you’ve stumbled onto a movie set. This five-star resort sits perched on the bluffs above one of California’s most stunning coastlines, and I mean — the Pacific stretches endlessly before you. The Craftsman-style architecture doesn’t try too hard to impress, but there’s something about those weathered shingles and natural stone that just works perfectly with the rugged Laguna Beach setting.

Location & Setting

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? It’s tucked away on South Coast Highway, but you’re still walking distance to Laguna’s art galleries and that charming downtown vibe. The couples who stay here absolutely rave about the location — and I get it. There’s something magical about having both the dramatic coastline and the town’s creative energy right at your fingertips. The private beach access is actually what sold me, though — no crowds, just pristine sand and those iconic California sunsets.

The Accommodations

The room I stayed in had this incredible ocean view that changes throughout the day — morning fog rolling in, afternoon sun dancing on the waves. The beds here are seriously comfortable (guests consistently mention this, and they’re not wrong), with linens that feel expensive without being fussy. Each space has this relaxed luxury thing down pat — think custom furnishings and local artwork, but nothing that makes you afraid to actually live in the space for a few days.

Dining & Amenities

The breakfast situation is actually impressive — they’ve got everything from continental basics to proper vegan and gluten-free options, which isn’t always a given at luxury properties. The main restaurant overlooks the ocean, and honestly, even if the food were mediocre (it’s not), you’d come for the views. What I really appreciated was the spa — it’s got this zen-like quality that doesn’t feel overdone or pretentious. There’s also a tennis court and fitness center if you’re feeling active, plus a golf course within a couple miles if that’s your thing.

Why Guests Love It

Look, there are plenty of luxury resorts along the California coast, but this one gets the balance right. It’s sophisticated without being stuffy, and the service feels genuine rather than rehearsed. The fact that there’s parking on-site might seem like a small detail, but anyone who’s tried to navigate Laguna Beach during peak season will tell you it’s a game-changer. You’re paying premium prices here, sure, but you’re getting that rare combination of stunning natural beauty, thoughtful design, and the kind of peaceful atmosphere that actually lets you unwind. It’s the sort of place where you find yourself extending your stay — not because there’s so much to do, but because there’s finally space to just be.

Spent an incredible Birthday weekend here and it was a trip I'll remember forever. The ocean views, the beauty and impeccable maintenance of every aspect of the property, our comfortable room, the exquisite hand made chocolates and the nightly gourmet smores. How each member of the staff was genuinely kind and attentive. The peaceful rest we had at...
