HOTEL OVERVIEW

You know that moment when you pull up to a hotel and immediately think “okay, this is going to be good”? That’s exactly what happens at Montage Laguna Beach. The property sits right on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific, and honestly, the location alone would be enough to justify staying here. But what really gets me is how they’ve managed to create something that feels authentically Laguna Beach – not some generic luxury resort that could be anywhere.

The resort spreads across these terraced levels that follow the natural coastline, which means pretty much every room has some kind of ocean view (though trust me, splurge for the oceanfront if you can swing it). What I love is that it actually feels like it belongs here – the craftsman-style architecture fits perfectly with Laguna’s artsy, coastal vibe rather than trying to compete with it. The staff knows their stuff too, and I mean beyond the usual five-star service. They’ll tell you the best time to hit Main Beach to avoid crowds, or that the tide pools at Treasure Island Beach are worth the short walk south – that kind of local intel you can’t get from a guidebook.

The spa is where things get really interesting, though. It’s built into the cliff face with treatment rooms that have floor-to-ceiling windows facing the ocean. I had a massage there during sunset once and, well, let’s just say it’s hard to go back to windowless spa rooms after that. The pools are another highlight – there’s the main infinity pool that everyone photographs, but there are also these smaller, quieter spots tucked around the property where you can actually relax without feeling like you’re part of someone’s Instagram shoot. The restaurants are solid (Studio is the fine dining spot, Loft is more casual), though honestly, with downtown Laguna Beach just a five-minute drive away, you’d be crazy not to explore the local scene. Speaking of getting around, valet parking is included, which is clutch because street parking in Laguna Beach is basically a blood sport, especially in summer. The only real downside? Well, you’re going to pay for all this – it’s definitely a splurge-level place. But if you’re looking for that perfect blend of luxury and authentic California coastal charm, and you want to feel like you’re actually experiencing Laguna Beach rather than just staying near it, Montage delivers. Just book early if you’re planning a summer visit – this place fills up fast, and for good reason.

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 the pool, our walks and in our sumptuously appointed beds....truly a 10 and above on every level.
