Venue Features
The Scene:
Surf & Sand Resort, resembling a sun-washed Mediterranean Village, lies on California’s Laguna Beach shoreline where the waves of the Pacific meet 500 feet of pristine sand. Laguna Beach, which is renowned for its long history as a center for the arts, is home to the world-famous Pageant of the Masters festival.
Design:
All 167 smoke free beachfront Laguna Beach hotel rooms including 13 Laguna Beach hotel suites at Surf & Sand Resort feature spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. A palette of ocean colors can be seen in textiles and custom furnishings. Original artwork, luxurious linens and new modern lighting provide comprehensive contemporary comforts to our Laguna Beach hotel rooms, while private furnished balconies extend the coastal experience further. Surf & Sand Resort also offers nightly turndown service, luxurious bath amenities and fully stocked in-room mini-bars.
Standout Venue Features:
For decades the Surf & Sand pool has been a popular draw for couples and families alike. Completely refreshed in 2010, our Laguna Beach hotel pool deck has been transformed into a haven for complete escape. New modern cabanas, a wave-inspired structure, cozy chaise lounges and a poolside bar add a contemporary touch, while a scenic tile mural by a local artist further embraces the charm of Laguna Beach.

Our beachfront hotel in California also houses Aquaterra Spa which provides an oceanfront oasis where guests relax with personalized spa treatments designed by passionate practitioners. Indulge in a wide variety of treatments including customized massages, skincare, seasonal body treatments, couple’s rituals, in-room bath rituals, waxing and nail care services all enhanced with therapeutic properties of native botanicals, ocean and earth.

Our Laguna Beach resort’s signature restaurant, Splashes, blends flavors from Southern California’s coastline and Mediterranean-inspired preparations to create unforgettable dishes. Our Executive Chef Ron Fougeray focuses on using fresh, local ingredients.

Surf & Sand Resort also features 10,000 square feet of indoor and an additional 10,000 square feet of outdoor Laguna Beach meeting and event space and wedding venues with stunning ocean views.
Extra Perks:
Nightly turndown service, luxurious bath amenities and fully stocked in-room mini-bars are just the start. We take pride in offering personalized, heartfelt service to each and every guest.
