Occupying 87 acres in the verdant Aliso Canyon, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is a short walk from one of the most idyllic beaches in Southern California. The Ranch, which also frequently ranks among the top California resorts, has nightly live music, 97 elegant guest rooms, including a two-bedroom tree house, and luscious treatments at Sycamore Spa.
Travel + Leisure, July 2025It’s a stylish but low-key resort with just under a hundred guest rooms, suites, and cottages. Even the most standard option, the Canyon Room, is graciously proportioned, with ample indoor and outdoor space, all designed with a coastal ranch aesthetic that feels just right for the location.
