Terranea Resort

With a secluded promontory location and sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Terranea Resort, part of the Destination Hotels & Resorts family and slated to make its debut this summer, will be among Southern California's most luxurious destinations. Located along the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Terranea Resort embraces the rich Mediterranean architecture favored in these parts. Its gracious, old-world ambiance is evident at every turn, from the exquisite hotel lobby and outdoor gardens to the magnificent private terraces and hidden courtyards warmed by outdoor fireplaces. As a guest you will want for nothing as all the luxuries and amenities have been thoughtfully selected to ensure a pampered stay.

The 582-room resort includes a 360-room hotel with 32 suites, 20 oceanfront bungalows and an additional 50 ocean view casitas and 32 villas. Behind each door is a capsule of luxury with stunning views, warm color schemes and refined elegance of a hedonistic hideaway. There are also fabulous dining spots to slip away to, as well as a sublime spa offering a menu of treatments, a nine-hole golf course, and privileges at the adjacent Trump National Golf Club. The lush gardens and pools reflect their surroundings, and guests can venture out for a two-mile hike on Terranea's flora-laden trails to inhale the area's natural beauty. Nearby attractions include Wayfarer's Chapel, a sanctuary designed by the son of Frank Lloyd Wright and made entirely of glass, as well as shopping at the nearby coastal towns of Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach.
