Its 87 acres have become a place of respite, surrounded by awe-inspiring natural beauty, farm-to-table cuisine at Harvest Restaurant, and the necessary trappings of an elevated resort – 97 cottage inspired rooms, nine sublime fairways, a luxe spa, biodynamic farm and countless amenities and activities.

We recently held our retreat at The Ranch at Laguna Beach, and it was the absolute perfect choice for an inspiring, relaxing getaway. Nestled in a stunning canyon just minutes from the coast, the property offers a unique, serene atmosphere that immediately makes you feel at ease. What made our stay so special: The Rooms: Our accommodations were spotlessly clean, spacious, and beautifully designed with a relaxed, coastal-chic vibe that made it easy to unwind. Exceptional Dining: We had an incredible dining experience. Every dish was fresh and beautifully prepared, but what truly elevated our night was the service. Chris was especially attentive, warm, and went above and beyond to make sure our group was perfectly taken care of. Beautiful Grounds & Garden: Taking a stroll through their organic garden was a highlight! It was so charming to see the chickens and experience the sustainable, farm-to-table spirit of the resort up close. Outdoor Yoga: Starting the day with an outdoor yoga class surrounded by nature and canyon views was absolutely magical and rejuvenating. The staff’s hospitality is unmatched, the surroundings are gorgeous, and the attention to detail is flawless. We left feeling completely refreshed and inspired. We highly recommend this resort for anyone planning a special group trip or a peaceful personal escape!

Absolutely loved our Creekside Studio Suite where we spent a lot of time on our large patio listening to the water run over the rocks looking up at the beautiful Mountain View with the breeze. The shuttle to the beach was a nice touch as well as the great pool service (thanks Michael!). Such a beautiful and secluded great escape from the city for this couple celebrating their 24th anniversary!

A truly memorable experience. From check-in to check-out, the staff have perfected customer service. They have merged high end accommodation and relaxation better than anyone. I can’t wait to find an excuse to stay here again on the very near future!

Our family just spent the weekend at The Ranch for our son's wedding, and all I can say is WOW. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, we felt truly cared for. I hosted both the rehearsal dinner and welcome party at The Ranch, so I had been working with the events team for months leading up to the wedding. As any parent planning a wedding knows, there are a lot of moving pieces and plenty of opportunities for things to go wrong. Thankfully, that was never the case here. A huge thank you to Haley. She was incredible from start to finish. She was always responsive, answered every question I had, and helped make the planning process feel effortless. When we arrived at the property, she personally welcomed me and continued to check on me throughout the weekend. She genuinely cared that everything was exactly how I envisioned it. Chris was equally amazing. He checked on us throughout the rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and wedding day. It wasn't just good customer service—it felt like he was personally invested in making sure our family had the best possible experience. The front desk staff was exceptional as well. I wish I could remember their names because they deserve recognition. They greeted me by my first name when I arrived. They were warm and welcoming every time we interacted with them. The rehearsal dinner and welcome party were absolutely perfect. Every detail was handled beautifully. The staff constantly checked in with me to make sure everything was to my liking, and I never once had to track anyone down or worry about any issues. The service was incredible—even down to the staff placing napkins in our laps at dinner. It was clear that attention to detail is a priority at The Ranch. Housekeeping was top-notch. We arrived to find a bottle of champagne and a handwritten note waiting in our room, which was such a thoughtful touch. Throughout our stay, our room was attended to multiple times, and we were always stocked with fresh towels, water, and every amenity we could need. We truly felt spoiled. And then there is the property itself. It is absolutely beautiful. The wedding was picture-perfect, and the setting could not have been more stunning. Every corner of the property feels special. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous everything was. What impressed me most was the consistency. Every single staff member we encountered seemed happy to be there and genuinely interested in making our stay memorable. That level of service is rare. As the mother of the groom, I can honestly say The Ranch helped make one of the most important weekends of our lives absolutely unforgettable. We made memories that will last a lifetime, and I am so grateful to everyone who played a part in making it so special. Thank you, Haley, Chris, and the entire team. You exceeded every expectation.
