Orange County's well-bred Laguna Beach is the backdrop to Surf & Sand Laguna Beach, which feels secluded despite its central location. The Pacific Ocean glimmers in newly renovated rooms and suites – a palate of cool whites, beige and aquamarine blends with the view seen through floor-to-ceiling windows. Chic cabanas flank a beachside infinity pool, and original artwork supports Laguna’s thriving art community.
Located directly on 500 feet of California’s pristine Laguna Beach, Surf & Sand Laguna Beach offers private oceanfront balconies, exquisite coastal dining, an award-winning spa and more. From those looking for a family adventure to couples and friends seeking a pure relaxing getaway, Surf & Sand Laguna Beach has you covered. Our oceanfront hotel in California resembles a sun-washed Mediterranean Village. We offer 165 beachfront guest rooms, including 13 Laguna Beach suites, all of which feature stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and private balconies. Surf & Sand Laguna Beach is the perfect getaway for couples and families alike. Named in 2019 among the top 25 resorts in Southern California by Conde Nast Traveler readers, the resort also offers meeting and event space perfect for dream weddings and corporate retreats.

I recently stayed at Surf & Sand while in California for work, and I decided to take two days off to truly enjoy the property—and I’m so glad I did. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. The rooms are clean, modern, and beautifully designed, but the real highlight is the view. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and stepping out to a breathtaking beach just steps away is something I won’t forget. What made the stay even more special was the staff. From the front desk team to the servers at the pool, everyone was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. They made me feel right at home. Surf & Sand is the perfect mix of relaxation and coastal beauty. I left feeling refreshed and already planning my return—next time with my family, so they can experience it too. Highly recommend for both work trips with a little downtime and family getaways.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was fantastic with a wonderful view. The service was excellent. If I had to recommend any improvement ,it would be an expanded room service menu.

From the moment we checked in, Maxine at the front desk and Ali from Concierge made us feel welcome and at home. Ali’s recommendations enhanced our trip in charming Laguna beach. The room could not be closer to the ocean and looked decorated from Restoration Hardware with shimmering white counters and features. The staff were all friendly and warm. The complimentary yoga session was the most tailored and inspiring class I have been to. 💯 recommend Surf and Sand!

Oh my, what a surprise. The property was remodeled in June 2025 and looks like new. Located right on the beach/waves and this weekend featured high surf courtesy of a Hurricane to the Southwest. Our visit was a work retreat and the facilities, rooms, food, and service were all 5 Star. The surf was so loud it actually woke us up during the night. We finished our visit at the Bar right on the beach and it was a great experience.

This resort is truly one of the most beautiful I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us with warm smiles and genuine kindness. Every request throughout our stay was handled promptly, and they went above and beyond by surprising my sister with a thoughtful birthday gift. Our room, located on the second floor, offered breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of the waves. The entire experience was wonderful, and I would highly recommend this resort, it is absolutely worth it.

We spent 5 luxurious nights at the Surf & Sand hotel in Laguna Beach, CA, the week of August 14th, 2004. Upon arrival at our oceanfront room, we received chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. A full breakfast in Splashes restaurant included anything we wanted on the menu each day. We had a wonderful dinner including a bottle of wine, and even the hotel taxes and parking each day was included. It was a really great vacation.

My husband, daughter and I spent a luxurious four days in August at the Surf & Sand Resort in Laguna Beach, CA. This was the perfect place to recuperate after dropping my youngest off for his freshman year at USC! Thank you.
