A Coastal Icon, Reimagined
From the moment you arrive, the redesigned Lobby Lounge sets the tone for your stay. Decked out in refined coastal decor and framed by expansive views of the Pacific, this refreshed space is where the rhythm of Laguna Beach meets relaxed luxury. The adjoining Bella Vista Terrace draws visitors in with its serene ambiance. It offers the perfect spot to linger over a cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon.
“Our resort embraces the heart and soul of sophisticated coastal living,” says General Manager Joanna Bear. “Every detail—from the elegant furnishings to the custom-curated artwork—reflects a commitment to craftsmanship and timeless coastal luxury amidst unparalleled beauty.”
The oceanfront pool has also been revitalized, with plush loungers and sparkling waters offering a tranquil retreat. Together, these create a blissful barefoot oasis that feels worlds away from everyday life.
Coastal Dining at Its Finest
The crown jewel of the resort’s culinary offerings is Splashes Restaurant, which has reopened after a significant transformation. The renovated space now features a brighter and more vibrant aesthetic. Picture new marble tables, elegant furniture, inspiring art pieces and a custom-curated sculpture that hangs from the ceiling in the dining room.
Helmed by Chef Ron Fougeray, the menu highlights the best of innovative coastal cuisine, with seasonal dishes that celebrate local flavors. Whether you’re indulging in dinner with ocean waves as your backdrop or savoring a glass of sommelier-selected wine from the restaurant’s award-winning wine program on the terrace, Splashes offers more than just a meal—it’s a sensory experience uniquely defined by the waves that crash against its seawalls. With its fresh design and unparalleled views, this restaurant continues to remain one of Laguna Beach’s most celebrated dining destinations.
