The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

About The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel claims its position above Salt Creek Beach on the California coast, halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Monarch Beach's championship golf course is located just down the road, while direct beach access means morning surf sessions fit easily into your day. The spa and two outdoor pools handle afternoon recovery between rounds. Ritz-Carlton service extends from dining on Southern California cuisine at multiple restaurants to eco-adventures led by expert naturalists. When the day winds down, settle into the cliffside lounge for handcrafted cocktails and small plates as the sun drops into the Pacific.

What We Love

Monarch Beach Golf Links unfolds as one of Southern California's rare ocean courses, where Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s Scottish links-style design challenges golfers with strategic variety and sweeping Pacific views from every hole. Back at the resort, The Ritz-Carlton Spa uses elements of the ocean—marine collagen, sea salt, beach stones, seaweed—to restore balance through transformational wellness journeys. Treatment rooms bathed in soft aqua and beige feature their own water elements, while eucalyptus steam rooms and dry saunas complete the sensory experience. Two outdoor pools and two whirlpools offer different atmospheres: the lagoon-style Dana Pool for families, the other for quiet relaxation. Beach butler service, surf lessons, whale watching and the Eco-Adventure Center's naturalist-led explorations give you options when you're ready to put down the clubs.
