Worth Traveling For

What We Love

Monarch Beach Golf Links delivers one of Southern California's rare oceanfront golf experiences, where Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s design challenges players with tight fairways, firm greens and panoramic Pacific views. The contrast between rolling fairways, white sand and endless blue ocean creates visual distraction that forgives no missed putts. Back at the resort, the private Monarch Bay Beach Club extends beach access exclusively to guests and members—surf lessons, paddleboard rentals, beach butler service, and an oceanfront bar serving California microbrews and coastal cuisine. The Waldorf Astoria Spa curates experiences personalized for authentic peace, using ocean-inspired treatments and wellness journeys that go beyond standard massage. Three pools offer different atmospheres: the Monarch Pool faces directly toward the Pacific with infinity-edge spas seemingly spilling into the panorama, while dedicated family and adult pools handle different vacation styles. Beach yoga, fitness classes and naturalist-led eco-adventures fill the spaces between golf rounds.
