Atop coastal bluffs on the Palos Verdes Peninsula with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Terranea Resort has been delivering extraordinary experiences since its debut in 2009. The Mediterranean-inspired resort features 582 guestrooms and suites, including spacious casitas, villas, and bungalows, providing a sophisticated yet relaxed retreat for guests of all ages. Although the resort is conveniently located just 30 minutes from both Los Angeles International and Long Beach airports, its location provides a private enclave for guests to explore all of its amenities.
Whether booking a stay in an ocean view guestroom or their residential-style casitas, guests will be afforded the opportunity to indulge at one of their nine dining experiences on the property, book a treatment at the full-service spa and fitness center, play a round at their beautiful nine-hole golf course, The Links at Terranea, take a dip in one of four swimming pools, book an amazing adventure experience, and so much more.
“Upon re-opening, we developedTerranea Promise, to promote the health and well-being of our guests, associates, and community, by providing the highest standards of care and safety,” said Agnelo Fernandes, Chief Strategy Officer & Executive Vice President. “We are grateful to continue to serve as the ultimate California coastal escape to reconnect and rejuvenate and we could not be more delighted to reunite with our dedicated associates and beloved community.”
The design of the exterior and interiors of the hotel preserves the natural beauty of its oceanfront backdrop, showcasing a coastal Mediterranean aesthetic with design elements sensitive to the area’s natural environment. Terranea’s gathering spaces incorporate original paintings, designs, and sculptures created by artists from the local community. Each piece is a reflection of the area’s picturesque natural beauty and vibrant heritage. This warm and luxurious feel is complimented by comfortable furnishings and private balconies in the accommodations as well as the elegant gardens and breathtaking ocean vistas.
“Terranea was meticulously designed with the utmost reverence for its native environment,” said Fernandes. “Guided by the philosophy of ecological sustainability, the resort’s aesthetic embraces a continuous interplay with nature and the coastal habitat of the Pacific Ocean. Every effort has been made to protect and steward this unique environment on the Palos Verdes Peninsula and also to create a warm and inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy.”
Terranea’s nine exceptional dining venues cater to an international palate with fresh coastal fare from its signature restaurant mar’sel to guest favorite Catalina kitchen for casual dining and Nelson’s, a favorite among resort guests and locals alike. The resort’s Experience Center offers a wide variety of land and aqua adventures as well as off-property offerings for guests who want to have a front row seat to magnificent wildlife (including dolphins, sea lions and whales) or for those who want a thrilling adventure like its falconry experience or archery on the beach. After a fun-filled day of going on nature hikes, tide pooling, paddle boarding, kayaking or whale watching, rejuvenate the body and spirit at The Spa at Terranea.
Tailoring its offerings by paying particular attention to the timing of a guest's visit, The Spa recommends treatments according to nature and Circadian Rhythm, with all 25 private treatment rooms overlooking Catalina Island and the glistening, panoramic seascape of the Pacific Ocean. Book one of their signature treatments like the Tranquility Massage or Ocean’s Renewal Massage and after your appointment, relax in the locker rooms or at the exclusive Spa Pool.
Terranea welcomes guests to its expansive property which occupies only one-quarter of the 102-acre site, allowing guests to enjoy more than 75 acres of untouched, natural landscape. The resort is home to extensive walking, hiking and bird watching footpaths along the scenic Discovery Trail, part of the Palos Verdes Peninsula trail system. Cozy up to one of the more than 228 outdoor fire pits and fireplaces located throughout the resort, perfect for stargazing or making s’mores, or just to relax and take in the fresh ocean air with stunning panoramas.
