Poised above coastal bluffs with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Terranea debuted in June 2009 as the only luxury destination resort on the Los Angeles coast. The Mediterranean-inspired resort provides a sophisticated retreat for guests with a relaxed ambiance and panoramic seascape views. Celebrated for its natural beauty, the 102-acre estate features 582 guestrooms and suites, including spacious casitas and villas, and The Bungalows at Terranea, a collection of guest accommodations featuring spa and wellness-focused amenities. Other luxurious resort amenities spotlight eight unique dining experiences, a full-service spa and fitness center, award-winning golf course, four swimming pools (including the new Vista Pool opened in August 2015), kids’ club, ecological enrichment programs and 135,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor wedding and event space.
Terranea is located on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, one of Southern California’s most scenic and coveted coastlines overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Guests enjoy a tranquil escape in this natural haven, conveniently located 30 minutes from both Los Angeles International and Long Beach airports and just 30 miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles.
The resort has been meticulously designed to heighten and preserve the natural beauty of its oceanfront backdrop, showcasing a coastal Mediterranean aesthetic with design elements sensitive to the area’s natural environment. Each of the resorts’ 582 spacious guest retreats exudes a warm and luxurious feel with comfortable furnishings and private balconies that overlook elegant gardens and breathtaking ocean vistas. Terranea’s 360-room hotel offers 326 guest rooms and 34 suites that range from 450 sq. ft. to the 1,800 sq. ft. Presidential Suite.

Catering to an international palate, Terranea’s eight exceptional dining venues range from gourmet cuisine to casual fare – all set against the Pacific Ocean. Mar’sel, Terranea’s signature restaurant reflects a modern twist on California cuisine as inventive as its name suggests (Spanish for “sea” and French for “salt”). A seasonal, gourmet menu spotlights local ingredients alongside herbs and produce grown on property in the chef’s garden and at nearby Catalina View Gardens. Nelson’s, with its spectacular cliff-top setting directly above the Pacific Ocean, is a guest favorite for casual dining. Enjoy coastal cuisine and a warm, friendly bar atmosphere surrounded by outdoor fire pits and unrivalled sunset views. From a business breakfast to lunchtime gatherings with the family, guests savor a variety of options throughout the day at Catalina Kitchen. Dine indoors, or al fresco on the outdoor terrace, amid ocean breezes and views of the coastline and the sparkling resort pool. Offering a contemporary blend of Asian cuisine and local flavors in a spectacular setting, Chef de Cuisine Bruce Nguyen prepares ‘wok’ style dishes inspired by his heritage and fond memories at Bashi.
The award-winning Spa at Terranea is a 50,000 sq. ft. oasis set amid sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. Luxurious treatments and state-of-the-art amenities pamper both resort guests and daytime visitors. The Spa features 25 treatment rooms, separate men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, 25,000 sq. ft. of outdoor space, including private spa pool and hot tubs, manicure and pedicure stations, hair and beauty salon services, a 5,000 sq. ft. fitness center with yoga and Pilates studio, retail outlet with custom spa products, a Spa Café and a range of fitness programs.
The award-winning, 9-hole, par 3, oceanfront course was designed by Todd Eckenrode. Featuring a short game practice area with chipping and putting greens, The Links offers an affordable and enjoyable golf experience on one of the most scenic peninsulas in Southern California. The practice putting green is an expansive, two-tiered complex that can be utilized as a 9- or 18-hole putting course. On-site PGA professionals offer personalized instruction through Terranea’s Golf Academy, helping golfers evaluate every aspect of the game, including proper practice techniques and short game mechanics. In addition, the Golf Academy offers fitness evaluations using the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) Golf Fitness Program, allowing individuals to receive the same physical assessment and fitness training that professional golfers use. Golfers can enjoy additional offerings at Trump National Golf Club, a public 18-hole course located three miles south of Terranea.
