We enjoyed a milestone anniversary at The Ranch and could not have been more pleased with our welcome and time at this special property. Attentive service, multiple dining options and superb amenities: pool, spa, golf and only steps from spectacular beaches. Don’t miss a massage. My wife has enjoyed many but judged the one from Terry the “best ever”. And if anything is not just right, the management and courteous staff go the extra mile to make it so.

Review by Darren Chaker A Hidden Gem in Laguna Beach - The Ranch At Laguna Beach I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Ranch At Laguna Beach, and I can confidently say that it is one of the most exceptional experiences I’ve had in Laguna Beach. Nestled along the stunning coastline of California, this beautiful resort provides a perfect blend of luxury, nature, and exceptional service, making it an ideal getaway for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat or an adventure-filled vacation. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warm hospitality and the sense of tranquility that the Ranch so effortlessly creates. The resort is tucked away in a lush canyon, surrounded by mature trees, and is just minutes from the beach. It offers a unique combination of rustic charm and modern amenities, which makes it feel like an exclusive oasis while still being close to the vibrant attractions of Laguna Beach. The Pool and Relaxation Spaces The resort’s pool area is a highlight of the property. Set against a picturesque backdrop of lush gardens and towering trees, the pool is beautifully designed, offering both a place to unwind and an opportunity to take in the natural beauty around you. The poolside lounge chairs are comfortable, and I particularly enjoyed the serene atmosphere, far removed from the typical busy resort pools. The pool itself is well-maintained and the perfect temperature, offering a refreshing break after a day of exploration. In addition to the main pool, there is also a hot tub, which provides a perfect way to relax in the evenings while gazing at the stars. The pool area is quiet and peaceful, creating the ultimate spot for relaxation. The landscaping around the pool is beautifully done, and the design of the area makes you feel as though you're immersed in nature, even while enjoying modern amenities. Amenities and Service The Ranch At Laguna Beach is rich in amenities, with everything you could need for a luxurious and comfortable stay. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a perfect balance of rustic and modern elements. Each room feels like a private retreat, with stunning views of the property or the surrounding canyon. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms are spacious and well-appointed, offering high-end toiletries and a spa-like atmosphere. What stood out to me most about the resort is the impeccable service. The staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and dedicated to making your stay as enjoyable as possible. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for, and every request I had was met with a smile and a can-do attitude. The level of service at The Ranch is truly top-notch, and I felt like a VIP throughout my stay. Dining and Culinary Experiences Dining at The Ranch is an experience in itself. The resort offers several dining options, including a beautiful on-site restaurant that serves delicious, locally-sourced cuisine. The meals I had at the restaurant were exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. I highly recommend trying their breakfast offerings, which include a variety of options that are both healthy and indulgent. The farm-to-table concept is evident in the quality of the food, and you can taste the care and passion that goes into every dish. Activities and Surroundings The Ranch At Laguna Beach offers a wide range of activities for guests. The resort is located on a beautiful golf course, so if you’re a fan of golf, you’ll have access to one of the most scenic courses in the area. I also enjoyed hiking through the surrounding canyon and trails, which provide breathtaking views of the landscape. For those seeking a bit more adventure, the resort is just a short drive from the world-famous beaches of Laguna Beach, where you can enjoy surfing, kayaking, and beach activities. One of the most memorable aspects of my stay was the opportunity to enjoy nature while being just minutes away from the lively and artistic Laguna Beach town. Whether you want to relax in the tranquility of the property or explore the nearby area, The Ranch provides the perfect balance. Conclusion In summary, The Ranch At Laguna Beach is a perfect destination for those looking to experience the natural beauty of Southern California while enjoying top-tier amenities and exceptional service. Whether you’re looking to relax by the pool, enjoy world-class dining, or explore the stunning landscape, this resort offers something for everyone. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting Laguna Beach and can’t wait to return!
