Situated atop a 150-foot bluff overlooking the Pacific, the Mediterranean-style Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel offers one of the best beach-side retreats in the region, with services and amenities to match. Kids are king here and all ages are well catered for, throughout the day and at every meal. Beach butlers are always on hand to suggest and help plan activities, and The Eco-Adventure Center program plans excursions like whale-watching and tide pool trips. There’s also plenty of water sports activities for everyone to enjoy and for teens, there are surfing lessons on demand.
Guest rooms have been decorated in creams and soft blues to reflect the waves outside and have ocean, pool or garden views. We especially liked the Outdoor Gardenview Fireplace Rooms which, with a personal gas firepit on the balcony, ensure that even on a cool night you can still enjoy the ocean view. Although well-appointed with comfortable beds, marble bathrooms and Asprey bath amenities, some of the entry level rooms are showing their age, so you may be more comfortable with a higher-end choice.
Of course, the club floor packs a punch if you enjoy higher levels of attention and a glass of Californian red or white and a snack in the evenings. The dedicated concierge team makes everything seems effortless, even if your request is decidedly demanding.
The resort has two full-service restaurants, Raya with its Pan Latin cuisine and sweeping ocean views and enoSTEAK, an elegant steakhouse with its impressive, decadent wine collection. There are other places to have a light meal as well, including poolside and down on the beach, and it’s worth stopping into Bar Raya for a drink, pre or post dinner.
This being California, the spa and the gym with its floor-to-ceiling windows that look out over the beach are pretty fabulous, and the resort has access to several golf courses in the vicinity.
