Hotels Worth Planning a Trip Around, From Coast to Coast

The Ranch at Laguna Beach
Laguna Beach, CA

Situated in a canyon just next to Aliso Beach, The Ranch at Laguna Beach is an Orange County oasis, boasting some of the most private accommodations in the area. Start your day with a hike exploring the nearly 15,000 acres of local trails before grabbing a breakfast burrito at the beachfront cafe, then get a few practice swings in at the 9-hole golf course carved into the naturally dramatic walls of Aliso and Wood Canyons. When you're done with your daily activities, grab a cocktail by the fire pit while live music fills the air around you, before tucking into California comfort food at the onsite Harvest restaurant, made with ingredients grown on-property.
