Dreaming of an island vacation? You don’t have to fly halfway around the world to enjoy a tropical paradise with palm trees aplenty — not when places like Catalina Island exist. Located just off the coast of Southern California, this breezy island is a sanctuary for foodies, golfers, adventurists, and anyone simply craving a good view. And when you stay at Hotel Atwater in Avalon, the island’s main hub, you’ll have easy access to all of it and more. Think luxe suites, ocean-inspired spa treatments, and one of the country’s oldest golf courses.

1	Spacious Suites — At Hotel Atwater, guests can choose from a variety of rooms to accommodate their specific needs. From oversized suites with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms to accessible guestrooms, you’re sure to find the perfect lodging for you.
2	Avalon Grille — Feast on California-inspired island cuisine at one of Catalina’s best restaurants! Enjoy local fish, premium meats, or the Chicago-style Famous Wrigley Martini.
3	Descanso Beach Club — Descanso is Avalon’s only beachside restaurant and bar, and you’ll want to prioritize a stop at its ocean-view patio. Taste test signature appetizers and classic Catalina cocktails from your table or a private cabana.
4	Land & Water Excursions — There’s never a shortage of wild adventures to be had when you stay at Hotel Atwater. Just a short distance from the hotel, guests can partake in zip line tours, sealife safaris, glass bottom boat voyages, and more.

5	Catalina Golf Course — This course is like a dream come true for avid golfers! Not only is it the oldest operating course west of the Mississippi, but this 9-hole course also offers gorgeous views of nearby canyons, beaches, and even the iconic Catalina Casino.
6	Island Spa Catalina — At 15,000 square feet, luxurious Island Spa Catalina features both indoor and outdoor spaces for a totally customizable experience. Book a classic massage and facial, or try something new like a warm oil scalp massage and a sea oxygen facial.
7	Ocean & Mountain Views — What’s a vacation without breathtaking scenery? At Hotel Atwater, most of the guestrooms, suites, and common areas feature stunning views. Whether your room faces the cascading mountains or the cobalt sea, you’re in for a seriously dreamy backdrop.
