Laguna Beach cool has a new home at The Ranch at Laguna Beach.  Secluded within a peaceful blend of canyon and sea, our authentic sanctuary invites guests to get caught up in the world of a Laguna local that’s off the beaten path in every sense. Leave the pretention and rules of other resorts behind and step into the warm embrace of a place where everyone is family.

Grafted into the Laguna culture and notched into the perfect convergence of land and sea, a stay at The Ranch at Laguna Beach is a microcosm of the best of Laguna in one organic, refined place. Our staff offers an insider’s take on hidden surf spots, shops and specialty galleries. Laid-back luxury speaks to the Laguna mindset. Nonstop programs, such as our barefoot Friday golf with three clubs, and monthly art gallery tours, all capture the vibe of our unique locale.

Loosely scattered about the park-like grounds with the incomparable setting of Mother Nature’s own magnum opus, our spacious rooms, studio suites, one bedroom suites, and cottages enjoy a seamless dance between casual elegance and the breathtaking 360-degree vistas. Our pristine 87-acre canyon oasis is just a short walk from one of Southern California’s finest beaches, bringing the best of coast and canyon together in one uniquely Laguna experience.

Dining

Come savor the many flavors of a comfortable culinary experience that expands your appreciation of bespoke comfort food, drink and hospitality. HARVEST (opening late Spring) marries the bounty of the season with the atmosphere and creativity of Laguna Beach, inspired by the local flavors, ingredients and traditions of American and California Cuisine.

The restaurant, bar and private dining room pull from the incredible revival of California’s organic farming, ranching, brewing, distilling and oenology. The Harvest venue features outdoor patio seating with incredible golf and canyon views. As homage to the original homesteaders, handcrafted food and drink will be a focus throughout your dining experience. House-smoked hams, bacon and salmon, homemade bitters and grenadine for cocktails. Absolutely everything that we can grow or make on property will be.

Our menu will change with the seasons, as will the techniques used in the cooking and aging of provisions. Grapevines trimmed in the fall will be used to fire winter recipes. Fruit tree wood pruned in the spring will be used to smoke charcuterie for summer. Our barreled cocktails will be aged in preparation of holidays and special events and become anticipated features inviting tradition and history into the experience.

From plates you want to share with your friends to dishes that you’re happy to eat solo at the bar, the food is comforting and recognizable, but created with the foundation and craft of modern day. Channel the nostalgia for things you grew up on, done better than you have ever had and made from scratch.
