OVERVIEW of Montage

Perched on a bluff above the mighty Pacific Ocean with the rugged coastline below, the Montage Laguna Beach is a stunning property set on 30 beautifully manicured acres halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego.

The gorgeous lobby has massive floor to ceiling windows that showcase the crashing waves and slender palms lining the rocky coast. Cozy couches dot the Craftsman-style space, and guests can enjoy their libation of choice expertly mixed or poured at the lobby bar while listening to the live piano music drifting through the air. The resort showcases a museum-quality collection of fine art inspired by the Early California Arts and Crafts movement.

THE ROOMS at Montage

Every guest room in this 263 room resort offers a stunning view of the ocean. Upon entering, my room felt bright, airy and immensely comfortable. A plush bed of pure white linens sang a siren song to my travel weary body. The bathroom was massive and the sight of the bathtub made me feel giddy with happiness. Luxe, nearly full sized toiletries smelling of lemon verbena adorned the yellow and white striped bathroom, while a golden glow emanated from the light fixtures at the vast marble sink. It was this bathroom and the balcony overlooking the crashing waves that fought for my attention. The balcony looked out over the Montage’s elegant ocean front infinity pool, as well as one of the resort’s restaurants, perched on a bluff that seemingly arose straight from the cerulean depths. Shades of yellow, blue and white were ever present in the spacious room, replicating the sun, ocean and white sands of Laguna Beach.
