The Ranch at Laguna Beach

Deeply rooted in the local community, The Ranch at Laguna Beach offers an inviting retreat for groups who love being outdoors, appreciate gracious hospitality, and value the chance to spend time in a stunning natural setting.

The AAA Four Diamond Award-winning resort embraces 87 acres of coastal canyons, including nine holes of earth-friendly golf, a 3,000-square-foot spa, 97 guest rooms and suites, and more than 6,000 square feet of dedicated meeting space. It all lies just a five-minute walk — or a short, complimentary shuttle ride — from the sands of Aliso Beach in Laguna Beach, California.

Five new and newly updated meeting rooms welcome groups of 10 to 200 people. The largest room, the versatile Sage Ballroom, measures 3,127 square feet. The even wider selection of outdoor venues ranges from a rustic, recently renovated former scouting camp in a grove of eucalyptus trees to manicured lawns and patios overlooking sheer canyon walls and golf greens.

Private dining events draw on the culinary talent at Harvest, where executive chef Kyle St. John creates California comfort food from locally and ethically sourced ingredients — some from the resort’s own half-acre organic garden. The watchwords authenticity and sustainability apply to every menu, as well as to every aspect of the property, in keeping with the resort’s status as one of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World.
