Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort and Spa 25135 Park Lantern • Dana Point • California 92629

Just south of Laguna Beach lies a picturesque curve of coastline with white sandy beaches and balmy breezes wafting in from the Pacific. At the tip of this idyllic cove is Dana Point, a historic headland named for 19th-century seafaring adventurer and author Richard Henry Dana, who dubbed it “California’s most romantic spot.”

If a romantic getaway is on your agenda, then you’ll love the Laguna Cliffs, a AAA Four Diamond luxury retreat. The upscale resort’s steeply pitched red-shingled roof and multipaned windows may whisper of Cape Cod, but this fresh interpretation of a New England classic has a decidedly contemporary flair.

The star of the scene is the dramatic panorama, encompassing acres of emerald green parks, a bustling marina, and the boundless blue sea. A dedicated team of professionals ensure that every detail is just the way you envision. Packages come with upgrades such as a “Couple’s Spa Massage.”
