Monarch Beach Resort 

Southern California’s legendary laid-back luxury

This year we’ve decided to celebrate you by offering you an exclusive experience at the Monarch Beach Resort. Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club, formerly known as Monarch Beach Resort, is the perfect blend of Southern California’s legendary laid-back luxury and the iconic culture of True Waldorf Service.

Perched on 175 acres atop a 150-foot seaside bluff and featuring a private beach club, this elegant AAA Five-Diamond retreat offers both indulgence and inspiration—from oceanfront culinary experiences to unique coastal activities and adventures. It’s a place to celebrate our love affair with the beach, passing moments and memories from generation to generation.

In 2006, the award-winning Stonehill Tavern, A Michael Mina Restaurant, opened within the resort to critical and local acclaim. In 2015, The St. Regis Monarch Beach turned to Los Angeles-based Rodrigo Vargas Design to begin a $40 million renovation that would reflect the resort’s pristine coastal setting. The reimagined luxury resort debuted on June 1, 2016 as the Monarch Beach Resort, showcasing a sea-inspired palette of cool blues, greens and crisp whites as well as the first Miraval Life in Balance Spa in California.

Fun fact: California is the birthplace of the internet. In 1969, the first ARPANET message was sent from a UCLA site.
(That first message? “Lo”. He meant to say “Login” but….then the system crashed.)
