Monarch Beach Resort

Monarch Beach Resort is the premier luxury beachfront resort in Dana Point, a 400-acre clifftop property whose private beach access via a funicular, multiple pools, a Forbes-recognized spa, and direct access to the Monarch Links golf course make it one of the most complete luxury resort programs on the Southern California coast. The property recently completed a comprehensive renovation that elevated the room product and public spaces significantly and positioned it more directly in competition with the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel for the top tier of the Orange County luxury group market. For planners whose groups need a large-scale luxury beachfront resort in Southern California with world-class spa, golf, and the ability to host sizable programs in a genuinely prestigious coastal setting, Monarch Beach is one of the most compelling full-package options on the coast.
