Part of Something Special
“A Hidden Gem” – that is one of the most frequently used phrases our guests use to describe our luxury Laguna Beach resort. But it’s not just the incredible canyon, trees, creek and resort buildings– the true and most important elements of our “Hidden Gem” are the people who work day-in-and -day-out serving our guests and community.

The world of hospitality is incredibly rewarding and unlike anything else, come find out what makes The Ranch at Laguna Beach such a sought-after employer.
About Us
The sun peeks over the verdant canyon walls and awakens this South Laguna Beach hidden gem, quietly tucked into Aliso Canyon just moments from the Pacific Ocean. Its 87 acres have become a place of respite, surrounded by awe-inspiring natural beauty, farm-to-table cuisine at Harvest Restaurant, and the necessary trappings of an elevated resort – 97 cottage inspired rooms, nine sublime fairways, a boutique spa, biodynamic farm and countless amenities and activities. The Ranch at Laguna Beach is a sought after and award-winning destination where guests can disconnect from the frenetic energy of everyday life.
