Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club - A 175-acre coastal retreat with private beach club, championship golf, and award-winning dining

Perched atop a 150-foot seaside bluff, this AAA Five-Diamond Dana Point hotel encompasses newly renovated fireside guest rooms and elegant suites across 175 oceanfront acres. The property features seven distinct dining venues, including Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak and AVEO Table + Bar offering Latin-inspired coastal cuisine. A private Monarch Bay Beach Club provides oceanfront dining and water activities, while the 18-hole Monarch Beach Golf Links, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., offers panoramic ocean views. The Waldorf Astoria Spa provides treatments using 111Skin and Lord Jones CBD products. Guest accommodations range from 535-square-foot rooms with private terraces to 3100-square-foot penthouse suites. The resort operates a complimentary tram service to Salt Creek Beach Park. The Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach sits 21.5 miles from John Wayne Airport and 14.5 miles from Irvine Transportation Center.

Pros

Private fireside terraces with specialty wine box amenities in select rooms

Championship golf course rated among Golf Digest's 'Best Places to Play'

Seven distinct dining venues including a Michael Mina restaurant

Exclusive beach club access with oceanfront bar and restaurant

Cons

21.5 miles distance from nearest airport

Beach access requires tram service

“The proximity to the ocean is certainly a draw, enhanced by a private beach club. While some find elements slightly dated for the price, the location allows convenient access to Dana Point and wellness activities are well-regarded. The dining aims high, with options emphasizing fresh, local ingredients.”
