"Perched on a peninsula in Rancho Palos Verdes and surrounded on three sides by open ocean, the resort unfolds like a Mediterranean village with terracotta roofs, Riviera-style stucco, ornate archways and wrought-iron balconies; its 582 villas, casitas and bungalows offer sunrise and sunset views from private balconies, and Nelson’s restaurant provides laid-back drinks and the occasional dolphin sighting." - Kristin Braswell

The array of dishes on the $195 menu includes porcini truffle risotto with winter black truffles; roasted turkey breast and confit thigh with cornbread stuffing; and a chocolate ganache tart with pomegranate and pistachio gelato." - Eater Staff
"Stopping at Terranea Resort, one of California’s most luxurious resorts where we were greeted like celebrities, the valet insisted the car was parked front and center at the main hotel entrance." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Located on the California coast, this resort offers stunning views, family-friendly activities, and proximity to Southern California attractions." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a special projects editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.

"This rambling resort on the Palos Verdes Peninsula overlooking Catalina Island "feels more Mediterranean than Southern California." "It’s hard to believe a resort as remote as this is only 30 minutes from L.A." The 102-acre estate has bungalows, casitas, and villas with granite countertops, hardwood floors, and vaulted ceilings. "From your room, you can look through the billowy white curtain and watch pods of dolphins swim by." There are eight restaurants; at the casual Nelson’s, take in sunsets and "the best chicken wings and cold beer." Catalina Kitchen offers a "can’t-miss" Friday night seafood buffet. "It’s super family-friendly," and the nine-hole golf course is "a jewel—every hole has a view." Staff seem to "truly enjoy their work environment and treat guests like family." The 50,000-square-foot spa has 25 treatment rooms."
