A sense of the place

Why it's in the collection

Because it holds four-star standing and puts the whole coastal day on one property – Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf, a 24-room spa and a beach club on the sand – and we list it at exactly the tier it holds.

  • Opened in 2001 as the St. Regis Monarch Beach, ran independently from 2016, and has been a Waldorf Astoria since January 2021 – 175 acres above Salt Creek and Monarch Bay.
  • Bourbon Steak by Michael Mina, AVEO Table + Bar, the 33 North lobby bar, Sombra Cantina and Club 19.
  • The Monarch Bay Beach Club, in a beach cottage from the mid-1960s, and Monarch Beach Golf Links by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
  • A Waldorf Astoria Spa with 24 treatment rooms, and top-floor penthouses of 1,466 to 3,100 square feet – the Ocean Grand Penthouse and the Waldorf Astoria Penthouse.

The neighborhood

Dana Point & Monarch Beach

The quiet south end – a harbor of whale-watching boats, the surf at Salt Creek Beach, and two resorts sharing the headland above it.

  • Salt Creek Beach and the Monarch Bay shore.
  • Dana Point Harbor and its whale-watching fleet.
  • Laguna Beach village, a short drive north along the coast.
