Southern California gets no more spectacular than it is at Terranea Resort. Perched dramatically on an oceanfront bluff looking over miles of Pacific coastline, this Los Angeles area resort is a veritable gem. More than 100 acres of lushly landscaped grounds welcome you with a distinctively Mediterranean vibe at this Palos Verdes paradise, where accommodations are set in a variety of structures. The main hotel building houses guest rooms and suites with a relaxed modern style, none less than 450 square feet in size, featuring thoughtful amenities like iPod docks, pillow-top beds, private terraces, and views of the landscape and ocean.  At Terranea Resort, life is like a magnificent dream.
