Terranea Resort
The Vibe: SoCal's great escape
The Location: Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Instaworthy Accommodations:
There's a version of this trip where you barely leave the property—and at Terranea Resort that's a genuinely defensible call. This Mediterranean-inspired 102-acre oceanfront resort occupies a breathtaking stretch of Palos Verdes coastline. Rooms and suites have private balconies facing the Pacific or Catalina Island, while casitas and villas come with full kitchens and separate living areas for longer stays. The 50,000-square-foot spa handles serious decompression, and four pools (one with a 140-foot waterslide) keep kids entertained all day long. Guests are invited to try coastal hikes, kayaking, archery, and more. And don’t forget: Nelson's cliffside bar at sunset is a non-negotiable.
