Profile: Terranea Resort

The establishment of one of the finest oceanfront resorts ever created on the California coast is, in the case of Terranea, a combination of great vision, great skill, and great fortune. The Lowe Destination Development team, in conjunction with Destination Hotels & Resorts, has encountered an environment ideal for the enriching, restorative experience envisioned for Terranea. The crystalline ocean waters of the Pacific. The idyllic Southern California coastal microclimate. Stunning views of the California coast.

However, the most civilized pleasures are within immediate reach. Every element at Terranea is an extension of its setting. Embracing the rich Mediterranean architectural heritage of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Terranea possesses the feel of a carefully tended coastal estate that has evolved naturally over time. A gracious, old-world ambiance permeates the grounds, from the hotel lobby and outdoor gardens, to private terraces and inviting courtyards with outdoor fireplaces. At the same time, places such as the Point Bar express a vibrant and open style.

All of the luxuries and amenities at Terranea have been carefully conceived to reflect what is expected of an internationally renowned resort. But most importantly, all of this—the stunning natural environment, the world-class management and facilities, the design of the buildings and grounds—aims to inspire and renew those who experience Terranea.
