Terranea (terra-NAY-a) Resort is owned by a joint venture comprised of and managed by affiliates of Lowe Enterprises and JC Resorts and is managed by Destination Hotels & Resorts. Terranea Resort's location in Palos Verdes introduces new generations to a part of Los Angeles that feels worlds away from the dynamic city, and to a beautiful and tranquil setting which is largely unknown.
As visitors round the final coastal bend before Terranea, they are met with a breathtaking sight: an oceanfront resort surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean with Catalina Island across the channel. Embracing the rich Mediterranean heritage of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Terranea Resort's architecture 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 resort lobby and outdoor gardens, to private terraces and inviting courtyards with outdoor fireplaces.
Poised on 102 acres, this luxury eco resort offers 582-rooms, including a luxurious collection of residential bungalows, casitas and villas. The resort also features The Links at Terranea, an award-winning, 9-hole par 3 golf course, the spectacular Spa at Terranea, three ocean view pools and a collection of eight distinctive restaurants, bars, cafés and lounges. Guests often recognize the views from many vantage points, as the property has been the location of dozens of Hollywood films and televisions shows over the years.
