The property also offers innovative fitness programs such as Boot Camp, which takes full advantage of the property’s hiking trails and beach cove, as well as scenic hikes and bicycle tours. Even the resort’s youngest guests are encouraged to play outdoors through camps and programs geared toward teaching participants about the environment and surrounding natural landscape.
Tying the Knot
As the recent location for popular TV weddings on both Shedding For the Wedding and The Bachelor- Jason & Molly, Terranea Resort is among the hottest choices for places to tie the knot. With a breathtaking setting along one of the most romantic stretches of the southern California coastline, it is no surprise that Terranea Resort is often chosen as a special place to create magical memories. Couples wanting to duplicate the Hollywood magic in their weddings can say I do at any of a handful of picturesque settings at Terranea. The property has several secluded lawns and terraces bordering the Pacific Ocean as well as special event rooms for ten guests or several hundred that take full advantage of the spectacular ocean views. Among the most popular is the Catalina Point Lawn, which is located where the ruggedly exquisite bluff overlooks the cascading waves below. Imprinted in the minds of every couple is the casual elegance and hypnotic California spirit that Terranea and the professional staff exude. Just as couples and guests can’t help but have their breath taken away by the beauty and tranquility of Terranea, so the staff work diligently to infuse a piece of the Terranea spirit into all with whom they have contact.
Environmentally Responsible
Recently named one of the Best Eco-Friendly Hotels in Los Angeles by CBSLosAngeles.com, Terranea Resort was created with the utmost sensitivity to its native environment and a guiding philosophy of ecological sustainability. The resort is dedicated to practices and programs that pay respect to, lessen its footprint on, and protect its invaluable coastal setting. In the development of Terranea, no land was removed from the area and the majority of onsite materials were recycled back into the resort including crushed rock under roads and walkways. Natural bioswale wet ponds were created to treat storm water and run-off and 45 mature trees were preserved and replanted around the property. A few of the resort’s best practices include the use of organic fertilizers on the golf course and other areas, pools treated with salt water instead of chlorine, and gardens and trails landscaped with native plants and flowers. Terranea’s eco-friendly outlook also includes a ‘green’ education for all associates, uniforms made from recycled and natural materials, a full on-site recycling program, the use of biodegradable or reusable products whenever possible such as coffee cups, water bottles and golf tees, and local, organic and seasonal produce and products on all restaurant menus.
