Terranea Resort Tour: where Tiger Woods stays in Rancho Palos Verdes on California's LA coast
It’s only been a few weeks since our luxurious stay at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, but now we’re back on the California coast to crash at another celebrity favorite, 5-star resort: Terranea. Situated on more than 100 prime acres along the southernmost tip of LA county, Terranea promises to provide endless relaxation, excitement, and a massive roster of experiences in between. We’re using our Inspirato Pass membership to book 5 days in a 2-bedroom villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean, so let’s jump in.
Terranea is an incredibly luxurious oceanfront getaway that stands in a world by itself. You can explore more than 100 awe-inspiring acres of inspirational California coastal setting and an endless supply of panoramic views, incomparable service, and discerning luxury.
Boasting a breathtaking location on the Palos Verdes Peninsula with 270-degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Terranea sets the standard in luxury oceanside travel. Picturesque sunrises and sunsets; the location is second to none—oceanfront and under an hour to the heart of Los Angeles. An extraordinary experience where siting whales and dolphins is just inherent and the memories you depart with are unforgettable.
Relax in a wide range of oceanfront luxury accommodations for the ultimate privacy and exclusivity including suites, villas, bungalows, and casitas. Indulge with a host of luxurious amenities including fine dining, award-winning golf, four swimming pools, boutiques, and adventures on land and at sea. It’s a truly immersive sense of wonder along the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
With sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Terranea Resort serves as a one-of-a-kind oceanfront luxury destination resort on the Southern California coast.
We should acknowledge that every meal we’ve had on this trip—aside from our day on Catalina Island—has been on the Terranea resort grounds. And that’s not because we decided to settle. As major foodies, we were able to find all the restaurant quality and variety we could ever ask for without having to venture into town. The dining program here is fantastic, from French fries to filet mignon—and that’s one great benefit Terranea has over Pelican Hill, which even in summer of 2022 still hadn’t re-opened their best restaurants following covid.
Golf is in Terranea’s DNA and not just because this is the 5-star resort where Tiger Woods was staying—and driving from—the morning of his unfortunate car accident last year. The Links may be a relatively simple 9-hole, par 3 course, but what it lacks in size and difficulty it makes up for in stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. This is a course that you can enjoy at a different level, having fun with friends and a beverage in hand.
