Terranea Resort is perched quietly and elegantly above the Pacific Ocean. Its setting is absolutely incomparable since it is located on a stretch of land that goes well into the ocean itself. Therefore, all the housing buildings at the Terranea Resort have a 270-degree view of the Pacific, no matter where you choose to stay. The resort is also very conveniently located between two airports, Long Beach and Los Angeles International. Apart from that, you can easily get from Terranea to Hollywood and Disneyland via the highway.

Accommodation

The Terranea Resort is a luxurious hotel, conveniently placed in the Rancho Palos Verdes area. When it comes to hotels in all of the Los Angeles area, there is really none that can compare to the luxury, homeliness, comfort, and location that the Terranea Resort can provide. It has 326 rooms and 34 suites and it lavishly sprawls on more than 100 acres.

Unlike all the others hotels, inns, and resorts in the area, the thing that sets Terranea apart is its natural conditions. It offers a real incursion in nature, with lots of fresh air, hiking trails on the property and a lovely sea breeze.

The resort strives to embrace the history of the area, which began back in 1827 when Don Dolores Sepulveda received the land that we now call Rancho Palos Verdes and started to colonize it. This is the reason why Terranea has a lovely Mediterranean architecture and atmosphere.

In fact, it’s so amazingly beautiful and European that it’s no wonder the resort is preferred by celebrities and movie producers alike. If you stay here, it will be like no other experience in the world. The Terranea Resort has been the backdrop for films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Charlie’s Angels, Lethal Weapon, The Aviator, and Pearl Harbor. Therefore, it is highly likely that, during your stay, you will either witness a movie or TV show being shot and meet its celebrities.
