ラ・バヒア・ホテル＆スパ

Rooms balance coastal ease with vintage-inspired details like warm woods, arched accents, and soft neutral tones. Fun touches like vibrant floral wallpaper and signature hand-painted headboards nod to the 1960s design influence. Many accommodations frame views of Monterey Bay, while select suites add separate living areas and balconies that feel suited to lingering after a day along the coast.

The California coastal cuisine here features lots of fresh seafood and local produce. Dining ranges from casual beachfront meals at Low Tide Bar & Grill to seafood-focused dinners at High Tide, where seasonal ingredients and Monterey Bay views shape the experience. Pearl serves lighter bites and an evening cocktail in a polished lobby setting, while Plunge keeps things casual with poolside fare near the water.

The spa offers a quieter counterpoint to the busy beach scene, with treatment rooms (four indoor and four outdoor) designed for longer afternoons and restorative downtime. A Zen Deck with panoramic ocean views provides tranquil space for contemplation, while thoughtful spa treatments are inspired by the Monterey Bay ecosystem. Relaxation begins the moment guests get there, with complimentary local sparkling wine served on arrival.

Walk to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk for vintage rides, arcade games, and oceanfront snacks, or spend the afternoon along West Cliff Drive watching surfers and sea lions near the lighthouse. Nearby beaches, coastal trails, and easy day trips to Capitola and Monterey make it simple to stay outdoors throughout the day.
