With ocean vistas, stylish accommodations and exceptional dining experiences, this beachfront club is a one-of-a-kind Los Angeles experience. A refined coastal ambiance reflects the club's heritage as a gathering place for visionaries who are committed to making meaningful differences.

The newly refreshed property showcases Spanish-inspired details, plus a dramatic flair. The grounds are open to the public and include a splash pad, playground, Marion Davies Guest House and more.

What to Expect

When it comes to beachside retreats, you want a Beach club Santa Monics whose destination restaurant serves elaborate tasting menus and a concierge that has half the town on speed dial. In easy-breezy Santa Monica, the recently redone Oceana Beach Club delivers all that and then some. It's the embodiment of midcentury seaside chic, with its palette of soothing sea foam greens and cool blues and its details—red lacquer games tables, acid-green couches and groovy 1960s-inspired coffee tables that feature oval cutouts. The best suites have miniature balconies, perfect for soaking in sunset views.

A stay here will leave you close to everything the beach has to offer, including a paved path that runs along the shoreline from just north of Santa Monica Beach all the way to Redondo Beach, about 25 miles in total. Locals and tourists walk, run, bike or skate along it, while people-watching. The further from the pier you get, the less crowded it is, though weekends are still busy.

If you're a seafood lover, The Lobster is one of the city's most beloved restaurants, serving a wide variety of crustaceans and fish from Santa Monica's Pacific Rim waters. This venerable stalwart has been around almost a century and offers an extensive cocktail menu to pair with your seafood. For a heartier meal, there's Bay Cities Italian Deli, the kind of full-fledged deli and market you expect to find in New York or Boston, complete with a selection of sliced meats and cheeses.

Rooms

With a fresh palette of soothing neutrals, bold blues and cerused oak wood ship lap paneling, our 70 striking guest suites are designed to feel like a stylish beach estate. A modern take on California modern style includes hanging glass light installations by Alison Berger, contemporary fire pits and a sleek indoor-outdoor restaurant and bar curated by a notable Santa Monica restaurateur.

Enjoy sweeping views of Santa Monica and the Pacific Ocean from your private patio or balcony. Each room is fully equipped with luxury amenities, including spacious baths and comfortable California king or two queen beds. You can also upgrade your stay to a one-bedroom suite, which offers additional space in the living area, separate bedrooms and terrace.

Our suites are adorned with stunning artwork, custom high-end furnishings and thoughtful details, such as artisanal hand-tufted rugs and four-poster walnut beds. Luxurious touches include Loro Piana linens and Frette bathrobes, a state-of-the-art technology package and Bottega Veneta spa amenities. Each suite is furnished with a curated library of books that will reflect your personal interests and tastes, ensuring a perfectly tailored experience. Rooms overlook the swaying palm trees, outdoor courtyard lounge and pool and the historic Santa Monica Pier. They are within walking distance to the dynamic Third Street Promenade, Main Street, upscale shopping and dining areas of Montana Avenue and the gardens, walkways and ocean panoramas of cliff-top Palisades Park.

Dining

With a light, breezy, coastal sophistication that is a welcome reprieve from L.A.'s often-fussy dining scene, the Beach Club Restaurant is one of the best places to eat in Santa Monica for resort guests and members alike. In the morning, an expansive buffet beckons for breakfast; later in the day, fresh seafood, Mediterranean small plates, and light island fare make for a satisfying lunch. Whether you opt to dine inside the airy and contemporary space or out on the patio, you'll have plenty of opportunities to relax with a glass of wine or signature craft cocktail as you watch the afternoon sky fade into sunset.

Beyond the hotel, you'll find an abundance of destination-worthy restaurants and local neighborhood favorites that showcase a wide range of cuisines in some truly stunning settings. On Main Street, you'll find everything from cozy cafes to upscale restaurants serving up dishes like Aunty Wendy's treviso salad and blistered maitake mushrooms. Further west, Michael's on the Beach is a decades-old icon that helped shape the modern California cuisine movement. Its quaint, upscale setting and beautiful art collection are just as impressive as the seafood platters and fresh salads on the menu.

For a true ocean-side experience, you'll want to check out the Water Grill's Santa Monica location, which features a raw bar that serves up oysters from up and down the coast and a variety of whole fish entrees, like European sea bass or New Zealand pink bream. This upscale seafood restaurant is also home to an extensive wine list and has become a popular spot for Santa Monica locals and visitors seeking a casual but upscale dinner on the beach.
