Hotel Casa del Mar, Santa Monica

Reminiscent of the grand villas you’ll find along the Mediterranean, but infused with the beachy vibe of Santa Monica, Hotel Casa del Mar invites you to ‘unwind with style’.

This dreamy oceanfront hotel sits in the heart of Silicon Beach, and was one of the most glamorous spots on the Southern Californian coast when it opened in 1926. 

Today it remains one of California’s most luxurious hideaways. Many of the guestrooms and suites command sweeping views of the Pacific through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. For those seeking the ultimate seaside experience, the property also boasts three extravagant two-storey penthouses. Soothing sea tones and local coastal artwork feature throughout, as well as crisp white linens, four poster walnut beds and hydrothermal massage tubs. 

Days at Casa del Mar are naturally centred around the gorgeous stretch of coastline just beyond its doors. Speak to the beach concierge who will be able to provide you with bikes, surf boards and boogie boards, and on your return, treat yourself to a pampering session in the Sea Wellness Spa. When it comes to dining, you can choose to enjoy your meals in the comfort and privacy of your room or by the sea on the Terrazza Beachside Patio. The hotel’s Executive Chef can also prepare dishes for you to take away to the beach.

  • We have travelled with TUTC six times, the most recent was to New Zealand last year. The trip was very well organised as usual, with excellent accommodation and a wide variety of experiences. We had booked to go to Australia with them this year but due to Covid this was cancelled, Ultimate handled the situation very professionally and promptly refunded the whole of our deposit without any quibble.
