Atop a 150-ft oceanfront bluff, this Mediterranean-style luxury hotel offers Pacific views, and is a mile from the Monarch Beach Golf Links.

Soothingly elegant rooms decorated with dark-wood furniture and sea-tone walls and carpets feature Wi-Fi, 42-inch flat-screens and patios or balconies; some also have outdoor fireplaces. Suites come with personal assistants and preferred restaurant seating.

A resort fee covers yoga classes, a beach shuttle, and access to tennis courts and the chic beauty spa's sauna and steam rooms. There's also a steakhouse, an outdoor lounge and an eatery serving Pan-Latin coastal cuisine, plus 2 pools and 2 hot tubs.
