Designed with warm textures and breezy indoor-outdoor living in mind, The Mara captures the easy rhythm of the California coast. Explore nearby coves, beaches, and galleries by day, then return to relax after sunset in a setting that feels calm, refined, and distinctly Laguna. With thoughtfully designed rooms and elevated comforts, every stay feels easy, stylish, and close to the best of the coast.
Coastal comfort in its purest form. The Classic Queen offers relaxed accommodations with a queen bed, mini fridge, Keurig coffee station, streaming TV, and curated toiletries.

Laguna Beach is yours to explore from The Mara. Start the morning at Heisler Park, where blufftop trails overlook the Pacific, then wander down to Crescent Bay or Victoria Beach for a swim. Spend the afternoon exploring galleries, boutiques, and cafés in downtown Laguna Beach, all just moments away. By evening, the shoreline becomes the perfect place to catch Laguna’s legendary sunsets. Beach mornings, art-filled afternoons, golden-hour views—you’re right in the middle of it all.

Planning something special by the sea? The Mara offers a memorable setting for gatherings of every kind—from a curated room block for your closest friends to a full-property buyout in Laguna Beach.
