Terranea Resort occupies oceanfront property on the Palos Verdes coast in Rancho Palos Verdes.

  • Immediate oceanfront location with bluff-top trails and nearby coastal parks such as Point Vicente Interpretive Center.
  • Resort is several miles from central Long Beach attractions — suited to guests who expect a self-contained resort experience.
