We recommend flying in to John Wayne Airport (SNA), which is around a 25-30 minute drive to Laguna.
LAX is another option with lots of direct flights, which will be around a 1-1.5 hour drive from Laguna (depending on traffic - classic California).
We’d recommend renting a car if you’re planning on exploring areas outside of Laguna, but pretty much everything in Laguna is accessible via walking, Uber/Lyft, or taking the trolley that goes up and down PCH!

Stay here if:
You want to be right in the middle of everything. It’s a quick walk to Main Beach and all the shops and restaurants downtown, so you won't really need to worry about Ubers or parking once you arrive (the only event you’ll have to find a ride to is the Welcome Party). It’s perfect if you want to wake up, grab a coffee, and immediately be on the sand.
Stay here if:
You’re looking for something quiet and a bit more tucked away. It’s a small boutique spot that feels very private and intentional, (they actually don’t have TVs in the rooms) so it’s great for anyone who really wants to unplug. It’s stylish and calm, sitting just above Shaw’s Cove.
Stay here if:
You like a place with some history and character. It’s got a really cool Mediterranean feel with lots of outdoor patios and greenery - and a great spa (ask for Pavla). It’s a bit further south on PCH, so it feels like a hidden retreat, but it’s still easy to get around.
Stay here if:
You want the full resort experience and easy access to everything in one place. It’s located on a cliff right above the water, so the views are incredible, and it has direct access to Treasure Island Beach. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a lot of space, big pools, and a spot where you don't really have to leave the grounds.
