Relaxing suites? Beachfront resort? Exquisite dining? All in the comfort of a California secluded oasis? Check! This is a time to unwind and reconnect.
The Beach
A timeless escape awaits you and your sweetheart along the shores of the Pacific. Discover relaxation and connection on the sugary, soft sands of Mandalay Beach.
Spacious Suites
Our suites may be spacious but were made for intimate moments. From seeing the sunrise with a cup of coffee to enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony while taking in the sunset over the Pacific Ocean, our accommodations make for the sweet escape you came here to experience.
Resort Pool
Centrally located on the resort, our expansive heated pool and hot tub are steps away from the sands of Mandalay Beach. The hot tub and private cabanas allow for the "alone time" you came here for. Needing to fuel up from all that relaxation? Grab some brews and eats from Sugar Beats, or head over to Ox & Ocean — our anything-but-ordinary poolside restaurant and bar.
Activities & Amenities
