Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach 

Sample SoCal lifestyle

This large and modern resort hotel in Surf City USA packs in a ton of facilities for an easy-breezy beach break, LA style.

They’ve thought of everything at Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa. Reserve a beach bonfire complete with blankets and s’mores, hire bikes to cycle the ten-mile beach path, take a surf lesson, or have a pool day under the Californian sun – there are even water slides for the kids. For a quieter moment, the hotel has a sprawling spa complex that’s styled on a Spanish estate.

There’s an excellent choice of restaurants. Each has its own vibe, from the refined ocean-view Watertable to the casual Pete’s Sunset Grille and Tower 15 Pizzeria. There’s even a grocery store for picking up on-the-go essentials and weekend snacks are served with ocean views at Shor. If you’re by the pool and water playground Slyder’s Bar and Café near the poolside means you don’t have to venture far for lunch.

Watertable
Open for breakfast and dinner, there's plenty of seasonal and locally sourced produce on the menu here.

Pete's Sunset Grille

Tower 15 Pizzeria

Shor
If you are looking for ocean views as you dine, this is the place to head at the weekend for wraps, burgers and a signature passion fruit mai tai.

Surf City Grocers
A convenient grocery store where you can pick up gourmet items for a day on the beach - don't forget the s'mores kits if you are having an evening bonfire.

During the summer, there's regular weekend live music at Pete's Sunset Grille.

Indulge in a treatment at the Pacific Waters Spa where sea stone massages, coconut scrubs and organic facials are just some of the options on the ocean-inspired menu.

Improve your flexibility with a yoga session or for something more exhilarating join a HIIT workout at a boot camp session on the beach.

There's a packed activity calendar here. The culinary team will show you the art of pairing food and drinks, learn how to swim like a mermaid and in the evening, head to the beach for bonfires and s'mores.

There are two swimming pools, the relaxing lagoon-style Mankota or the fun Slyders Water Playground. Both have cabanas available for rent.

If you are heading to the beach, chairs, umbrellas and towels can be picked up from the Beach Hut.

Families are warmly welcomed here. Depending on when you travel, there may be dive-in movie screenings, sandcastle building competitions and mermaid swimming lessons.
