Premier Room, 1 Bedroom, Ocean View (Casita)

This casita faces the Pacific and opens onto the coastal landscaping of Terranea Resort. The resort sits on 102 oceanfront acres on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. The casita is reached by exterior corridors, so you arrive outdoors.

The bedroom has one king bed dressed with premium, hypo-allergenic bedding and blackout drapes. The casita sleeps up to three guests. That suits a couple, or a couple with a child. Children of all ages are welcome at Terranea Resort.

Yes. The 1,100 sq. ft. casita has a kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator/freezer, microwave, stovetop and dishwasher. Cookware, dishware and utensils are provided, and there is a dining table. If you would rather not cook, 24-hour room service is available. Resort restaurants include Mar'sel for fine dining, Bashi for sushi and Japanese-inspired dishes, and casual Nelson's.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate shower. It comes with bathrobes, slippers, towels, a hair dryer and complimentary toiletries. Nightly turndown service is included.

A mandatory daily resort fee applies, between $75 and $90 per night depending on accommodation type. It includes Wi-Fi, in-room coffee and tea, nightly turndown, nightly live entertainment, fitness center access, and pool chairs and umbrellas. It also covers Lexus shuttle service to select Palos Verdes locations, weekly guided coastal hikes to Point Vicente Lighthouse, and a falconry meet and greet.

Terranea Resort has four oceanfront pools. The Resort Pool is the family pool, open 8am–8pm, with a 140-foot waterslide running 11am–4pm. Vista Pool is for ages 13 and older. Cielo Point Pool is adults-only (21+), and that rule applies to that pool only. The on-site beach cove is rocky and not suitable for swimming.

The Premier Casita offers more room to spread out than a standard guestroom, with a kitchenette and dining table built into the 1,100 sq. ft. layout. It is also one of the few accommodation types at Terranea where well-mannered dogs are welcome, since pets are permitted to casita accommodations only. Guests wanting additional bedrooms would look to Terranea's larger multi-bedroom casitas, bungalows or villas.

The casita has a flat-screen TV with digital and premium channels plus on-demand pay movies. It also includes free wired internet, on top of the Wi-Fi that comes with the resort's daily resort fee.

Casitas are reached via exterior corridors rather than interior hallways, so you step directly from your door into the resort's gardens and walkways. That ground-level, outdoor-access layout tends to suit guests who prefer not to navigate long indoor corridors, including those traveling with strollers or extra bags.

Yes. The full kitchenette — stovetop, dishwasher, full-sized refrigerator/freezer and dining table — plus backup 24-hour room service make it practical for guests settling in for several nights rather than just passing through. With one king bed and room for three guests, it works well for a couple, or a couple traveling with a child, who want the conveniences of home during an extended visit to Terranea Resort.
