Beachfront Luxury at an Enchanting Santa Cruz Landmark

Overlooking Santa Cruz’s Main Beach, La Bahia Hotel & Spa reimagines one of the city’s most storied landmarks as a luxurious beachfront retreat. Originally built in 1926, the restored Spanish-Mediterranean property blends enchanting architecture with contemporary design. Guest rooms feature richly layered interiors inspired by seaside travel, while multiple dining venues, private cabanas, and beach butler service round out the experience. The resort’s spa is a holistic retreat inspired by Santa Cruz’s original saltwater bathhouses, offering rejuvenating treatments and a relaxation deck above the sea. The resort is just steps from the sand and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
