How do we rate a property?

We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.

From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel

Style:

Rooms:

Setting:

Beach

La Bahia Hotel & Spa weaves Spanish-Mediterranean elegance with the laid-back charm of California’s coast, nestled just steps from the iconic Main Beach of Santa Cruz.

La Bahia brings together a historic sense of place and contemporary coastal design. The restored bell tower, whitewashed walls, and terracotta rooflines evoke the grandeur of a Spanish estate, while interiors strike a balance between beach-casual and refined. Located directly along the waterfront, the hotel is within walking distance of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, wharf, and downtown, but with just enough removed to feel like a retreat of its own.

The guestrooms and suites are as thoughtfully composed as the architecture—many with private balconies or patios overlooking the Pacific. Spanish tile, reclaimed wood, and artisan detailing bring warmth and texture to the rooms, while curated collections of objects and art reflect a worldly point of view. Every accommodation is designed to be a place you can settle into, with the comforts of a private residence and the rhythm of the sea outside your window.

High Tide is the signature restaurant, offering ocean-facing seating and ingredient-driven coastal cuisine. Plunge serves up bold Mexican flavors by the pool, best enjoyed under the sun with a chilled margarita. The lobby bar, Pearl, takes inspiration from the golden age of hotel lounges—think plush interiors, impeccable service, and cocktails that lean classic with a twist. For something more casual, Low Tide Bar & Grill offers a lively, music-forward atmosphere and unfussy comfort food.

The Spa at La Bahia pays homage to Santa Cruz’s original saltwater bathhouses with a tranquil, expansive wellness space that includes four indoor and four outdoor treatment rooms, a vitality pool, and a Zen deck overlooking the ocean. Treatments are rooted in nature and intention—CBD massage, marine stone therapy, reiki, sound healing. The fitness center is well-equipped, and the property hosts a rotating calendar of group classes and guided wellness sessions.

A 5,200-square-foot rooftop deck offers a panoramic setting for events and celebrations. Guests have beach access complete with Beach Butlers and chaise lounges. Complimentary chauffeured transport makes exploring Santa Cruz effortless. At La Bahia, everything flows back to the sea—its rhythm, its calm, its sense of openness. It’s a place that captures the spirit of Santa Cruz while offering something distinctly elevated.
