In 2003, Montage Laguna Beach opened its doors to guests and locals. To celebrate two decades of ultra-luxury experiences, Montage has partnered with luxury brands, offering special events, collaborations, and packages throughout the year.
The craftsman-style resort in Southern California has teamed up with designers Jimmy Choo and Jonathan Simkhai and artisanal tequila brand Clase Azul to create a limited, exclusive coastal experience.
Toast to 20 years of Montage memories with a pour of Clase Azul Ultra and Montage XX Anniversary Tequila; guests can enjoy it neat or in a special 20th anniversary “Dulce Veinte” cocktail, exclusively at Montage Laguna Beach, Montage Healdsburg, and Montage Los Cabos.
Upgrade your vacation wardrobe with Simkhai’s custom Montage Resort collection. A frequent Montage guest himself, Simkhai is bringing his signature style poolside with a collection of resort swim and sleepwear.
The collection’s custom anniversary print is artfully inspired by the Montage script “M” logo and infused with each property’s signature color. Simkhai then created a unique wave motif to capture the essence of the sun, sea and mountains of the resort’s picturesque locations.
Montage Laguna Beach collaborated with Jimmy Choo to create a glamorous poolside accessory. Styled in natural-toned raffia with fuchsia embroidery, the spacious bag fits everything you may need for a beachside lounge.
The select offerings are available with the resort’s Legendary Laguna Package.
With the Legendary Laguna Package, guests can enjoy five nights in the Catalina Suite with floor-to-ceiling glass doors opening to an expansive balcony with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. The one-of-a-kind offer includes food, beverage, and spa credit, whale watching for two, a private guided tour of Laguna Beach art galleries, and the 20th Anniversary Gift Collection.
The collection includes a bottle of Clase Azul Ultra and Montage XX Anniversary Tequila, a Montage Laguna Beach custom brick building set, and a Jonathan Simkhai Montage resort collection scarf housed in a Jimmy Choo tote.
In addition to exclusive overnight offers, Montage is unveiling first-of-its-kind spa experiences and fan-favorite culinary events.
To celebrate the monumental milestone, Montage is debuting a virtual reality spa treatment, becoming the first spa in the country to integrate this cutting-edge technology into treatments.
Through audio and immersive visual elements, the Natura Bissé Mindful Touch VR experience helps guests focus on their breathing and enter a state of mindfulness while stimulating all five senses.
After a relaxing spa treatment, guests can enjoy the return of the summer culinary popup, Taste of Talay. Food & Wine Mexico’s Best New Chef of 2020, Marc Narongchai, will return to the resort, bringing Talay’s authentic Thai street food and signature cocktails.
Guests can finish the day with a sweet treat at Montage’s interactive s’mores roasting location.
Each resort property has become known for its decadent deserts and creative fixings. This year, Montage is elevating its s’mores game with a completely redesigned cart featuring new toppings like house-made citrus, vanilla marshmallows and double milk chocolate with sea salt caramel chocolate squares.
“20 years ago, our founder, chairman and CEO, Alan Fuerstman, set out to create a new luxury hospitality experience – one that embodied a true sense of spirit and place through recreational pursuits, spa and wellness offerings, remarkable culinary experiences, a genuine welcoming spirit, and a high level of service,” says managing director and area general manager Mary Rogers, in a press release.
Since its opening, Montage Hotels and Resorts have aimed to provide ultra-luxury experiences for the affluent and discerning traveler and homeowner. The artistic collection of hotels, resorts, and residences across the country exudes comfortable elegance, impeccable hospitality, and memorable culinary, spa and lifestyle experiences.
“We are grateful to the local community and our guests, many of whom have been visiting us since we opened our doors in 2003, and look forward to celebrating our anniversary with them and our associates who make Montage such a special place,” says Rogers.
For its 20th anniversary, Montage Laguna Beach is celebrating with style and grace.
