Thanksgiving at Laguna Cliffs Resort and Spa
On Thanksgiving Day, you can take part in a Turkey Trot; after the race, present your bib to receive a complimentary Pumpkin Spice Latte or any holiday treat. Starting at 9 a.m., you can watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in the comfort of our OverVue Lounge. From 1:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., join us for a Thanksgiving Day Champagne Buffet at Vue Restaurant, featuring live music. For many of us, Thanksgiving isn’t complete without football. Join us in the OverVue Lounge at 1:30 p.m. for the Chargers vs. Cowboys game and at 5:30 p.m. for the Redskins vs. Giants game. Throughout the day, take advantage of outdoor family fun with a number of games and activities, and your kids can enjoy a movie night starting at 7 p.m.
What better way to ease the tension of Black Friday than with a 60-minute serenity massage or a Botanical Balancing Facial at our Spa Oasis. For just $99, you can enjoy a relaxing massage or facial treatment, which has a value of $150.
Christmas at Laguna Cliffs Resort and Spa
We have plenty to offer at the resort to make your Christmas in Dana Point complete and memorable. On select nights, carolers will serenade our guests and friends, and you can bundle up near the fire pit for stories and s’mores. We will screen movies in our Pacific Learning Center with complimentary treats on December 2, 9, 16 and 23. As an added bonus, we will offer hot cider to warm you as you enjoy the festivities.
On December 10, you and your family can have Breakfast with Santa at our Vue Restaurant. During Breakfast with Santa Claus, you can get your picture taken and let him know what you’d like this Christmas. There will also be special activities like movies, arts & crafts and waffle-making.
All December long, our spa will offer a special winter package for two. We also offer special Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals in our Vue Restaurant, and your little ones are sure to love Christmas Eve turn-down service from Santa and Mrs. Claus!
While you’re here, there are plenty of festive sights to explore in the surrounding neighborhood. For instance, check out the beautifully decorated carousel at Santa’s Village & The North Pole. This attraction is at the South Coast Plaza. In nearby Laguna Beach, there is the Winter Fantasy Sawdust Art & Crafts Festival every weekend from mid-November until Christmas. Another favorite Dana Point holiday event is the Annual Boat Parade of Lights where boaters from around Orange County fill the harbor with their decorated sloops. Ask our concierge for more details and directions.
Ring in the New Year
We provide the perfect setting to ring in the new year. Watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean on the final night of the year with a special New Year’s Eve dinner and celebration in our Vue Restaurant. The countdown takes place in the OverVue Lounge, with music played by DJ Halo. There, you can enjoy fresh cocktails, unobstructed views and fireside relaxation around the beautifully appointed fire pit.
When it comes to Dana Point holiday events, we at Laguna Cliffs Resort and Spa wish to create a special, one-of-a-kind holiday experience for you and your family.
