Bachelorette Weekend at The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel — May 1–3, 2026 (10 guests)

Day 1 · Fri, May 1
Dana Point / The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

Arrival & Welcome at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel

Morning:

Start your bachelorette weekend with a relaxed arrival and coastal welcome: check in at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel and drop bags before a private beachfront champagne toast on Salt Creek Beach to toast the bride with ocean views. Afterwards, gather the group for a leisurely coastal walk along the Dana Point Harbor promenade, pop into local shops at Ocean Institute's gift boutique for a few keepsakes, and return to the hotel in time for a light poolside brunch on the resort terrace to set a celebratory tone for the day.

Afternoon:

Spend a relaxed afternoon settling in with a private cabana reservation by the resort pool at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, where the group can enjoy curated craft cocktails and a tapas platter delivered poolside. Later, head to an intimate sunset sail departing from Dana Point Harbor aboard a chartered yacht for scenic coastline views, champagne toasts, and a few celebratory photos as the sun drops toward the Pacific.

Evening:

As twilight falls, reserve a private dining room at RAYA for a lively group dinner featuring coastal Latin-inspired dishes and shareable plates paired with a bespoke cocktail flight to celebrate the bride. After dinner, stroll down to The Ritz-Carlton's Pacific Terrace for an intimate beach bonfire with s'mores kits and a live acoustic guitarist, then finish the night with rooftop after-dinner drinks at Ritz-Carlton Bar & Lounge for relaxed conversation and ocean-view nightcaps.

Day 2 · Sat, May 2
Dana Point / Laguna Beach area

Beach Day, Spa & Group Activities

Morning:

Begin the day with a private morning surf lesson for the group at Salt Creek Beach State Park followed by beachside yoga led by a local instructor on the sand to gently wake up and stretch. Afterward, stroll over to The Cliff Restaurant for a celebratory seaside brunch on their terrace with shareable plates and mimosas, then head back to the resort for a mid-morning pampering session-book a group aromatherapy manicure at Ritz-Carlton Spa to prime everyone for the afternoon adventures.

Afternoon:

After your midday mani session, head up the coast for a private beachfront picnic setup at Dana Point Headlands Conservation Area, complete with a gourmet spread from A Market and a portable speaker for celebratory playlists while you lounge on blankets and lawn games. Later, caravan to Heisler Park in Laguna Beach for a guided tidepool walk with a local naturalist, then sip rosé at the clifftop Driftwood Kitchen patio as the group watches surfers and plans the evening's dinner.

Evening:

As the sun sets, enjoy a lively dinner at Selanne Steak Tavern in nearby Laguna Beach, where private dining options and a celebratory wine pairing make it perfect for a ten-person bachelorette party. After dinner, hop over to The Deck on Laguna Beach for oceanfront cocktails on the terrace, then head back to the resort for a late-night private mixology session in a reserved suite at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel-a fun way toasting the bride with custom cocktails and a playlist of favorites before turning in.

Brunch, Farewells & Departure

Morning:

Ease into your final day with a leisurely seaside brunch at The Loft at Montage Laguna Beach, where shareable plates and bottomless mimosas set a celebratory tone while you swap highlights from the weekend. After brunch, take a private guided coastal walk through Crystal Cove State Park for one last group photo session among tidepools and historic cottages, then return to the hotel for a calm check-out routine and luggage storage while enjoying farewell coffee and light bites at Ritz-Carlton's La Venta Café before departures.

Afternoon:

For a relaxed final afternoon, arrange a private seaside trolley to Dana Point Harbor where the group can enjoy a light lunch at Harbor Grill and browse artisan stalls for last-minute mementos. Afterward, take a short chartered whale-watching cruise from Catalina Express/Dana Point Harbor dock for one last Pacific outing-sip sparkling water, snap farewell photos, and return in time for a casual goodbye tea and luggage pickup at La Venta Café before departures.

Evening:

For a relaxed, celebratory send-off, reserve a private coastal cabana at Shorebreak Laguna Beach for an intimate final cocktail hour with curated small bites and a champagne toast as the sun dips. Afterward, head to The Rooftop at The Ranch Laguna Beach for a final group dinner with California coastal cuisine and a personalized dessert platter to share, then finish the night with a short stroll back to the resort and a quiet nightcap on the Ritz-Carlton's ocean-facing terrace to swap favorite weekend memories before departures.
