Hotel Exterior
Laguna Niguel, California

Situated atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel is in a prime location for activities in and by the water. Learn to surf on Laguna Beach, tour Dana Point Harbor on a stand-up paddleboard, snorkel over the kelp forest, or spend an adrenaline-fueled morning bodyboarding and bodysurfing.

Orlando, Florida

Anglers of any level of expertise can head for one of the The Ritz-Carlton’s 11 private, stocked lakes and ponds for a guided bass fishing expedition, no license required, and return for a restorative massage afterward. The hotel spa draws from the local bounty, with treatments that use herbs from the organic garden, citrus from nearby orchards, and honey from its resident bees.

Puerto Rico

From the coastal cities of Puerto Rico, the sea and ocean beckon the curious, the adventurous and the free-spirited. Venture to surrounding islands with your group aboard a private yacht, admire the architecture of Old San Juan from the water aboard a classic American-style sailboat, or head out on a diving excursion to explore the island's cays from beneath the surface.

Lake Tahoe, California

The expansive freshwater lake at the foot of the Sierra Nevada lures visitors year-round for its bounty of both winter and summer activities. In colder months, choose from exhilarating endeavors like heli-skiing or full-moon hiking. When the weather warms, the lake beckons. Hire a private charter for an afternoon of wake surfing or tubing.
