Summer of 2009, Palos Verdes Peninsula will have its first hotel and a luxury hotel no less. Terranea Resort will have 400 rooms, a spa/fitness center (25,000 square feet), three restauants, three swimming pools, a 9-hole golf course, meeting rooms (63,000 square feet), a wedding venue, an ampitheater, a sand beach, and a bluff-top trail connecting to miles of on and off resort trails. Terranea is being built on 102 acres on the Pacific Ocean where Marineland once stood.
This is big news for the Peninsula where our visitors are currently asked to stay in nearby Torrance or Redondo Beach. Plus – new restaurants are always something we look forward to. There are also 82 Villas/Casitas for sale (32 remaining) on the property.
I am looking forward to walking along the new bluff trails, dining at new restuarants, attending functions at the new resort and perhaps a weekend getaway stay. I am hoping Terranea will offer afternoon high tea for those of us who enjoy that tradition.
Palos Verdes Peninsula won’t be a secret anymore. With its Mediterranean beauty and feel, some travelers may decide to experience our area rather than going all the way to Europe.
