The Sanctuary Beach Resort is an oceanfront Monterey Bay resort and hotel set on 19 acres of Pacific shoreline in Marina, California. A rare Monterey Bay hotel on the beach, The Sanctuary invites guests to fall asleep to the soothing surf from their private waterfront cottage. Nestled between Monterey Bay and the protected Marina Dunes Preserve, The Sanctuary Beach Resort's 60 contemporary cottage guestrooms and suites offer more than just uninterrupted, panoramic views from private decks or patios. Guests can enjoy upscale en-suite amenities, unwind by roaring gas fireplaces on breezy nights, or indulge at our Serenity Spa. Nearby wineries, the sights of Monterey and excursions onto Monterey Bay all await The Sanctuary Beach Resort guests, who can end their day with an oceanside sunset bonfire or at our nightly wine and cheese tasting.
