Casa del Mar
Classy beach house living in Santa Monica
Occupying a bold spot facing the Pacific Ocean near Santa Monica pier, Casa del Mar is as close to the water as it gets. A homey retreat with high attention to detail, interiors at Casa del Mar reflect a coastal charm (surf lessons and wellness classes on the beach are – of course – always available). At the Cabanas, recline in a cocoon with a craft cocktail, while seafood lovers will happily dine at Catch: a speciality raw and grilled fish restaurant.
