The Pearl Laguna offers 4-day, 5-day, and 7-day wellness retreat programs in Laguna Beach, California. Extended stays of up to 3–4 weeks may also be available for guests looking for a longer wellness reset.

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM on Sunday. For 4-day and 5-day programs, check-out is after lunch on the final day. Guests staying the full 7-day retreat check out at 11:00 AM on Saturday.

Early check-in isn't available, since The Pearl Laguna runs back-to-back retreat weeks and our team needs time to fully prepare the property. If your flight arrives early, we recommend spending time at a local Laguna Beach hotel before arriving at 3:00 PM.

To keep the experience intimate and personalized, we host approximately 8–12 guests per retreat week, allowing individual attention alongside group activities.

Both! We have a wonderful mix of solo travelers, couples, and friend groups, with guests of all ages 18 and up. The program balances personal time with natural opportunities to connect through hiking, yoga, and meals.

The Pearl Laguna welcomes adult guests 18 years and older.

All lengths include the core Pearl Laguna experience. The difference is how much time you have to disconnect and immerse yourself — the full 7-day retreat allows more time for treatments, recovery, and building healthier routines.

No previous experience is required — The Pearl Laguna is designed for beginners through experienced participants. Before arrival we collect your activity level, injuries, and needs so the experience can be adapted to you.

Due to the nature of our daily retreat schedules, the safety requirements of our guest rooms, and local regulation on surrounding hiking trails (which strictly prohibit animals), we maintain a strict no-pet policy. Pets or emotional support animals of any kind are not permitted on the property or during retreat activities.

We welcome fully trained Service Animals as defined by ADA guidelines. To ensure seamless accommodation:

• Certification & Documentation: Valid documentation verifying the animal’s status as a certified service animal must be provided prior to arrival.
• Trail & Activity Limitations: Please be aware that local hiking trails and public land permits strictly prohibit all animals (including service animals) for safety and conservation reasons. Guests traveling with service animals may need to opt out of off-site hiking excursions.
• Room Safety: Service animals must remain under the direct control and supervision of their handler at all times and cannot be left unattended in guest rooms.

Note: Under US federal law/ADA, service animals are trained to perform specific tasks for individuals with disabilities, whereas Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) are not covered under ADA public accommodation laws.

A detailed packing list is provided once your reservation is confirmed. In general, bring comfortable activewear, hiking or walking shoes, a light jacket or layers, a sun hat, a swimsuit, and comfortable clothing for yoga — Laguna Beach temperatures can vary throughout the day.

A small, dedicated team cares for you throughout your stay — your yoga instructor leading morning and evening practice, our culinary team preparing your meals, massage therapists for your included sessions, and a guide for your hikes. With only 8–12 guests each week, you'll get to know the team personally.
