Hotel at a Glance: Hermosa Hotel & Catalina Cottages
Located half a block from the beach on stunning Catalina Island, the historic Hermosa Hotel & Catalina Cottages provides a casual, laid-back setting for exploring the area’s natural beauty. Villa arches and narrow stairways lead to the hotel’s private cottages.

You’ll decide as you head out of Avalon if you’d like to stop by the Airport-In-The-Sky, drive through Catalina’s “wine country,” head to Two Harbors at the other end of the island, or stop at Little Harbor for snorkeling, spearfishing, boogie-boarding, surfing, SUP, disc golf, or mountain biking (transportation and gear provided).
- Round-trip boat transportation via the Catalina Express to Long Beach, San Pedro or Dana Point.

Catalina Island, California: Desert Foliage and Secluded Coves in the Pacific Ocean
The rocky Catalina Island is only about 22 miles southwest of Los Angeles, but it’s a world away from the crowded metropolis. For starters, there are hardly any cars here; golf carts are the preferred way to get around. Much of the island’s interior is unpopulated, home to an array of desert foliage and wildlife. Visitors can hit the many secluded coves that dot the landscape for sunbathing or snorkeling in temperate waters among starfish, sea urchins, and bright-orange garibaldi.
Much of Catalina Island is accessible only by challenging dirt trails, but endemic plants such as the rare Catalina mahogany can be seen at the Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden. The gardens are in Avalon, the island’s only major city. This small village with a backdrop of steep, amphitheater-like hills occupies only about 3% of the island. Still, it’s where most visitors spend the majority of their time, thanks to a popular beach, a lively harbor, and a variety of restaurants.

About Stay at Hermosa Hotel & Catalina Cottages with Adventure Package
Since opening in 1896, Historic Hermosa Hotel & Catalina Cottages has welcomed weary travelers strolling along the ocean while maintaining a commitment to simplicity and nostalgic charm. The main building hosts three levels of Victorian bay windows and balconies, which overlook the island's far-off mountains and tempt patrons to paint sweeping landscapes or blackmail the sun with pictures of it rising late. Villa archways and burnt-sienna steps lead guests upwards to three levels of studio-style cottages shaded by the blossoming limbs of overhanging trees. After settling into cable- and WiFi-equipped rooms, visitors follow the pied-puttering of golf carts to museums, gardens, and local attractions throughout the bayside resort town. The knowledgeable hotel staff organizes adventures such as zipline tours, bike rentals, and snorkeling tours, which allow guests to brush up on languages rarely used when speaking to aquarium-dwelling fish.
