    A member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, Shutters on the Beach is an award-winning establishment with a distinctly discerning clientele. Similar in style to a 1920s or 1930s beach resort, it is light, airy and luxurious with many works of art on show, including pictures by David Hockney and Robert Motherwell. Rooms and suites boast all the comforts of home and are very generous in size with great views of the ocean. Amenities include the gorgeous ONE Spa offering a wide range of signature treatments, including the Signature Facial with Augustinus Bader. There’s also a swimming pool to laze by and a well-equipped fitness centre with sauna and steam rooms. One Pico is the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, showcasing a seasonally changing menu of modern American cuisine. If a more laid-back atmosphere appeals, however, beach-side cafe Coast more than fits the bill and is open from morning until night. For afternoon tea and evening cocktails, look no further than the lobby lounge, a cosy, intimate space that is popular with locals and guests alike.

    Great hotel!! Great location, beautiful rooms and one of the best staff I have ever experienced. Every encounter with a member of the staff was a treat. They were helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. The turn down service was impeccable. Definitely staying there again. Well done Shutters!!

    Stayed here for a night on way home. Very impressed with the location on the beach, friendly and professional staff and good food. It is a 30 min taxi ride from the airport and a super place to spend a day. Room was very comfortable and would definitely return.

    It’s an iconic hotel, Shutters on the Beach - but, if you are planning any type of event, its most important asset is Bruce Hochberger! Mr. H is very knowledgeable and accommodating, even for finicky clientele like me! You won’t find anyone more willing to listen, help and have a “let’s make it work” attitude.

    Absolutely lovely experience here! Kind and friendly people. I had the best time on my vacation. Walking distance to the beach, ocean view rooms. Waking up to the glorious scenery was truly special. I highly recommend this place. Their restaurant with outside patios is a must as well.
