Santa Cruz Beachfront Accommodation & Resorts

There’s only one place to go when you want to get hot, wet and…sandy. The beach! There’s a strip of oceanside bliss calling your name, and heeding that call might be the easiest thing you’ve done all year. Our beach hotels in Santa Cruz are here to help you turn off the devices and run on solar power instead. Your seaside escape offers more than just a sweet tan—the refreshing power of salty air and sand between your toes will reveal a whole new you.

Find luxurious lodging or a cosy crash pad—you’re sure to spend most of your time on the sand anyway. You can post up in that hammock or cabana all day, but unfortunately, you can’t sleep on the beach. To catch proper Zs, you’ll need Santa Cruz beach accommodation from lastminute.co.nz. Luckily, you can be lulled to sleep by refreshing ocean winds just a few feet from the sand. Trade the sounds of the city or suburbs for quietly crashing waves and the occasional slurp of your tropical beverage. After a long day of soaking up vitamin D and playing in the surf, you’ll be glad you did.

You can catch a breeze and the best deals around with Santa Cruz beach hotels on lastminute.co.nz. Our rates are almost as good-looking as the golden-tanned, beautiful people you’ll see on your beach getaway. Find the best lodging for your lifestyle, pack your sunnies and get set to take that perfect profile pic: framed by powdery sands and sparkling blue water.
