Leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind and head to Catalina Island for a serene and romantic escape. This idyllic island, just 22 miles from the coast of Los Angeles, offers special packages that include round-trip boat transportation, accommodations, and delightful bonuses such as complimentary champagne, chocolates, spa treatments, sightseeing tours, and breakfast. Prices start as low as $154 per person.
Catalina Island boasts a rich history, having been inhabited for nearly 7,000 years, beginning with the Gabrielino Indians. Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo first visited the island in 1542. Over time, Catalina changed hands several times and is now privately owned.
In the late 1880s, George Shatto, then owner of the island, envisioned transforming Catalina into a top tourist destination. He founded the town of Avalon, now the island's only city and main hub, and developed golf courses and hotels. He encouraged visitors to explore hunting and other outdoor activities.
Today, Catalina Island retains its historical charm, complete with modern amenities. Although it has electricity, water, and phone services, the island collects rainwater, which is purified and supplied to Avalon and Two Harbors.
Catalina, the nearest island to the mainland, is easily accessible and offers a tantalizing selection of activities and events during spring, including:
- Jewels of Avalon Tile Walking Tours
- Earth Day Celebration
- 12th Annual Catalina Island Rugby Festival
- 1st Annual Catalina Island Hoe-Down
- 19th Annual Silent Film Benefit
- Conservancy Summer Naturalist Programs
Avalon's charming Mediterranean ambiance provides the perfect romantic backdrop. Many island hotels feature in-room fireplaces, whirlpool Jacuzzi tubs, private balconies, and ocean views.
