A HARBORFRONT HAVEN OF QUIET LUXURY
Snug Harbor Inn is a hidden jewel on Catalina Island, a six-room luxury retreat tucked along the waterfront in the heart of Avalon. From the moment you arrive, the pace of the mainland slips away, replaced by sea air, harbor light and the quiet thrill of being somewhere truly special.
Each room is thoughtfully styled in a timeless Cape Cod palette, blending coastal elegance with inviting comfort. Ocean or hillside views frame your stay, offering sun-dappled mornings and softly glowing evenings. Every day begins with a gourmet continental breakfast delivered to your room, inviting you to linger a little longer in the privacy of your own beautiful space. A glass of welcome wine sets the tone for unhurried conversations and the simple pleasure of being together.
Snug Harbor has long been a favorite escape for couples celebrating life’s most meaningful moments. Engagements, anniversaries and romantic getaways unfold here with quiet magic. Over the years, a few well-known guests have also found their way here, drawn by the same promise of privacy, beauty and understated luxury.
Just steps from Avalon’s waterfront, dining and boutiques, Snug Harbor offers the rare feeling of being both wonderfully secluded and perfectly placed, making every stay on Catalina feel effortless, intimate and unforgettable.

Explore Catalina Island
From Snug Harbor Inn, Catalina Island unfolds just beyond your door. The harbor, shops, dining and excursions are all steps away, making it easy to wander, discover and return whenever you like. It is the kind of location that turns every stroll into part of the experience.
Venture inland and the island reveals a quieter, wilder side. Rolling hills, canyons and sweeping ocean views feel worlds away from Avalon, yet they are just a short ride from the inn, offering a beautiful contrast to life by the harbor.
