A beautiful California beach resort has been named the best in America, thanks to its stunning views and Michelin-starred food.

Oceanside’s Mission Pacific Beach Resort has taken the top spot in Travel + Leisure’s prestigious reader poll, beating out luxury hotels to become the must-visit destination of 2024.

Opened just three years ago, this seven-story paradise has already caused a stir with its 161 opulent rooms offering breathtaking ocean views.

Plus, it has a Michelin-starred Mexican restaurant, an Instagram-worthy rooftop bar serving craft cocktails at sunset, and an original “Top Gun” house from the 1986 Tom Cruise classic.

Tim Obert, area director of the resort, said The Mercury News“I think everyone was completely surprised,”

“It’s our guests who voted for us, and they’re well-traveled and experienced. They know what great is, so it’s flattering that they were kind enough to take the time to vote for us. We were hoping to do well, but I don’t think any of us expected to be number one.”

But it’s not just America that’s fallen in love with this coastal gem. Mission Pacific Beach has also taken the 11th spot on Travel + Leisure’s Top 100 Hotels in the World for 2024.

This comes after Oceanside spent nearly 25 years trying to develop a luxury waterfront hotel, with four failed attempts before finally making the winning bid.

Despite being open during the Covid pandemic, the resort has seen huge revenues.
