Le Petit Pali, Laguna Beach

With a sense of ease and confident charm, the garden is a natural embodiment of the hotel’s ineffable sensibility. A coastal meadow unfolds with a subtropical undertow: marble fountains from Java, coral stone from Florida, native flora of California and South America. Underfoot, fossilized coral stone sets a grid, the one constant in a garden built to feel loose. A collected assortment of pottery spans rich blue French Anduze marked by its classic medallion, ornamental Chinoiserie vessels, crisp white Chinese glaze, warm Italian terracotta, and sculptural French biots in galestro clay, together forming a layer of timeless eccentricity drawn from the coastal moods of Laguna Beach.
