Salty air and sun-kissed hair means summer has officially made its debut on the bustling shores of Santa Monica Beach. So to help you squeeze out every ounce of relaxation, Shutters is happy to introduce several debuts of its own—from poolside delicacies to beachside accessories.
Here’s what you can look forward to as the ocean breeze whisks past your beach chair this summer:
Ice Cream on a Hot Day
If there’s ever a time to indulge that inner sweet tooth, a beautiful summer day at Shutters is sure to do the trick. Perfectly paired with a savory view over the Pacific, Chef Vittorio’s homemade ice cream sandwiches are now available on the pool deck and are just what’s needed to cool off under the warm California sun. They come in three different flavors—lemon-ginger cookie with strawberry ice cream, chocolate cookie with sea salt caramel ice cream, and toasted almond macaroon with Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream—and one distinct promise: if this doesn’t hit the spot, nothing will. Must be an overnight guest to enjoy these handcrafted dessert delicacies.
Seaside Style
Fashion outlets are scattered all across Santa Monica, including right here at Shutters on the Beach. With a fresh inventory for the season, the hotel gift boutique is the perfect one-stop shop for all your beach wardrobe upgrades from swimwear to accessories. This summer’s hottest additions: Coolibar beach hats, women’s tunic dresses, tops, and wraps featuring upf 50+ sun protection, Panda eye wear, and Vilebrequin men’s swimsuits.
Bronzed by the Beach
Bronze your body into glowing beach shape with a Chocolate Sun tanning treatment at ONE Spa. Nourishing your skin with organically grown botanicals and herbs, pure essential oils, and all natural preservatives, this sunless tanning treatment gives you a natural-looking, sun-kissed color lasting up to seven days—and plenty of turning heads as you strut along the beach.
