The Maya
The Maya is a Latin American–inspired coastal resort set across 14 lush, tropical acres along the Long Beach waterfront, featuring 191 guest rooms and sweeping ocean views in a modern, open-air setting. Located across Queensway Bay from Downtown Long Beach, the property offers a distinctive Southern California escape, accessible by car, seasonal water taxi, or complimentary shuttle to nearby attractions including The Pike Outlets, Shoreline Village, and the Aquarium of the Pacific. Guests can unwind at Playa at The Maya, the city’s largest man-made beach, with real sand, fire pits, lounge seating, and daybeds, or enjoy activities such as biking, paddleboarding, and sailing. The oceanside pool features floating cabanas, a whirlpool, and full-service bar. Dining is anchored by Fuego, a waterfront, beverage-forward coastal lounge offering shareable plates, elevated cocktails, and an expansive patio with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Long Beach skyline, and the historic Queen Mary.
