Welcome to Mariven — your seaside sanctuary nestled along one of America’s most beloved coastal stretches. If it’s your first time staying with us, you’re in for a restorative and refreshing experience. But to truly soak in the magic, we’ve gathered a few insider tips from our returning guests and in-house staff that will help you settle in, slow down, and enjoy every wave-kissed moment.

1. Choose the Right Suite for Your Mood
Mariven offers a range of room types, each designed for a different kind of traveler. Looking for ultimate relaxation? The Coastal Garden Suite offers a peaceful retreat with a private patio and morning meditation space. Craving sunsets and luxury? Our Penthouse Suite with its wraparound ocean view balcony and hot tub is a guest favorite. Not sure which is right for you? Our concierge is happy to help.

2. Arrive Early and Explore the Grounds
While check-in starts at 3 PM, we recommend arriving a little earlier. Leave your bags with us and take a stroll around the property — grab a complimentary herbal iced tea from the lounge, peek into the ocean-view library, or head down the private path to the beach. Early guests often get the first pick of activity slots and spa appointments.

3. Book Experiences in Advance
Sunset yoga, beach bonfires, and our popular garden-side brunch fill up quickly, especially during weekends. We suggest booking these experiences a few days before your stay, either online or by calling us directly. Want something truly memorable? Ask about private beach dinners or sunrise paddle boarding excursions.

4. Don’t Miss the Local Favorites Map
Located in the lobby and available via our guest app, the Local Favorites Map features handpicked recommendations from Mariven staff — from secret picnic spots along the cliffs to the best fresh coconut gelato nearby. It’s a great way to explore the area like a local.

5. Unplug, Just a Little
Yes, we have fast Wi-Fi and Smart TVs — but part of the Mariven experience is letting the ocean lull you into a slower rhythm. Try starting your day without screens: take a barefoot walk at sunrise, journal with your toes in the sand, or sip coffee on your balcony in silence. You'll leave more grounded than you arrived.

Whether you’re staying two nights or two weeks, these little touches make a big difference. At Mariven, we believe luxury is less about excess and more about ease. So take a deep breath, settle into your suite, and let the tide set your pace.
