On the sparkling shores of Mission Bay and just steps from Pacific Beach sits the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa. Trimmed with palm trees, lush vegetation, tiki torches, koi ponds, waterfalls and exotic birds, this tropical Polynesian paradise is the perfect spot for a summertime staycation. Whether you’re soaking up the sun at the beach, riding bikes on the boardwalk, relaxing by the pool or rejuvenating in the hot tub that overlooks the bay, this tropical retreat is sure to set your mind to island time.

With Mission Bay as the resort’s backyard, guests can enjoy a wide range of water activities, such as surfing, paddle boarding, sailing and kayaking. And when you’re ready to venture into the city, Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is just miles away from buzz-worthy attractions such as fun places to eat, drink and shop.

Enclosed by shady palms and lush greenery, the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa’s pool is the ideal place to unwind and catch some rays. The Pool Bar and Grill serves up barbecue favorites like hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken sandwiches. Snag a lounge chair and sip on a craft beer or a Catamaran signature mai tai while the kids splash and play. And remember, calories don’t count on vacation!

Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa’s Oceana Coastal Kitchen offers guests a selection of fresh coastal cuisine. Executive Chef Steven Riemer’s playful interpretation of classic dishes accentuates the robust flavors of California’s local produce and highlights the restaurant’s commitment to sustainability. Grab a table on the restaurant’s beautiful bayfront patio and indulge in a variety of small bites, main dishes and the freshest seafood available from the coast of Baja and the Pacific.

The resort’s luxurious suites include welcoming accommodations, such as 24-hour Wi-Fi and room service, and feature a balcony or patio with breathtaking views of the Mission Bay coastline, the property’s lush tropical gardens or the Pacific Beach neighborhood.
