Unplug and unlock your sense of adventure in the San Diego wilderness. With 37 miles of trails accessible from property grounds, outdoor adventure exists for all types of explorers. Bike to cascading waterfalls, hike to historical sites or find your inner archer in the beautiful Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve. For little explorers, the resort hosts hunts to hidden treasure and exotic animal visits at the on-site kids club! If you prefer water over the wild, be sure to book a kayaking or boating excursion along the Del Mar coast.

 

Indulge in Tranquility

A vacation isn’t complete without a little (or a lot) of R&R. Cozy up in a plush bathrobe and breathe in open air from the Center For Wellbeing’s scenic overlook. Aromatic facials clear the mind while blissful massages renew the spirit. Organic clays, handcrafted chocolates and restorative therapies create an immersive escape. Spoil yourself or schedule an award-winning treatment in the couples’ suite. While at the spa, dip in the relaxation pool and enjoy a meditative flow for a complete self-care experience.

Wake up with gourmet espresso at Cent’Anni Cafe, then relax on the flower-filled terrace of Amaya, where kids eat free! Looking for fun? Dance to live music at Del Mar Social Club, and don’t forget to commemorate your stay by visiting Addison, San Diego’s only two-star Michelin restaurant where you can indulge in Chef Bradley’s nine-course menu with wine pairings from around the globe.

Local Insight: Cent’Anni Cafe isn’t just for morning coffee. Pick up a decadent s’mores kit to roast up gooey goodness by the fire pits at night!
