Fairmont Grand Del Mar  

Perched in San Diego’s Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, this luxury resort sits on a dramatic 400‑acre estate just inland from Del Mar. You’re minutes from Meadows Del Mar Golf Club, Torrey Pines State Reserve and the beach, and about 25 km from downtown San Diego. Pet‑friendly and family‑friendly, it feels like a private Southern California retreat.

A five‑diamond, old‑world Mediterranean estate with 249 rooms that blend classic detailing and modern comfort. Rooms feature minibars, espresso makers, deep soaking tubs with separate showers, bathrobes and 40‑inch TVs. Expect canyon vistas, guided morning hikes, horseback and electric‑bike adventures, plus a Tom Fazio–designed golf course and a world‑class spa across the grounds.

Wake up to San Diego sunshine and canyon air. The property offers a spa, four outdoor pools and four spa tubs, poolside bars, fitness center, yoga area, archery, sauna, steam room and massage services. Family perks include playrooms and babysitting/childcare (surcharge). Complimentary beach shuttle and on‑site parking keep things easy.

Complimentary high‑speed (wired) internet and Wi‑Fi, a 24‑hour business center and 20,000 sq ft of meeting and event space. Meeting rooms and limo/town‑car service make this a solid choice for corporate retreats and upscale events.

Six restaurants and a café serve everything from espresso and casual poolside bites to full fine‑dining. The resort is home to Addison, San Diego’s three‑Michelin‑starred restaurant. You’ll also find multiple bars and lounges, plus 24‑hour room service.
