Amidst the stunning landscapes of Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, Carmel Valley, and Torrey Pines lies the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. This peaceful sanctuary offers its guests a picturesque hotel and spa just five miles away from San Diego’s beaches. With a golf course, four pools, a spa, tennis courts, and Michelin-starred dining experiences. 

This past year, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar welcomed the return of their equestrian program, which includes a stunning stable and riding center open to all guests. With over 37 miles of riding trails and one-hour trail tours through the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, the impressive views and wildlife are not to be missed. 

This year also marked the opening of Fairmont Del Mar’s newest poolside dining experience just in time for summer. The Summer Cantina, made in partnership with local eateries Lola 55 and Gelato Paradiso, offers guests a delicious assortment of tacos, gelato, craft cocktails, and more. Inspired by the flavors of Southern California, Fairmont Del Mar’s assortment of dining options all offer five-star service and cuisine accompanied by the natural beauty of the coastal canyon. San Diego’s only Michelin-two-star restaurant, Addison, can be found at the Fairmont Del Mar as well as Amaya, the Clubhouse Grill, and Cent’ Anni Café. 

Comprising 249 guestrooms and suites, accommodations at the Fairmont Del Mar resort feature spacious marble tubs, expansive terraces, and breathtaking views of the golf club and canyon preserve. With an emphasis on spacious outdoor living and elegant European decor, the resort’s two villas offer its guests a refined and indulgent Southern California retreat. Before summer ends, book a visit at the most scenic sanctuary in San Diego. A stay may be booked on the Fairmont website.
