Description

Fairmont Grand Del Mar is a spectacular resort set on 400 acres beside the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, blending nature, elegance, and timeless style. Winding through groves of eucalyptus trees and framed by a dramatic waterfall cascading over volcanic rock, the grounds feel like a secluded canyon sanctuary.

You can choose from 249 rooms, suites, and villas with marble bathrooms, spacious balconies or terraces, and calming views of either manicured gardens, the private Tom Fazio–designed golf course, or the canyon preserve. Adventure and relaxation go hand in hand here: there are guided hikes, yoga and meditation sessions, horseback trail rides, and archery, as well as world-class golf on the resort’s 18-hole course. 

The spa is a true hideaway — a Forbes Five-Star retreat featuring 12 treatment rooms, hydrothermal experiences, a sound therapy suite, saunas, steam rooms, and more. Around the resort, guests lounge by one of four palm-lined pools, explore nature, or gather around fireside lounges. The overall atmosphere is one of relaxed sophistication: classic meets contemporary, and luxury feels natural rather than showy.

Dining Options are:
• Addison by William Bradley — California gastronomy at its finest; the resort’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant 
• Amaya — Casual yet refined Californian cuisine with a focus on seasonal, local ingredients, served indoors or on the garden terrace
• The Clubhouse Grill — Relaxed lunch spot overlooking the golf course, offering sandwiches, salads, fish tacos, and more
• Cent’Anni Café — A gourmet café serving espresso, iced teas, sandwiches, gelato, and fresh salads
• Lobby Lounge — A refined lounge with cocktails, light bites, and cozy seating with canyon views
• Grand Social — An outdoor lounge with live music, bocce courts, wood-fired dishes, and crafted cocktails
