Description: Located in the heart of Del Mar, one of Southern California’s most picturesque coastal villages, this boutique resort offers 120 luxury guest rooms and suites. Rooms are well appointed and inviting; some have fireplaces. Prices range from $355 to $950 for the rooms.As a guest, you may use the Sports Pavilion, featuring the latest in exercise and fitness equipment. You can have a fitness instructor develop and supervise a personal workout plan—or just have the teacher accompany you on a sunrise or sunset walk along the sand or a vigorous trail hike in Torrey Pines State Park. The resort has two tennis courts with a pro available for lessons, and there’s golf nearby. Afterwards you can choose from a tantalizing menu of massages, skin and body treatments, and hair, nail, and facial treatments. The green tea and water lily wrap moisturizes tired skin, and the caviar facial and pearl facial sure smell and feel better than Botox. The spa is open to the public and has half-day packages starting at $150. Overnight spa packages start at $440.
