Within the resort, a vast lagoon pool is exquisitely set against the backdrop of a cascading waterfall. Meanwhile, on the golden shore, the private dock features catamarans, windsurfers and sailboats just waiting for adventure. Snorkelling, scuba diving experiences and kayak tours await you.

With Mexico’s Tijuana, SeaWorld and San Diego Zoo close by, there’s plenty of excitement to be had out of the water too – or simply soothe your senses at the resort spa.

In the evening, your options abound. Watch a breathtaking sunset from the private balcony or terrace of your tastefully appointed room, or enjoy a memorable oceanfront meal of Pacific coast cuisine. Amble through the resort’s beautifully landscaped, palm-tree adorned grounds, or take a four mile run along stunning Mission Bay.
