The Resort

One-third sun. One-third sand. One-third fairytale.  Rising from water's edge on the quaint Island of Coronado in San Diego, the Hotel del Coronado is considered one of America's most beautiful resorts.   A classic historic hotel, The Del was built in 1888 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1977. Today, The Del offers travelers every contemporary convenience in an enchanting Victorian atmosphere. It is a combination that moved USA Today to call the The Del "one of the top ten resorts in the world."

For those seeking a romantic getaway, The Del offers a quintessential Southern California resort experience. It's also the perfect family friendly vacation destination, offering abundant recreation options as well as seasonal teen and children's programs.

The Del Spa

When it opened in 1888, the Hotel del Coronado was considered a premier vacation and health destination, where the sea-swept air was both preservative and restorative. Although early visitors certainly appreciated the therapeutic effects of saltwater bathing and fresh sea air, these weren't the seashore's only allure. Victorians were also drawn to the soul-satisfying aesthetics the seascape provided. The Del's unparalleled oceanfront location gave early visitors the chance to enjoy one of nature's most inherently beautiful landscapes: sand, sun and sea.

The Del's state-of-the-art Spa includes 21 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy, relaxation areas for men and women and steam rooms. Opening April 2007, guests will also be able to unwind at the Spa's expansive private terrace overlooking the magnificent Windsor Lawn and the Pacific Ocean at this Coronado spa resort

Spa services include a variety of skincare and massage techniques, full body treatments including body exfoliation, herbal and mineral body wraps and mud therapy, water therapies, foot and eye enhancements. The full-service salon offers hair, nail, skin care and make-up services. And the oceanfront fitness center will help you work out your tension. Treat your teenager to one of The Del's specialty designed spa teen packages such as the Del's Lucky Chic Package, which includes a massage, manicure, pedicure and facial.
