Summer at The Grand

The Magic of Summer at The Grand

Experience the fun of summertime at Fairmont Grand Del Mar, where sun-kissed mornings, leisurely afternoons, and magical evenings await. Nestled within our sprawling 400-acre estate alongside Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, discover a plethora of activities for all ages.

 

Engage in friendly competition on our professional-style tennis and pickleball courts, test your aim with archery, take a golf clinic, or immerse yourself in nature’s splendor on a hike, bike ride, or horseback adventure along our scenic trails. Younger guests will be delighted by Explorer’s Club, along with favorites like the Ocean Slime Lab, Pirate Training, and Swimming with the Mermaids at the family pool overlooking the canyon. Guests can also enjoy a dozen wellness classes at our Movement Studio, designed to restore and recharge.

 

As night falls, venture to Grand Social, our outdoor social hub, where you can mingle, unwind, and create lasting memories. Book a firepit and enjoy lively games of bocce, savor wood-fired cuisine, and sip artisanal cocktails. Be captivated by signature experiences, from Havana Nights and jazz evenings to 80s and 90s revival music. For an elevated dining experience, enjoy dinner at Amaya, featuring locally sourced California cuisine in a stunning setting.
