Water Conservation
Fairmont Grand Del Mar is committed to water conservation and preserving this precious resource. Simple actions like reducing water waste, using efficient fixtures, and mindful consumption make a big impact. By protecting and conserving water, we help ensure its availability for future generations and the environment.
The Golf Course irrigation system uses reclaimed water, which is treated and repurposed to water the land. Additionally, wireless sensors installed at each hole monitor moisture and salinity levels, ensuring water is used only when necessary. For more details, visit www.getgroundworx.com.
We’ve replaced 2,500 sprinklers with a product that reduces water consumption. Fairmont Grand Del Mar has also upgraded guest room shower heads, saving 2.85 million gallons of water annually.

Honey Bees at The Grand
Meet our bees. The Grand Del Mar has rescued over 120,000 bees. Bees are the most effective pollinators on earth, but the loss and fragmentation of habitat leaves hundreds of thousands of bees without space to nest and reproduce. The creation of new habitats, or bee hotels, is incredibly important to ensuring the sustainability of the species. Our special residents live near the 4th hole of the golf course. Our bees produce a natural, raw honey which we use in our restaurants and for amenities throughout the resort.
Reducing the San Diego and Southern California Landfill
The agronomy team recycles green waste, and a chipper processes fallen trees into mulch, reducing landfill waste by over 500 cubic yards annually. By eliminating single use plastic throughout the resort, a water filtration system in guest rooms saves 268,000 plastic bottles, while large-format bath amenities eliminate 135,000 small bottles each year.
Protecting the nature around us
Fairmont Grand Del Mar is surrounded by protected native plants. No work is done from April to October to protect the Gnatcatcher bird. Creeks and a containment lake on the grounds form riparian habitats, reducing runoff and supporting local wildlife.
Innovation
Our fleet of energy-efficient, lithium-battery golf carts, reduce energy costs by $7,000 annually. The resort also uses a bottle-crushing machine to repurpose glass into sand for the golf bunkers. Looking ahead, a pollinator garden will be planted.
