Best Spas in Grossmont

"Why go: If you like the feel of a mid-sized resort with a full-service spa, gorgeous landscaping, and good food, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is for you. It has a hacienda-style which means buildings are no more than two stories tall, and the 210 rooms are scattered throughout the property (though not far from each other). It’s a good place to unwind because it’s very quiet."

"Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is an upscale hacienda-style resort near La Jolla set on 10 acres of lush landscape. Throughout the property, guests are treated to courtyards, meandering garden paths, and outdoor fireplaces. The expansive and scheduled grounds are home to 210 casually elegant guest rooms and suites."

"This Spanish-style luxury resort sits close to the ocean in La Jolla, across from the San Diego UC campus. The accommodations are in low-rise buildings, and some have private balconies and patios. All are beautifully designed with luxurious finishes and amenities."

"The best family-friendly resort in San Diego, sprawling Paradise Point sits on a small island in Mission Bay, wrapped in white sand beaches. The property features 5 heated, outdoor swimming pools (1 for adults only), a private marina with watersports (paddleboards, kayaks, jet skis, sailboats, and more), and plenty of kid-friendly amenities, including firepits for s’mores, complimentary lawn games, a kids’ club, and much more. Spacious rooms, suites, and bungalows sleep families of up to 5, all with private patios or balconies, most with views of the garden, lagoon, or bay."

"Paradise Point Resort & Spa is located on its own 44-acre private island so there is quite a bit to do here including a swim in one of the five pools. The pools are all a bit different. Of course, there’s one especially for adults and a larger family pool with poolside food and drink service."

"If staying in the mix downtown is your vacay of choice, make it an extended weekend by checking in to The Westgate Hotel on a Thursday afternoon to enjoy the Sunset Poolside Jazz Series on the rooftop pool deck. Rise and shine and head to the AquaVie Fitness + Wellness Club, which is adjacent to The Westgate. Incorporating organic skin care and body treatments, its holistic ethos purifies the body and restores balance."

"Starting at 5pm on Fridays, this cosy downtown bakery turns into a craft beer bar with 24 authentic local taps paired with a rotating top of freshly baked donuts. Satisfy midnight craving at this Instagrammable paradise with colorful Homer’s donuts and Big Poppa stuffed with pop tarts. From the drink menu, their most fancy item is definitely the Butterbeer, glazed with butterscotch and served in intriguing Harry Potter themed glasses."

"Even though there’s almost always a line, it’s worth the wait. They offer unique flavors like candied pineapple and peach fritter, but the creme brûlée donut is easily the best, with an oozing custard filling and a perfectly brûléed top."

"I've been looking to try the donuts here for the longest time and Donut Bar did not disappoint!. Delicious donuts, great coffee, and great atmosphere..."

"Little guppies can splash about this fountain found on the lower level at Del Mar Highlands Town Center.
