Tracing its nurturing roots back to 1886 when visionary investors dreamed of a sumptuous seaside sanctuary that would be the “talk of the Western world,” Coronado was created for rejuvenation and tranquil retreats.  Cradled between the calm waters of San Diego Bay and the refreshing seascape of the Pacific Ocean, this little slice of paradise is the perfect backdrop for rekindling the soul and pampering the body. 

Today, the enchanted island of Coronado, located a bridge away from downtown San Diego, is home to three luxurious resort spas and several day spas specializing in relaxing, invigorating and imaginative treatments.

RESORT SPAS
• The legendary Hotel del Coronado, located on the Pacific Ocean, was considered the premier vacation and health destination when it opened in 1888. Victorians were drawn to the therapeutic qualities of the sea-swept breezes and beautiful, soul-satisfying aesthetics of its spectacular setting, and The Del still has the power today to restore the mind, body and spirit.

The Spa at The Del, featuring a décor of calming tones, was named after its opening “one of the top 20 hotel spas in the world” by Travel + Leisure Magazine.  This spacious sanctuary features 21 treatment rooms, hydrotherapy tubs, steam rooms and a spectacular private beachfront terrace with vanishing edge pool.

The spa’s signature line of ocean-inspired treatments includes the Shell Coronado Massage, Shell Coronado Facial, Island Sands Body Polish and Goddess of the Sea Body Wrap. New Microdermabrasion and Oxygen Facials are now available as well. For ultimate results, the 80-minute Microderm+Oxygen Facial leaves skin fresh, healthy, youthful and hydrated. The spa’s sweet That’s S’more package features a couples massage, followed by a private bonfire with s’mores and champagne on the beach.

Guests can also find their Zen during relaxing Yoga on the Beach sessions with The Del’s Hatha Yoga instructor.  Tracing its nurturing roots back to 1886 when visionary investors dreamed of a sumptuous seaside sanctuary that would be the “talk of the Western world,”
