Fairmont Grand Del Mar

Nestled within a 160-hectare estate, the property exudes the stately air of Mediterranean residences where Spanish, Italian, and Moroccan influences once converged. Powder-pink ochre facades, archways, balustrades, and tiled roofs create a setting in perfect harmony with the surrounding wild landscape. Including fine woodwork, ironwork, and calligraphy, distinctive craftsmanship defines interiors that feel like familiar, welcoming living rooms. Guest rooms echo this style with warm tones and offer an interpretation of rural Southern California complete with elegant furnishings and plush textiles. Four swimming pools provide a refreshing touch to the estate, while. The clifftop Addison stages a ten-act culinary opera, in which local ingredients and seasonal flavors capture the very essence of the setting,as guests lose themselves in the panoramic view.

Accommodations

What we like

The panorama

The sweeping view over Los Peñasquitos from the Clubhouse Grill terrace.

The flavour

Caffè e biscotti at Cent'Anni, for that Italian note in the middle of California.

The moment

Spend the afternoon under a two-tone parasol at the pool, a Rielke in hand.
