Stylish yet Comfortable

The rooms and suites of this pet-friendly resort don’t resemble a typical hotel, they are just a little bit ‘more’.

With stylish, comfortable furnishings and the breezy Southern California décor, the rooms invite you to settle in and make yourself right at home. Slip into a plush bathrobe, relax on your veranda, or settle into the luxury linens as you forget about the world outside.

Impressive Event Space

When it’s time to get down to business, the resort makes events of any size easy to plan and smooth sailing. Work with the planning staff to coordinate your meetings, conferences, and team building events.

I think the simplest way to make my next point is ‘just look at the pictures’, the resort, the grounds and the views are picturesque! With indoor and outdoor event space, the resort is therefore a popular spot for weddings both formal and casual.

Whether your reason for travel is personal or work-related, you can find exactly what you are looking for at L’Auberge Del Mar Resort.

Pet-Friendly Accommodations

It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a 4-star resort, but we’re here to offer you a more first-hand personalized account of what the resort is all about. And the fact that the L'Auberge Del Mar Resort is a pet-friendly hotel is a bonus not offered by many high-end luxury resorts.

Perfect for a staycation, the L'Auberge Del Mar Resort is actually one of our top picks in our Best Pet Friendly Hotels in San Diego article.

Our pets are our family and we understand! Visit Dogs Dog Park, an off-leash dog park 2.5 miles north of the hotel that also boasts self-service dog washing facilities, a pet grooming salon, and a pet supply retail store.

Or take a walk to Del Mar Dog Beach, where you and your furry companion can romp around off-leash and play to your heart’s content while enjoying a memorable bonding experience.

Local Tips
In the Heart of Del Mar
L'Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa is located in the heart of the quaint coastal town of Del Mar. It is a perfect get away to relax and enjoy the the sunny San Diego!

What I Love Most About L’Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa

While the list of reasons why I’m a fan of L’Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa is pretty extensive, I’ve picked my top three favorites to share with you. Maybe they’ll become your top favorites too!

Swimming Pool with An Ocean View at Lauberge Del Mar Resort and Spa

Breathtaking Pacific Ocean Views

L'Auberge Del Mar Resort and Spa is a beautiful 4-star hotel in Del Mar with absolutely stunning ocean views. The contemporary design and warm touches are welcoming, but the views from almost anywhere are what really draws me in. It’s just a very stress-free relaxing atmosphere.

Whether I’m on a couple’s trip with my wife or we bring along our kids, we love to take a dip in L’Auberge’s ocean-view pool as the sun starts to set before turning in for the night surrounded by plush bedding and sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep.

Food, Drinks, Shopping & More

To me, one of the best parts about L’Auberge’s location is that it’s located in the heart of downtown Del Mar. That means walking distance to many restaurants, bars, shopping, and everything in between.

Del Mar Plaza is just a short 5-minute walk from the hotel, along with my favorite Stratford Square, a historic landmark in the Village of Olde Del Mar. This area was home to former residents including Jimmy Durante, Desi & Lucy Arnaz, Dick Enburg and Burt Bacharach.

Convenient Beachside Accessibility

I also love that the hotel is walking distance to two beautiful Del Mar beaches: Del Mar South Beach and Powerhouse Park that overlooks the beach.

My family and I like to make a day of the convenient location by picking up some food at a nearby restaurant and having a picnic at one of the many grassy areas of Powerhouse Park. We enjoy the warm ocean breeze and watching the waves crash along the beach and knowing that our room is nearby is a real bonus!

Around the Property

L’Auberge Del Mar has more than enough to keep guests entertained on the property and in the immediate area, both day or night.

Here are a few more of our team’s favorite features of this 4-star, luxury Del Mar hotel!

Take Advantage of Inventive Cocktails & Food

You don’t have to leave the property for fine dining or inventive cocktails!

Make your way to Coastline, the onsite restaurant that features seasonal menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can also sip a mixed drink poolside at Bleu Bar or end your evening with a nightcap in The Living Room, L’Auberge’s indoor bar.

Of course, room service is always an option when you prefer to dine in privacy.

The Spa at Lauberge Del Mar Resort and Spa

Enjoy the Impeccable Amenities

You won’t have to worry about running out of things to do during your visit.

The hotel has a full-service spa, tennis courts, a 24-hour fitness center featuring Peloton bikes, and an outdoor heated pool with an incomparable view of the Pacific Ocean. I personally like to use the private pathway to the beach and check out a bike to explore the village of Del Mar.

The valet is also always happy to assist with chairs and toys on the sand.

A full calendar of daily activities, including live music and congregating around the fire pit, will surely give you plenty to do during your stay.

Out and About in Del Mar

A short walk from the resort is the village of Del Mar, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, and much more!

If you’re traveling with a young family, I’d recommend a visit to LEGOLAND California, or if you want to venture out a bit, I’d recommend Balboa Park where you’ll find acres of trails, more than a dozen museums and the world-famous San Diego Zoo. Secure a Go Visit San Diego pass using savings code GVSD5OFF and enjoy a number of these attractions and more across San Diego, all at a discount!

But if you want to stay close to the hotel, here are four of our team’s favorite popular attractions in and around the neighborhood of Del Mar.

Experience Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Racing

Visiting in the summer or fall? The historic Del Mar Racetrack provides excitement with a little bit of good old-fashioned adult and family-friendly fun with thoroughbred horse racing, stadium seating, trackside dining, and private suites.

Have Some Family Fun at the San Diego County Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds

If you’re lucky enough to visit in June or the first part of July, you won’t be far from the yearly San Diego County Fair.

Think cotton candy, games, rides, performances and more. I take my family each year and I think you would really enjoy it as well.

Shop with a Little Bit of History

Shop ‘til you drop in the village of Del Mar!

Explore Del Mar Plaza’s specialty boutiques, gourmet restaurants, beauty salons, and ocean views. Oh, and did we mention it’s also dog-friendly?

Or you and your family can take a self-guided walking tour of Del Mar Village and learn about the colorful past of the residents who developed this seaside neighborhood in the early 1900s through the strategically placed silver plaques located on its historical buildings.

Visit a Bird Sanctuary: Free Flight

A family-friendly activity my kids love is to visit Del Mar’s Free Flight, an exotic bird sanctuary whose goal is to resocialize and rehome companion parrots and other exotic birds.

Here you and your family can talk to, hold, feed and bond with these exotic birds while helping prepare them mentally, physically, and emotionally for their new forever home.
