The Catamaran Spa - Catamaran Resort Hotel

San diego's only beachfront spa.

Located on the shores of sparkling Mission Bay and surrounded by lush tropical gardens, the Catamaran Spa is San Diego’s only beachfront spa. This one-of-a-kind escape inside the beautifully designed Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa offers a full range of South Pacific and Asian-inspired healing traditions and focuses on the use of marine and botanical-based products.

Once inside the spa, guests are welcomed by friendly and attentive staff and can browse a gift shop carrying luxury skin care products, lounge wear, jewelry and lifestyle gifts from local and renowned brands.

A South Pacific-inspired menu of services begins with a collection of massages, from the traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage and muscle-targeting therapeutic practices to ancient healing procedures like reflexology, Japanese shiatsu and Chinese acupressure.

Those seeking improved skin can indulge in a variety of facials, from deep cleansing and detoxing sea mud to anti-gravity facials designed to improve circulation and promote cell renewal. Body exfoliating treatments include nods to the space’s Polynesian influence via the tropical Mango Sugar Scrub and Starfruit Body Scrub. Additional skin care therapies include men’s facials, sunless tanning, waxing and more.

Body wraps are another popular option at the Catamaran Spa and include hydrating Milk and Honey Wraps and energizing Botanical Vitality Wraps. Water therapies include nourishing milk baths, muscle-soothing soaks in seawater and detox sessions via immersion in a blend of Chinese herbs. In addition to treatments designed to relax and heal, the Catamaran Spa offers hair color and styling, special occasion makeup application and nail services including shellac manicures and pedicures.

The Catamaran Spa offers a variety of “rituals,” or spa packages. Inspired by the natural beauty of Fiji, the signature Tropical Catamaran Ritual includes a milk and honey exfoliating scrub and massage and a coconut milk bath for ultimate relaxation and hydration. Other options include the renewing Ancient Oceans Ritual and the ultra-hydrating Guava Anti-Aging Ritual.

Complimentary amenities available to guests include an outdoor heated pool and private whirlpool, relaxation lounge, Vichy showers, beach cabanas, an open-air fitness center with cardio and weight-training equipment, seasonal outdoor yoga classes and more. From the spa and fitness center guests can access the nearby boardwalk for walking and running, and can enjoy bicycle, paddleboard and kayak rentals for a full fitness adventure.

Whatever the purpose of their visit, guests will find complete relaxation and wellness at the Catamaran Spa, named the Best Day Spa 2015 by San Diego CityBeat and Gold Day Spa 2015 by The Beach and Bay Press.

Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa

Immerse Yourself in an Exotic Locale Like No Other in San Diego

For some travelers, a hotel is just a place to rest their heads at night. For others, it’s part of the overall experience. If you’re one of the latter people, Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is the place for you.

But rather than give you just the basics of the hotel, I want to go beyond that and show you just why the Catamaran is like visiting a faraway tropical island without the need to leave San Diego.

I also want to give you ideas for fun and exciting things to do, both at the hotel and near the hotel, that you don’t usually hear about when looking online.

Be sure to also read the comparison article I’ve written - The Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa vs The Dana on Mission Bay - to help you decide whether the Catamaran is the right hotel for you or if The Dana on Mission Bay, an incredible hotel in its own right, might just be a better fit.

A Tropical Hideaway

Designed to look and feel just like a tropical oasis inside and out, this Mission Beach hotel is situated on prime real estate, with Mission Bay on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other. Within its gates and walls, I always feel as if I’m in a tropical hideaway.

When I get the chance to stay, I love to walk around and explore. The Catamaran boasts an authentic Polynesian theme with elegant palm trees rising in its courtyard, tiki torches and lush vegetation surrounding its borders.

A Traditional Healing Experience

The Catamaran Spa is like an oasis within an oasis. Inspired by Asian and South Pacific healing traditions, patrons are privy to innovative treatments they are unlikely unable to find anywhere else.

The menu of services includes full-body exfoliation treatments, massage, water therapy and rituals. Many treatments utilize rejuvenating marine and plant-based products, which only adds to the experience.

In addition to relaxation services, the spa also offers an array of beauty treatments. Guests can stop in for hair care, nail services, makeup application and more before a night out in nearby Downtown San Diego .

The spa also offers a bayfront fitness center that boasts updated cardio and strength training equipment. As a bonus,guests have access to the scheduled yoga classes on the lawn.

Why You Should Consider the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa

The Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is listed as one of our top picks for the Best Family-friendly Hotels in San Diego .

Let me share with you the top four reasons it’s on that list and why I love this hotel so much.

Exotic Wildlife and Scenery

The grounds are stunning with ponds of koi fish, ducks, and other animals. I’m always mesmerized by the large koi pond that goes into the lobby and flows under the glass window to the outside by one of the restaurants.

I also love to talk with the exotic birds who like to converse with guests when I’m relaxing by the poolside or in the hot tub.

Make it an Easy Beach Day

The Catamaran is right on Mission Bay at Sail Bay and just across the street from the beach. There you can surf, play in the waves, sunbathe or just people watch.

San Diego is known for its year-round sunny warm weather and a day at the beach will be simple when you stay at the Catamaran.

Prime Location

You won’t have to spend a minute of extra time getting to restaurants, bars and stores in both Mission Beach and Pacific Beach as all are easily walkable.

Great Restaurants At and Near the Hotel

The Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa is a favorite dining destination of locals and visitors alike, as it offers an inviting atmosphere for all occasions. You can also easily go offsite for a meal.

Onsite Dining Options

Oceana Coastal Kitchen, the resort’s signature restaurant, serves up California-inspired cuisine for lunch and dinner while patrons take in the view of the captivating Mission Bay. At Moray’s, diners can let their hair down and relax while enjoying beer, cocktails and a casual meal over tiki lights or around a firepit.

Nearby Dining

I love La Playa Taco Shop which is along Mission Blvd., maybe a 2 minute walk from the hotel. San Diego has a few taco shops but I honestly think this is the best taco shop in San Diego!

If you are looking for a place to sit and eat with good food and grab a beer, Amplified Kitchen + Beer Garden is a great choice. For this one, you’re looking at a walk of 5 minutes or less.

Todd embraces his inner seafaring spirit in this tour of Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa right on Mission Bay in Mission Beach. This 4-star Polynesian themed resort exudes relaxation from its spa treatments to its koi ponds and its bayfront location.

Nearby Things to Do at and Around The Catamaran

Here are some of my favorite activities to do while at the Catamaran and around the neighborhood.

Things to Do at the Hotel

There are countless activities you can do at the Catamaran, without even having to leave the hotel!

Let’s look at a few things to do directly at or through the hotel.

Bahia Belle Cruises

During the day and early evening hours, the Bahia Belle Mississippi-style boat offers family-hour and cocktails to guests of the Catamaran. After 9:30, it transforms into a nightclub for those 21 and older.

The hotel boasts an arcade, where families can engage in friendly-competition while playing classic games.

Gather for the resort’s bird show featuring colorful and talking macaws and other exotic birds.

The Catamaran’s private beach along the Mission Bay is equipped with first-come-first-served beach chairs and umbrellas on which guests can relax and take in the views.

Pool and Whirlpool

While children make a splash in a palm-tree surrounded pool, adults can unwind in the adjacent whirlpool.

Open-Air Yoga

Master the downward dog and tree poses while taking in the sun and stunning views of Mission Bay.

Movies on the Beach

On Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, The Catamaran puts on a family-friendly film along the beach. Grab a beach chair and some popcorn and settle in.

Kids Keiki Club

Children and guests have a chance to show off their creative side when they join the Keiki Club on Saturdays for Hawaiian-inspired arts and crafts.

Watersports

The resort has two on-property watersport rental companies that offer equipment for a variety of outdoor activities, including biking, paddle boarding, sailing and kayaking.

Things to Do Near the Hotel

The Catamaran is close to many of San Diego’s most popular attractions, including Cabrillo National Monument , SeaWorld San Diego , Old Town San Diego , the Embarcadero , Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo .

However, many guests of the bayside resort find that the nearby outdoor activities hold their interest for the duration of their vacations.

Let’s dive a little deeper into a few of my favorites!

Have a Beach Day

Mission Beach and Pacific Beach are right there when you stay at the Catamaran but there are about 75 more beautiful beaches up and down the coast if you want to explore!

The beach and bay offer a wealth of things to do, including paddle boarding , surfing , cruising, biking, touring on Segways, swimming , scuba diving and more.

Visit the San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo is a world-class attraction I think will be well worth a visit. Home to 100’s of animals, it’s just a short distance away in Balboa Park.

Pre-purchase a Go City San Diego pass using discount code GVSD5OFF for maximum savings.

Go to SeaWorld San Diego

If I can be honest, I recently visited SeaWorld San Diego for the first time in more than 10 years, and I was really impressed! There are countless sea life exhibits, rides for kids and thrill seekers and the food was actually quite good as well.

Best of all, SeaWorld San Diego is also part of the Go City San Diego pass so discounted admission is as easy as grabbing a pass before you arrive.

Spend an Afternoon Exploring Balboa Park

I want to give you one more recommendation of what to do when you stay at the Catamaran and that is visit Balboa Park. There are trails for walking and more than a dozen museums for you to visit as well.

The zoo is there of course and it’s just a great place to take the family for some fresh air, a stroll and perhaps even a picnic!

Show reviews that mention

Pros. The quiet room overlooking the garden. Large plastic trash bag. Good wifi. Close to Bay and Ocean.

Cons. One of our neighbors talked loudly on her phone about 3 am, with her voice carrying into the garden. We closed our patio door and it was okay.

Pros. Location is a 10! Great for a young family. Beach without waves on the bay just out your door and the glorious Pacific Ocean just across the street literally a 2 minute walk. Our family had a wonderful time there. My daughter won't stop talking like a parrot after being fascinated with the birds. Great restaurant also.

Cons. Just needs an updating on the rooms, hall's bathrooms.

Pros. The staff is exceptional; kind, friendly, engaging and exceed our expectations every time! The grounds are kept pristine with the peacefulness you seek while getting away from the hustle and bustle. The ducks, parrots and koi fish make you feel like you're on a tropical island. The food, variety of things to do and the river boat are all unique touches that make us look forward to our next visit before we've even left! Not to mention best pool, Jacuzzi and spa we've ever found! If you haven't been there before, you simply MUST experience The Catamaran! Plus, centrally located to many San Diego hot spots!

Pros. The catamaran is a beautiful tropical property on Mission Bay. There is lush tropical vegetation and a distinct feeling of Hawaii. The restaurant and Bar are close to the water and provide a beautiful and relaxing setting for business or pleasure. The rooms themselves are vintage, meaning that they could use updating.

Cons. Rooms needed updating. No noise insulation from outside, although the other guests were respectful and quiet on a Monday night.

Pros. They have the best beds and pillows! We liked the separate bedroom and living areas with refridge and coffee maker, which was easy to use and enabled me to make my morning oatmeal. Was nice to have a view of the Bay.

Pros. Great location. Friendly Staff, Nice rooms.

Cons. Paid Parking. Most spa functions are at additional costs.

Pros. We had a great time. Daughters wedding was fabulous, every detail was handled beautifully. We had many out of town guest that were as pleased as we were!

Pros. Great value for the money! Lots of local activities to do on the property, and wonderful accommodations throughout. It's a great place to try Stand Up Paddle Boarding for your first time! Rooms are spacious if you get the suite, and we really loved the grounds! It's a tropical paradise! Well maintained! The restaurants are pretty good, we would recommend the Sunday brunch at Oceana! Also, take advantage of the Bahia Belle cruise in the evening hours.

Cons. Unfortunately, when you make a late night request, the staff doesn't come up to your room and bring you whatever you need. Aka, we needed some late night towels and we were told to come down to the front desk (all the way from the tower rooms) and get them ourselves. This has never happened to me, especially at a "4-star" resort. In addition, I have been to many spas in my lifetime, and I felt that their spa treatment was very overpriced for the quality of massage received. Overall, we can't decide if we would come back because the positives were so great, and the negatives were so bad! We are 50/50.

Pros. Beds are comfy, helpful and courteous staff, great location. All was great.

Cons. No complaints.

Pros. Location is great right at the mission bay beach front and the oceana restaurant sits facing the mission bay beach. Staff is friendly at hotel as well as the restaurant.

Cons. Stayed at the tower. While wifi connection was excellent and convenient, the rooms need update. In particular, the air conditioner (heater/cooler) spews out bad odor.
