The Catamaran Spa

The Catamaran Spa, located within the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa on Mission Bay, is San Diego's only beachfront spa. Offering services inspired by South Pacific traditions, the spa uses marine and botanical-based products for relaxing massages, skin care therapies, and body exfoliating treatments and wraps. Guests can also enjoy water therapies, hair care, sunless tanning, waxing, and customizable "rituals" or packages, as well as seasonal specials like guava milk baths and coconut sugar scrubs. The spa's amenities include a relaxation lounge, outdoor pool and whirlpool, beach cabanas, an open-air fitness center, and seasonal outdoor yoga classes. Guests praise the excellent service and warm hospitality, though one reviewer mentioned the music outside the Oceana Restaurant was too loud, making it difficult to communicate.
