About 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.

I stayed one night and generally I’m a Marriott or Sheraton member. However, I was pleasantly surprised on how I enjoyed my stay. While the hotel is old and some what dated everything was super clean and comfortable. The view from the 10th floor was beautiful and the staff was professional and dressed very nice. Again when you enter the establishment it seems old but I loved it. I would recommend this hotel to anyone that’s wondering if it’s worth it. Location is good. It’s across the street from the beach.

Hidden gem of a spa with a phenomenal masseuse team. Loved everything about this place. Haluka and Andrea were great.
