Resort of the Week: Fairmont Grand Del Mar

The Fairmont Grand Del Mar’s sprawling 400 acres comprises a property that is both tranquil and invigorating, and expansive yet intimate. The gorgeous Southern California location ensures perfectly temperate weather year-round, and the resort’s golf course, a Tom-Fazio design that winds through the rugged Los Peñasquitos Canyon, provides a stiff challenge from the 7,100-yard back tees. Insider tip: Move up a set for a less bruising experience.

In addition to the superb golf, you can also give your clubs a rest by taking in the serene vistas of Los Peñasquitos Canyon in another way: by hiking or mountain biking. Afterward, treat yourself to a massage at the aptly named Way for Wellbeing Spa and then enjoy a sumptuous meal in one of the resort’s five onsite restaurants.
