Imagine checking in on your own private island: 44 acres of tropical gardens, swaying palms, and a mile of sandy beach wrapped around Mission Bay. Paradise Point Resort & Spa is exactly that kind of escape — a full resort island where San Diego feels like a faraway paradise, minutes from downtown.

Set on its own island in Mission Bay, this 4-star resort was made for unwinding: five outdoor pools, a private marina, bonfire pits on the beach, and endless water activities from kayaking to stand-up paddleboarding. The spa adds the perfect touch of pampering.
Getting here is half the fun — you are just minutes from SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and Balboa Park, yet the island feels wonderfully removed. Rooms and bungalows are spread among the gardens, many with lagoon or bay views that make every morning feel like a postcard.
Perfect for families who want pools, beaches, and activities without ever leaving the resort, for couples planning a romantic island getaway, and for anyone who wants the best of both worlds: total relaxation with San Diego’s top attractions just minutes away.
