Point Loma makes for an effortlessly laid-back romantic city break. This rocky peninsula, jutting out of San Diego Bay, has everything you need for a chilled-out, hassle-free holiday, from the gourmet restaurants on Shelter Island by the marina, to the art galleries, bustling bars and village market at Liberty Station. There are only two properties on our list, but our pick of the best hotels in Point Loma are, like the area, cool and laid-back and oh-so Californian. The perfect pick for anyone who wants a city break with all the benefits of a seaside location.
For couples
- The Pearl Hotel makes for a chic getaway in Point Loma. This unique, motel-like boutique property is steps away from San Diego Bay and a short drive from the Gaslamp Quarter, making it an excellent stepping stone for exploring the city. The beige and white soundproofed rooms are cosy and intimate, while the rest of the hotel — from the poolside theatre to the leafy terraces to the hip cocktail bar — add to the effortlessly laid-back 1960s Californian vibe it cultivates so well.
- Couples will also love Kona Kai Resort & Spa. Perched on Point Loma, with its own manmade beach, this luxury resort has an award-winning recipe for a romantic seaside escape: al fresco dining, a pampering spa, and two stylish waterside pools. The rooms are smart and stylish with chic colour schemes, exposed wooden rafters, and designer pieces. Hip and sexy, this is a stylish couples' getaway.
