Best Spas in Harbison Canyon

"One of the most popular resorts in San Diego, the Estancia La Jolla Hotel Spa, is known for its serenity, beauty, and romanticized environment. The hotel sits right at the heart of Torrey Pines in La Jolla designed in Rancho-style architecture which is inspired a few hints from Spanish architecture. Sprawling nearby is a lush 10 acres verdant garden and the lovely courtyards together make it look like a mini-Santa Barbara."

"Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is an upscale hacienda-style resort near La Jolla set on 10 acres of lush landscape. Throughout the property, guests are treated to courtyards, meandering garden paths, and outdoor fireplaces. The expansive and scheduled grounds are home to 210 casually elegant guest rooms and suites."

"Many families who need to be near UC San Diego stay at this gorgeous Spanish-style hotel with its stunning gardens, spa, and pool. The dining is also good at Estancia La Jolla and I am a fan of organic margaritas at Mustang y Burros. (Location: UC San Diego/Torrey Pines)"

"Paradise Point is a San Diego resort and spa where it is both beautiful and relaxing to explore as it receives one of their huge variety of pampering services. With beautiful pools and gardens full of natural beauty, you will want to stay at this San Diego spa resort for weeks. Located on an island in Mission Bay, the resort itself spans 44 acres and offers amenities such as a golf course, five pools, bonfire pits, and a marina."

"Only two miles from SeaWorld, this San Diego resort is on its own 44-acre island in Mission Bay with a mile of wide, flat beach. The beach is on the bay, so the waves are calm, and it's great for families. The property isn't new, but the rooms and suites are regularly updated, and all have patios."

"Standing on a lush, private island in Mission Bay, this beautiful resort features a full-service spa and tropical gardens. SeaWorld San Diego is just 5 minutes drive away. A spacious patio, hardwood floors and a marble bathroom are found in each exotic room of Paradise Point Resort & Spa."

"Werewolf is a New American pub in the Gaslamp Quarter that has really upped its food game at prices that are hard to beat for what you get in the area, especially if you go for all-you-can-eat tacos for $9.95 on Tuesdays. The space is dominated by a par that has 33 beer taps and great cocktails. Most of the food is made from scratch and ranges from salads to gourmet sandwiches to hearty breakfasts."

"Werewolf has seating for dining at a mix of booths and high top tables. Some walls are hung with TVs, others with framed portraits; a back wall that glitters gold was assembled by a score of spent bullet shells. Two signature burgers from their other bars’ menus have carried over here, in addition to a couple of favourite appetizers."

"The Fig Tree Café has a trio of locations to satisfy your breakfast cravings. Since it only uses the freshest local produce, eggs from a family-owned ranch in Ramona, and humanely-raised meats, chowing down at Fig Tree might be the most ethical thing you'll do all week. For all of you vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free types, Fig Tree has you more than covered -- though you'll miss out on the joy that is ordering a side of Man Candy: thick bacon with brown sugar and paprika."

"Our famous chain of fish taco restaurants, Rubio’s, has a rather nice dine-in space here with beer and wine options. Ralph Rubio is a La Jollan. Local kids like the kids’ meal with a folded up quesadilla and churro."

"Tuna Dockside Market is a hidden gem - a pop up fish market on the pier between Seaport Village and the USS Midway, more or less, is a fishing pier where the local fishermen bring in their catch every Saturday morning from 8AM to 1PM. Everything here is fresh, there’s no fake prop fish or fresh frozen fish here. If you are on vacation it’s fun to see what the local waters have provided (and if you’re a local you would be wise to bring a cooler) and there’s always a stand there serving up ultra fresh fish tacos, typically two for $13."

"Then there’s world-class shopping right here in La Jolla Village, a 30-block shopping bonanza on and around Prospect Street just above La Jolla’s beaches. Here you’ll find a paradise of apparel, accessories, jewelry, specialty stores, quaint boutiques, and art galleries. The world-famous University Towne Centre (UTC) in La Jolla’s Golden Triangle area on La Jolla Village Drive adds to the shopping fun."
