Paradise Point

What Paradise Point does

Paradise Point Resort & Spa is a 44-acre island resort on Mission Bay in San Diego, California, operating on land leased from the City of San Diego. Originally developed in 1962 by movie producer Jack Skirball as 'Vacation Village,' the property was rebranded in the 2000s and is currently owned by Pebblebrook Hotel Trust (a publicly traded REIT) and operated under Davidson Hotels & Resorts. The resort offers 462 bungalow-style accommodations (including 73 suites) distributed across tropical gardens and lagoons, with five heated pools, a full-service marina, water sports, an 18-hole putting course, fitness and wellness amenities, and The Spa at Paradise Point — a Condé Nast Traveler Top 100 U.S. resort spa.

Revenue is generated across four streams: guestroom accommodations (primary, with a $46/room/night amenities fee and $49/night reserved doorstep parking), food and beverage (Tidal, Barefoot Bar & Grill, Tropics Cantina, Island Grinds Coffee, and Food2You in-room delivery), spa and wellness services, and events including weddings (up to 400 guests) and corporate meetings (60,000+ sq ft of event space, one of the largest on Mission Bay). Distribution combines a direct SynXis-powered booking website, phone reservations, third-party OTAs (Expedia, Booking.com), dedicated group/wedding sales teams using RFP platforms (SpeedRFP), and on-property public access for dining and spa serving San Diego locals.

Strategic positioning is anchored by the unique leased island location, six decades of brand heritage, institutional REIT ownership, and a portfolio of industry recognitions (Condé Nast, PCMA, Cvent, The Knot, Surfrider). The resort operates a sustainability program with a 75% landfill diversion rate and a free-stay community program for underserved California youth in cooperation with the California Coastal Commission.
