Shore House at The Del, LXR Hotels & Resorts, San Diego

Morning haze lifts off the Pacific, and the sand turns pearly gold—at Shore House at The Del, you wake to the hush of waves and the faint clang of a distant sailboat mast. 

Tucked within the storied Hotel del Coronado address, this 75-residence beach retreat blends the ease of a coastal villa with the polish of a resort. 

Think breezy living spaces, sun-warmed decks, and a front-row seat to San Diego’s softest sunsets.

What Makes It Special

• Residential-style suites & villas with kitchens and indoor–outdoor lounging.
• Dedicated oceanfront pool deck with cabanas, hot tub, and fire pits steps from the sand.
• Beach valet perks—chairs, umbrellas, and toes-in-the-sand service.
• Californian coastal dining—grilled seafood, citrus, herbs, and sunset cocktails.
• Access to the broader Hotel del Coronado experiences while keeping a private enclave vibe.

A Day at Shore House

Morning

Barefoot walk along Coronado’s broad, glittering beach; pelicans arrow past while your barista pours a oat-milk latte that smells like toast and caramel. Back on your terrace, coastal sage and salt air drift through as you plan the day around the tides.

Afternoon

Claim a cabana on the Shore House pool deck. The water has that sun-slicked shimmer; lunch arrives: Baja shrimp, charred lemon, and a crisp local white. Borrow a cruiser bike, trace the strand, then wander back for a beachside siesta under a striped umbrella.

Evening

Golden hour paints Point Loma rose and copper. You linger over halibut with fennel and citrus while logs crackle in the fire pit and the surf keeps time.

Night

Back in your villa, throw open the balcony doors; the night smells of eucalyptus and sea spray. Fall asleep to waves brushing the shoreline.

Insider Tips for Shore House at The Del, LXR Hotels & Resorts

• Check Beach Conditions: Before swimming, verify the water quality or swim advisory status.
• Shore House gives you access to all Hotel Del pools and the beach club—so you can move around the property for less crowded options.
• Self-park on the opposite side of the property near Coronado Village—it’s cheaper and closer for quick exits.
• Military Aircraft: Expect occasional fighter jets and helicopters overhead—part of the charm (or frustration) of being near Naval Air Station North Island.
• Eat breakfast from the paper menu, not automatically the buffet.
