Paradise Point sits on a private 44-acre island on Mission Bay, with its own sandy shoreline and marina.

  • Island setting: extensive on-site beach and marina; property is reached via resort access (see resort transfer info).

  • Hotel provides concierge and shuttle/transport options for farther destinations (airport shuttle available for a surcharge).
  • Valet parking and a nightly resort fee are listed as optional/mandatory charges in the supplier details.

Choose La Valencia if you want immediate access to La Jolla’s village and the Cove rather than a self-contained resort.

  • Two restaurants including THE MED, plus a coffee shop/cafe and limited room service hours.
  • Poolside bar and two bars/lounges offer drinks and light bites.
