Coast into Summer at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa on Mission Bay

May 2025

San Diego, CA – The San Diego coast is calling, home to a landmark resort that was made for memorable summer getaways: Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa, Mission Bay’s premier Polynesian-style resort. 

All summer long, resort guests can enjoy deliciously exciting new culinary experiences, sightseeing cruises, restorative wellness activities, and family fun for all ages. The following are some of the top things to do at the Catamaran this summer:

Island Vibes

Discover your “Aloha” at the Catamaran Resort, featuring the electrifying Sunset Luaus on the Baya San Diego summer tradition that takes place Thursdays, June 19 through August 28.  An authentic and unforgettable celebration of Hawaiian food and Polynesian culture, the luaus feature a delicious all-you-can-eat Hawaiian buffet, island music, Pride of Polynesia hula dancers, fiery torch performers, and even a volcano that erupts confetti. All guests receive a lei and tropical Mai Tai, plus an activity bag for kids. 

Guests can enhance their luau experience with Kahuna VIP tickets which include a souvenir cup, welcome appetizer, meet and greet with the performers, and reserved seating close to the stage. 

Additional island-themed activities at the Catamaran include: an exciting Traditions of Polynesia show on Tuesdays, featuring drums, torch lighting and hula dancing on the shores of Mission Bay; a complimentary Keiki Club, featuring Hawaiian-inspired arts and crafts for kids; complimentary Hula Lessons and fresh flower Lei Making (cost $20) by the bay on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a daily Bird Encounter and Bird Show (3 p.m., except Sun. & Wed.), featuring colorful talking parrots – a real-life outdoor enchanted tiki room!

Flavors of the Season

Exploring the culinary scene is a mouthwatering highlight of any San Diego vacation. This summer, seafood fans can dive into Oceana Coastal Kitchen, Catamaran’s signature restaurant, for Sushi Making Classes on Tuesdays. Guests can create their own sushi rolls alongside Oceana’s talented sushi chef. The cost is $30 per person.

Family Fun

The Catamaran Resort caters to families with a vast array of activities during the summer months. Guests can cozy up for outdoor Movies on the Bay every Monday night, an Ice Cream Social and Family Game Night on Wednesdays, Self-guided Scavenger Hunts, and more.
