Salty Air Retreat

We believe that a destination isn’t just about great views, but the memories that you make amidst them. Although we are biased because our love for San Diego runs deep, we think there are more fun things to do here than you’ll have time for, no matter how long your stay is.

From the beach to the mountains, your inner explorer will have endless opportunity for adventure. There are also a plethora of ways one can “hit the town.” We trust your ability to Google your way to everlasting memories, but here are some of our favorites to get you started:
