San Diego's Premier Destination for Elegant Occasions

Set on 265 acres of lush gardens and rolling hills in North County San Diego, Rancho Bernardo Inn offers a tranquil and luxurious setting for meetings, incentives, and group retreats. The resort features 287 recently renovated guest rooms, each with a private patio or balcony, and thoughtfully appointed with plush linens, custom artwork, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and spa-inspired bathrooms with steam showers and deep soaking tubs. For added privacy and space, guests can opt for private vacation homes with up to four bedrooms.

Rancho Bernardo Inn boasts 100,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space, including the elegant Aragon Ballroom (10,140 sq. ft.), Bernardo Ballroom (5,005 sq. ft.), and Santiago Ballroom (3,612 sq. ft.), as well as mid-sized venues like the Catalina Ballroom (2,180 sq. ft.). Whether hosting an intimate board meeting or a grand event for up to 1,000 guests, the resort’s versatile spaces—enhanced by fireplaces, fountains, and garden views—create a memorable backdrop for any occasion.

Groups can unwind with access to three swimming pools, a 13,000-square-foot full-service spa, and an 18-hole championship golf course designed by William Francis Bell, which has hosted both PGA and LPGA events. Dining experiences include multiple outlets, from casual fare to AVANT, a Forbes Four-Star signature restaurant offering seasonal, wine country–inspired cuisine. The Veranda Fireside Lounge & Restaurant adds a Mediterranean twist to Southern California flavors in a relaxed, scenic setting.

Recognized as a Travel + Leisure World’s Best Resort, Rancho Bernardo Inn is more than a place to stay—it’s a destination where luxury, nature, and hospitality come together to create unforgettable group experiences.
