Dining

Secret Garden Inn is located behind Coya, an on-site Peruvian restaurant that serves a specialty breakfast included with each stay. Guests can order from a menu of Peruvian dishes, such as causa and lomo saltado, for breakfast and dinner. The inn also provides a self-serve coffee bar with organic coffee and wine glasses.

Rooms

Each of the limited number of rooms is individually decorated with Asian-inspired design and eclectic furnishings, including imported antiques and mosaic tile. The penthouse suite offers a private balcony with partial ocean views, a kitchenette with a fridge, and a separate bedroom. Some rooms feature a bathtub inside the bedroom with a shower curtain, while all rooms include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with a bath and hairdryer.

Location

The inn is less than 1 km from Powerhouse Park Beach and Del Mar City Beach, both within a short walk. Guests can walk to dozens of restaurants, shops, and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which is minutes away. Torrey Pines State Reserve is 4.6 km from the property, and La Jolla Cove is 16 km south.

Amenities & Service

Free parking and complimentary Wi-Fi are included for all guests, along with access to an outdoor space with a hot tub and BBQ facilities. Professional management provides personalized guest services, though there is no on-site reception; check-in is handled at a sister hotel down the road. The property is entirely non-smoking and secured with key access and smoke alarms.

Activities & Experiences

Guests can walk to the beach for swimming, sunbathing, or snorkeling, with snorkeling equipment available nearby. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club offers horse racing during the summer season, a 5-minute drive from the inn. For golfers, several courses are within a 10-minute drive, including Torrey Pines Golf Course.

Highlights

Dining: Coya Peruvian restaurant with included specialty breakfast

Rooms: Individually decorated Asian-inspired rooms with balconies

Location: 1 km from Powerhouse Park Beach & Del Mar shops

Amenities: Hot tub, BBQ facilities, free parking

Nearby: Del Mar Thoroughbred Club & Torrey Pines Reserve

“The artsy, boho rooms here are a real breath of fresh air, clean and thoughtfully designed. Breakfast stands out, a genuinely delicious start to the day, and the staff contribute heartily to the welcoming atmosphere. Its proximity to numerous restaurants and shops is undeniably convenient, and the unexpected perk of covered parking felt like a well-kept secret.”
