San Diego does not fall the traditional way. While much of the country is crunching leaves under boots and sipping cider against a backdrop of gray skies, here the season feels golden and sun-kissed. The ocean still glitters, palm trees sway, and the horizon blushes at sunset. Yet, the spirit of autumn is alive and thriving especially at Evans Hotels. With the Bahia Resort Hotel, Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa, and The Lodge at Torrey Pines under its wing, Evans Hotels is rolling out a tapestry of seasonal experiences that range from family getaways to chef-driven feasts and festive cruises on the bay.
This year, fall in San Diego is not just about shorter days. It is about longer memories.
Families Find the Magic of Autumn
Evans Hotels knows that fall is a season made for togetherness. That is why kids are welcomed with open arms and complimentary perks. Children can stay and dine free at select properties, a thoughtful touch that makes planning a weekend escape that much easier for parents.
Picture it. A morning stroll by Mission Bay as little ones chase seagulls and collect seashells. An afternoon paddleboard lesson where laughter echoes across the water. Evenings spent watching the sun set from a balcony before cozying up in a spacious suite. These are the kind of simple, pure joys that define a perfect family getaway.
For parents, the bonus is clear no hidden costs, no distractions, just time to connect. Evans Hotels makes it possible for families to embrace fall without compromise.
Cruises Turn the Bay into a Celebration

Mission Bay is enchanting on its own, but when it becomes the stage for a floating Oktoberfest or a Dia de los Muertos celebration, it transforms into something unforgettable.
On October 3, the Oktoberfest cruise will whisk guests into a world of Bavarian cheer, complete with craft brews, hearty bites, and live music that keeps the energy buzzing. Then on October 25, the Halloween and Dia de los Muertos cruise sets sail, where the line between playful spookiness and vibrant tradition blurs beautifully. Expect glowing décor, themed cocktails, and the kind of entertainment that makes you forget you are still in San Diego and not inside a seasonal fairytale.
For couples, the cruises offer a romantic backdrop of city lights. For friends, they are a chance to dress up, toast, and dance across the bay. For families, they are pure magic. Evans Hotels has turned a simple evening cruise into an autumn memory-maker.
Dining Becomes a Seasonal Journey
Food lovers know that fall is the most flavorful season. At the Catamaran’s Oceana Coastal Kitchen, the Chef’s Table experience takes that idea and elevates it. Imagine sitting down to a curated multi-course menu that celebrates the harvest think root vegetables roasted to perfection, seafood kissed with coastal flair, and desserts that lean into indulgence.
Each course is a story on a plate, paired with wines that make flavors sing. It is intimate, elegant, and the perfect reminder that dining can be both art and adventure.
Meanwhile, The Lodge at Torrey Pines continues its reputation as a haven for gourmands with menus that honor local farms and seasonal produce. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Pacific, every meal here feels like a moment of gratitude for autumn’s abundance.
Relaxation Meets Coastal Luxury

While events and dining provide the thrills, the heart of Evans Hotels lies in their ability to create spaces of serenity. The Lodge at Torrey Pines, with its Craftsman architecture and sweeping ocean views, remains the pinnacle of refined relaxation. Its spa treatments and golf course are as legendary as the views themselves.
The Catamaran feels like a tropical hideaway tucked beside Mission Bay, its gardens alive with parrots and koi ponds. The Bahia delivers a classic San Diego coastal vibe, where families gather on sandy shores and every day feels like a beach holiday.
Fall here is not about escaping the cold. It is about leaning into warmth both in climate and in hospitality.
