You arrive at the hotel pool as the harbor breathes around you: light traffic on the Embarcadero, gulls calling, and a low swell that rocks the water against the pool edge. Participants lie back on stable paddleboard mats while practitioners move through bowls, gongs, and sympathetic tones that ripple through the surface. The sound and the water trade places—one invites stillness, the other keeps a gentle motion under you.
easy.
1 hour.
Suitable for all fitness levels; basic comfort with being on water helpful
No formal swimming skills are required; you remain on a stable paddleboard mat and staff can place you near the pool edge or provide flotation if needed.
Organizers supply a floating mat, eye mask, and guided sound instruments; bring your own towel and water.
Light, low-impact relaxation is typically fine, but consult your healthcare provider first and inform staff at check-in so they can adjust placement and support.
Standard sessions are shared with limited capacity; contact the hotel or organizer directly for private or group booking options.
The hotel fronts San Diego Bay, an area shaped by indigenous Kumeyaay presence and later maritime trade and naval activity—the waterfront’s working history frames the pool’s bay views.
Support lower-impact hospitality by minimizing single-use plastics, following pool rules, and using reef-safe sunscreen on the nearby bay-facing walkways.
