Day 1

Arrival

Carlsbad idyllically sits away from the crowds of large cities—yet is easily accessible. If your attendees are flying into San Diego International Airport (SAN), served by all major airlines and offering nonstop service to more than 70 destinations, Carlsbad is a short 30-minute drive. SAN has rental cars and shuttle services. From John Wayne Airport of Orange County (SNA), which offers nonstop trips from cities nationwide, Carlsbad is less than an hour’s drive. Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)has more nonstop flights than any other airport in California, so if your attendees fly in there, they’ll have an under 2-hour drive to Carlsbad. And if your group arrives via air at Palm Springs International Airport (PSP), Carlsbad is a 2.5-hour drive.

Hotel Check-in

Next, your group will check into one of Carlsbad’s top-notch coastal hotels or resorts with world-class amenities. Our destination has 46 group hotels and resorts—featuring more than 5,000 rooms—to choose from. (Are you planning a meeting in Carlsbad for the first time?
