The Glamour Of Summer At The Fairmont Miramar

Experience the fun of summertime at Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows, where sun-drenched days and cool evenings are steps from the beach. Every weekend, the pool comes alive with our Summer Weekend BBQ Series, featuring rotating chef-driven menus inspired by global flavors, from Mediterranean grills to Baja tacos and elevated American classics. Sip on our new signature Miramar Coconut, a refreshing Mai Tai served straight from the coconut.

The whole family will love The Miramar Beach Picnic, a beautiful seaside picnic just steps from the property, created in partnership with Santa Monica Picnic Co. Afternoons unfold effortlessly over beach games and warm ocean breezes. For the little ones, the fun never stops.

Little chefs will love rolling up their sleeves for hands-on Kids’ Pizza Making Classes every Saturday afternoon in the Potting Shed at FIG Restaurant, where they’ll craft their own personal pizzas from scratch, root beer floats included. Back at the pool, Mermaid Magic awaits every Saturday morning, where storytelling, songs, and shimmering bubbles make for an enchanting start to the day. End the day on a high note at the Lobby Lounge, where Piano Nights Thursday through Saturday fill the room with live music and handcrafted cocktails.

Make memories that last a lifetime this is summer at The Miramar.

What to Do in Santa Monica in Summer 2026

Fairmont Miramar - Resort Pools

From a walk along the sands of Santa Monica Beach to taking in a Pacific sunset in the Miramar Gardens or on the Sunset Terrace, there are endless opportunities to make new summer memories during a stay at the Fairmont Miramar.

For starters, no summer is complete without a day at the pool. Unwind with a good book next to our sparkling outdoor centerpiece or take a dip to cool down under the warm SoCal sun — the choice is yours. (We recommend both.)

You may also head out on a leisurely bike ride along the iconic Strand Beach Path, which winds past the Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. Alternatively, head inland for one of these four hikes near LA to be rewarded with sweeping views of city and sea. (Swing by Dogtown Coffee first to start your day with a little extra fuel for your trek.)

Summer at The Miramar is yours to design. Whether you’re stealing away as a couple or creating memories with the whole family, our seasonal offers pair elevated comfort with exceptional value — so all that’s left to do is arrive and enjoy.

For a different kind of sweat, you may also utilize the state-of-the-art fitness center at Emwell Spa, or sign up for a complimentary barre, cardio, or yoga class. Classes are held at limited capacity for your safety (which also offers the opportunity for more personalized training), and studios are thoroughly sanitized between classes. All you need to do is make a reservation for a class or time in the fitness center.

If you’re craving a more relaxing wellness experience, Emwell Spa also offers a variety of spa treatments, including massage therapies, facials, nail services, and more.

After soaking up the sun in the great outdoors or retreating to our serene spa, enjoy a perfect summer cocktail at our Lobby Lounge, then proceed to an indulgent farm-to-table dinner at our renowned eatery FIG.

Summer at The Miramar is filled with wonder for young guests. Each Saturday morning, Mermaid Magic transforms the pool into an enchanted world of storytelling, songs, and shimmering bubbles, with a chance to swim alongside a real mermaid beneath the Santa Monica sun. Later in the afternoon, budding chefs aged six and up can take over the Potting Shed at FIG for our hands-on Pizza Making Classes, rolling fresh dough, layering their favorite toppings, and finishing the experience with a classic root beer float.
