About

When Bettye Vaughen opened the doors to Villa Capri in 1956, she introduced Coronado to a touch of Hollywood glamour wrapped in effortless coastal ease. Set on the grounds of a former Japanese garden, the hotel quickly became a gathering place for visiting Angelenos and local neighbors alike. A place to linger, sip, and feel completely at home.

A neon diving girl welcomed guests at the entrance, a playful nod to the hotel's spirit and a quiet invitation to "just dive in." It was never about formality. It was about comfort, connection, and a sense of belonging.

That spirit lives on today

Perched above The Bower Coronado, DIVE makes its debut as a modern rooftop destination rooted in the same welcoming ethos it was historically known for. Stylish yet unpretentious, DIVE is designed to feel both familiar and elevated. It's a place you come to unwind with a drink — and end up staying for the view, the mouthwatering bites, and the company.

With panoramic views of the Pacific and the Coronado coastline, DIVE is a comfortable spot to gather with friends, discover your new favorite cocktail, and enjoy dishes that feels thoughtful. Inspired by the thoughtful design and welcoming spirit of The Bower Coronado, it sits atop while standing confidently on its own, DIVE is casual and cosmopolitan — a rooftop made for Coronado locals and travelers alike.
