Alila’s Marea Beach Resort to open in Encinitas in January 2021

Welcome to the Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, a defining and iconic beachfront resort located in North County, San Diego. To the discerning traveler, we are the quintessential Southern California beachfront destination that delivers authentic and one-of-a-kind personalized experiences in a world-class, barefoot luxury setting.

Just 28 miles north of San Diego International Airport, we are fortunate to be central to one of California’s most iconic coastal towns. Both historic and breathtaking, Encinitas is a unique setting among a group of beach enclaves that dot California’s Coast Highway 101. The vibe here is refreshingly unpretentious, artsy and chill, and a place where the local residents take a balanced, holistic approach to the good life. Whether riding the consistent ocean waves, biking along the dramatic coastline, swimming and bodysurfing, practicing yoga, or just relaxing, reflecting, and toasting with a glass of wine, it’s an enviable lifestyle that echoes the essence of our distinctive relaxed luxury experience.

Alila Marea’s guestroom design was inspired by the natural elements of the coastline, featuring wood, stone, and sophisticated lines resulting in a stylish yet understated environment showcasing the amazing coastal views outside nearly every guestroom. With 114 spacious guestrooms, 10 junior suites, four premier suites, and two presidential suites, there is a guestroom for every journey.

True to the pillars of Alila, our restaurant will feature the finest local and sustainably sourced ingredients. The modern cuisine will represent the cultural influences of San Diego and its various landscapes. Our award-winning Executive Chef is a San Diego native and is inspired by the region and the ocean that surrounds the hotel. We also welcome you to say “I Do” to the sound of the waves, toast during an ocean sunset, and dance into the night while enjoying coastal breezes. Or let the energy of the ocean make a positive impact on your next meeting! Our distinct venue options include an ocean-front bluff, open-air terrace, elegant ballroom, and additional versatile function space make Alila Marea the perfect location for all of your events

Infusing the healing and wellness attributes of the ocean, Spa Alila provides tranquility and calm for all that enter. With five naturally appointed treatment rooms, tastefully designed relaxation space, separate mens and women’s steam rooms, and saunas we are ready to help you find your zen.
