About

Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas occupies the coastal bluffs along North Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas's Leucadia district, a 130-room Hyatt luxury property that opened in March 2021 as one of three Alila-brand resorts in the United States. The room inventory breaks down to 114 guestrooms, nine studio rooms, five one-bedroom suites, and two presidential suites—Ponto and Grandview—all outfitted with stone and reclaimed-wood finishes reflecting the eco-design principles that inform the Alila brand's surf-culture aesthetic along the same Leucadia corridor where Hansen Surfboards has supplied board riders since 1961. Executive Chef Claudette Zepeda, a San Diego native, leads the VAGA restaurant program with a fusion menu sourcing ingredients from the region's agricultural and maritime landscape. Spa Alila draws on locally harvested botanicals and minerals for its treatment menu, incorporating breathwork, sound healing, and astrology consultations alongside conventional bodywork. Complimentary e-bikes, an oceanfront infinity pool, and a 24-hour fitness center with yoga programming round out the resort's activity offerings, a wellness scope that extends off-property to the therapeutic bodywork at Four Moons Spa on South Coast Highway 101. The Grandview Presidential Suite delivers a separate living area, premium bedding with pillowtop mattress and down comforter, and panoramic coastline views stretching from Batiquitos Lagoon south to the Leucadia State Beach bluffs.
