Welcome to Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, a defining and iconic beachfront resort located in North County, San Diego, just 28 miles north of San Diego International Airport. 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 body surfing, 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. 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.
