Where Awe

Meets Ahh

Discover Alila Marea Beach Resort, Encinitas

Perched atop a stunning seaside bluff along one of Southern California’s most dramatic stretches of coastline, Alila Marea embodies the soul of California beach culture, just steps from six miles of sun-drenched sand and the bustling community of Encinitas.

Please note that beginning February 14, 2025, Alila Marea plans to transition to an adults-only resort, welcoming guests aged 18 and over. This transition allows us to provide a serene and tranquil environment tailored to adult travelers seeking relaxation, exploration and a peaceful stay by the beach. Please contact the hotel directly for more information.
