The Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas is slated to debut along San Diego’s North County coastal region in early 2021. As the latest entry into Hyatt’s growing Alila brand portfolio, the forthcoming luxury concept will be the brand’s first new-build resort in the Americas and its second California property. Set against a backdrop of coastal bluffs, the resort will be crafted by locally based Joseph Wong Design Associates and New York firm MARKZEFF will oversee the interior design.
The design will evoke barefoot luxury, echoing the unscripted and vibrant joie de vivre of the surf community. Sixteen suites and two presidential suites will be included among the 130 accommodations—each overlooking the coast or gardens. An oceanfront pool and infinity edge jacuzzi will serve as a key social hub along, along with a signature eatery featuring a rooftop patio. In addition to Spa Alila, the resort will be home to more than 28,500 square feet of indoor-outdoor meeting and event space.
