Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, Top 10 Resort in So Cal by Conde Nast Readers Choice Awards

Winner of the 2025 Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Award for Top 10 So Cal Resorts! Perched atop a stunning coastal bluff along one of Southern California’s most dramatic stretches of coastline, Alila Marea Beach Resort is poised to provide boundless inspiration. Where “Marea” means “tide”, fresh ideas ebb and flow from the Pacific, visible from nearly every spacious guestroom and airy event space. The splendor of the ocean can be seen from Alila Marea’s marquee event settings, but its powerful energy can be felt throughout all 22,000 square feet. Alila Marea offers versatile function spaces for any gathering, from intimate executive meetings and private chef’s table dinners to annual conferences and galas for up to 300 guests. When business adjourns, world-class culinary, restorative wellness experiences, and local outings immerse attendees in California beach culture in an elevated, yet intimately authentic way.
