Encinitas
Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, a luxury boutique hotel on a clifftop just south of South Ponto Beach, opens its doors today.
The 130-room hotel at 2100 N. Coast Highway is the latest addition to Hyatt’s Alila brand, which includes 16 hotels worldwide with a sustainable eco-tourism design ethos. Besides a spa and meeting space for up to 380 guests, the hotel will have a signature restaurant, VAGA, helmed by local celebrity chef Claudette Zepeda. The restaurant’s debut is still several weeks away.
The hotel was developed by JMI Realty and Fenway Capital Advisors with construction by Suffolk Construction. It is the first new-build Alila resort in North or South America, and the third Alila property in the United States. Other California Alila locations are in Napa Valley and Big Sur. Joseph Wong Design Associates was the project architect. JMI Realty CEO Kohn Kratzer said the hotel was a project more than 20 years in the making.

On this episode of our
Scene in San Diego podcast, we talk about the newest project to hit San Diego’s hotel dining scene: Ember & Rye, a restaurant by “Top Chef” alum Richard Blais, at Park Hyatt Aviara in Carlsbad.
Blais joins the conversation to talk about why the new restaurant is making him so nervous and how he’s prepping for the project. The Crack Shack and Juniper & Ivy alum always has a lot of eyes on him and, at the end of the day, he just wants to make good food and “make people happy.”
