The Top 2 Hotels in Encinitas
-
A modernist resort perched on a bluff between San Diego and Orange County, Alila Marea marries minimalist California design with the kind of quiet luxury that doesn't need to announce itself. Chef Claudette Zepeda's VAGA serves San Diego cuisine to the sound of waves, while the spa and oceanfront pool frame the experience—coastal comfort stripped to its essentials.
-
A modernist house from 1958 perched above the Encinitas coast, remade into a four-room retreat where each chamber channels one of the four elements through the design philosophy of Rudolf Steiner. Owner Anke Bodack's vision is singular and uncompromising, a place for those seeking something closer to a manifesto than a hotel stay.
