Hyatt Signs First New-Build Alila Resort in the Americas

Hyatt has signed its first new-build Alila resort in the Americas.

Located in Encinitas, Calif., a quintessential beach town in San Diego’s North County Coastal region, the Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas will be developed by JMI Realty and Fenway Capital Advisors.

The resort, which will be designed by San Diego-based Joseph Wong Design Associates with interior design by Mark Zeff Associates, will be Hyatt’s second Alila in the U.S. and 14th worldwide.

“We are thrilled to announce the development of the first new-build Alila resort in the Americas, marking a significant milestone for Hyatt. California’s legendary coastline has long captured the hearts of our guests, World of Hyatt members and customers, and we’re excited to continue to expand in California with this landmark oceanfront project,” said Susan Santiago, Global Head of Lifestyle and Miraval Operations at Hyatt. “The Alila brand has long been a leader in crafted luxury and responsible tourism, and Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas will embody that same ethos when it debuts in Southern California.”

Situated along coastal bluffs and overlooking Grandview and South Ponto Beaches, Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas will have 130 guestrooms, including 16 suites.

Expected to open in early 2021, the resort will offer an ocean-view restaurant with rooftop patio, a pool with pool bar and an infinity-edge hot tub, a spa, and wedding and events venues, all with panoramic Pacific Ocean and lagoon views.

John Kratzer, Chief Executive Officer, JMI Realty, said, “Our goal is to provide a destination that locals and travelers will treasure, and we’re confident the Encinitas community will be proud to share their unique energy and beautiful shoreline with the new resort.”
