Description

Welcome to the Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, a defining and iconic beachfront resort located in North County, San Diego, just 28 miles north of San Diego International Airport. Both historic and breathtaking, Encinitas is a unique setting among a group of beach enclaves that dot California's Coast Highway 101. The vibe here is refreshingly unpretentious, artsy and chill, and a place where the local residents take a balanced, holistic approach to the good life. Whether riding the consistent ocean waves, biking along the dramatic coastline, swimming and bodysurfing, practicing yoga or just relaxing, reflecting and toasting with a glass of wine, it's an enviable lifestyle that echoes the essence of our distinctive relaxed luxury experience.

To the discerning traveler, we are the quintessential Southern California beachfront destination that delivers authentic and one-of-a-kind personalized experiences in a world-class, barefoot luxury setting. We are local, sophisticated and unscripted, with the intent of anticipating guest needs both spoken and unspoken.

We are looking for colleagues who can quickly perpetuate a culture that embraces great design and superlative service. Our highly-anticipated soon-to-be-open hotel seeks unique individuals who have a passion for exceptional hotel service that is both intuitive and personal, and who best express that belief in an atmosphere of spontaneity and authenticity. At Alila Hotels, a Hyatt Hotels brand, we believe our guests select our luxury resort because of our caring and attentive colleagues who are focused on providing efficient service and meaningful, surprisingly different experiences.

True to Alila's pillars of conscious travel, VAGA Restaurant & Bar offers a menu of modern creations that celebrates the finest local and sustainably sourced ingredients, including the incredible bounty of the ocean that hugs our shores. Our award-winning Executive Chef, Claudette Zepeda, is a San Diego native who gives expression to the region's unique cultures and landscapes in an exciting confluence of flavors that sing in harmony.
