Perched atop a stunning coastal bluff extending along one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in Southern California, our property offers magnificent and one-of-a-kind panoramic views of the shimmering Pacific Ocean and adjoining Batiquitos Lagoon. This proximity not only inspires our décor, it influences every aspect of our guest experience, from colorful activities to enchanting programming. And having the ocean just steps away from our door and open beach access provides us with a unique opportunity to be stewards of one of California’s greatest natural attractions: the Pacific Ocean. Senses spoiled, wellness discovered, occasions celebrated. Experience it all at Alila Marea Beach Resort. Indulge at the ocean-front pool deck, take in the culinary journey at VAGA restaurant, or find your zen at Spa Alila. You can also invigorate your wellness in our fully-equipped gym, ride the Electra Go! bikes, or take a walk along the sandy beach.

Our stay was very disappointing. The room felt uninviting, with a view of the parking lot. The restaurant was below average — cold coffee, slow service, and an uninspired setting. The pool and facilities look far better online than in person. Overall, the experience did not come close to what we expected for the price.

I have traveled all over the world and this hotel is great. It is advertised adult only and that is great. One day, kids were in the pool. The staff kindly asked the parents to watch the kids. But overall, the food is excellent, rooms clean and the service and staff 👌

I needed a place to get away. This was ideal! You could be happy spending your entire day on the balcony; however, the beach, poolside, and close locations to shops/restaurants is an added bonus. Great customer service. Now that I've been I would make sure to ask for a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor as the first floor is right near the walking path of guests and people going to the beach, not as much privacy.

We visited the Alila August 2025 to celebrate belated birthdays, spending time with family and celebrating health and life. The hotel itself is beautiful, with views of the beach. Everyone was super friendly and helpful and John at the check in desk made our experience so amazing - from checking in, to making reservations for us at Vega and surprising us with an amazing dinner. The staff at the restaurant were so nice and the food was so delicious! Thank you to everyone that made our stay so special! We will definitely be visiting again.
