Large-scale pieces by our artist in residence, Aaron Chang, inspire contemplation, while surfboard wall panels by local board shaper Brian Szymanski infuse The Pocket with beachside energy. Venture to Encinitas’ main street to catch a show at La Paloma Theatre, a century-old Spanish Colonial Revival-style theater or explore the San Diego Botanic Garden.

Surf the best breaks in Southern California, hike the surrounding coastal wetland of Batiquitos Lagoon, and discover an eclectic mingling of sidewalk cafés, boutiques and art galleries amid the relaxed beach town vibes of Encinitas.

From harnessing the energy of the elements to minimizing our environmental footprint in collaboration with community partners, this eco-friendly California resort places sustainability at the forefront. Our green initiatives include solar power for all pool and water preheating, multiuse water vessels and partnering with local coffeehouse Lofty Coffee to eliminate coffee pods in rooms. Our resort car is a Tesla Model X, and electric vehicle charging stations are available.
