Park Hyatt Aviara: Where Luxe Living Meets Coastal Elegance

Set on 200 acres in the serene coastal town of Carlsbad, California, the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa is the epitome of luxury living. A perennial favorite among affluent travelers, sports enthusiasts, and San Diego staycationers, this coastal haven is renowned for its Aviara Golf Club and world-class spa. As you step into the grand foyer, you'll instantly realize that you've arrived at a special place. With its expansive indoor-outdoor living concept, the resort seamlessly combines the best of California-coastal cool with the opulence of a beachfront mansion.


A Playground for the Discerning Traveler


This resort appeals to a wide range of guests. Golfers and tennis enthusiasts flock to its 18-hole Arnold Palmer-designed golf course and state-of-the-art tennis facilities. Couples seeking a romantic escape are drawn to the expansive spa and the exclusive adults-only pool and cabanas. Families can enjoy the newly added waterslide tower and tide-pool splash pad area at the main pool, making it a perfect destination for all ages. Solo travelers have their share of activities, from meditation classes to yoga sessions and guided walks around the beautiful Batiquitos Lagoon.


A Unique Blend of Elegance and Renovation


Currently undergoing a multi-year renovation that has revitalized the common spaces, guest rooms, pools, and dining establishments, the Park Hyatt Aviara shines brighter than ever. Originally part of the Four Seasons chain, Hyatt acquired the hotel in 2010, and it has since evolved into a uniquely upscale offering. The resort remains a sought-after wedding destination and hosts the LGPA Tournament every year. While San Diego may be considered more laid-back compared to its neighboring coastal cities, the recent transformation has positioned Aviara as a beacon of luxury that rivals its competitors to the north.


Spacious and Serene Guest Rooms


The resort offers 327 spacious guestrooms, including 43 suites, all of which have been meticulously redesigned. Even the standard rooms are generously sized, but for easy access to all the resort has to offer, or if you're traveling with pets, consider a main floor room with a furnished terrace. The marble bathrooms, Jacuzzi tubs, separate living areas, and balconies with Pacific Ocean views in the coastal rooms add a touch of indulgence to your stay.


A Culinary Experience Like No Other


Formerly home to the beloved Argyle Steakhouse, the resort now boasts Ember & Rye, its signature restaurant, set to open this Spring. With a collaboration with renowned chef Richard Blais, the restaurant promises high-end coastal cuisine, including barbecued oysters "flambadou" with bone marrow butter and pickled chili. You can also explore Baja-California inspired Ponto Lago, offering breakfast, dinner, and weekend brunch, and Pacific Point, a tribute to Pacific Rim fare with standout dishes like octopus poke and Wagyu short rib.


Rejuvenation at the Aviara Spa


The Aviara Spa spans an impressive 15,000 square feet and features 20 treatment rooms, an indoor solarium lounge, saunas, and steam rooms. While it specializes in Swedish and deep tissue massages, its facials are considered among the best in the region, offering everything from age-defying treatments to illuminating facials. For a unique experience, try the "strawberry fields" facial, which uses locally grown strawberries to hydrate and rejuvenate your skin.


A Serene Neighborhood and More


The resort sits atop a bluff overlooking Batiquitos Lagoon and the distant Pacific Ocean. The proximity to a popular walking trail along the lagoon is one of the best-kept secrets of this locale. A 3-mile out-and-back trail offers a perfect start or end to your day. The hotel shuttle service is available to take you from the Aviara Golf Club to the resort if you'd rather not hike back up the hill. Nearby attractions include LEGOLAND and Ponto State Beach, making it an ideal destination for families.


Unmatched Service and Amenities


Park Hyatt Aviara offers impeccable service, reflecting its ethos of being the premier low-key luxury resort in town. The hotel provides a shuttle service and golf carts to facilitate easy access to the golf course and tennis facilities. With the expansive layout of the resort, it's important to note that it may not be suitable for travelers with limited mobility. ADA rooms are available on the ground floor, along with elevators and wheelchair access ramps.
