High-end San Diego County resort bans children from overnight stays
Briefly

The Alila Marea Beach Resort in Encinitas, California, has implemented an adults-only policy as of February, aiming to attract guests over 18. The hotel seeks to provide a serene atmosphere for relaxation and exploration. Although children will not be permitted to stay overnight, they may attend events like weddings. This shift is consistent with other Alila locations, yet it raises legal questions regarding potential discrimination under California's Civil Code. Comments from legal experts suggest it may not comply with state business regulations prohibiting discrimination.
This transition allows us to provide a serene and tranquil environment tailored to adult travelers seeking relaxation, exploration and a peaceful stay by the beach.
We're excited to introduce new programming tailored specifically for our adult guests' desire for relaxation, connection and adventure.
Anybody who's providing public accommodation has to do so without effective discrimination, and that would include hotel establishments.
The move mirrors other Alila hotels, including the Napa Valley location, which boasts that it's a sanctuary for adults.
