What if you could combine the comforts of home with the luxury of a five-star resort? At the Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, you don’t need to imagine. From the moment you check in, you can indulge in the opulent luxury resort lifestyle that has made Four Seasons hotels a household name in hospitality. Here is just a sample of what this beautiful property has to offer, and how you can own a piece of Four Seasons in San Diego.
Four Seasons and San Diego: The Perfect Match
Sun-soaked San Diego is a prime destination for a Southern California vacation. All of the shops, dining, and attractions of San Diego are at your fingertips, with Los Angeles and Anaheim just a day trip away. The laid-back coastal town of Carlsbad, located in North San Diego, has a storied reputation as a luxury destination, offering uncrowded beaches, world-renowned golf courses, and attractions for adults and families alike.
But a destination is nothing without a place to stay, and few accommodations can hold a candle to a Four Seasons hotel. They’re the premier name in luxury resorts, known for their attention to detail and commitment to customer service. They exude casual elegance: a clean, well-appointed aesthetic that is earned, rather than forced.
The Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara in San Diego takes the luxury that the Four Seasons is known for and delivers it through spacious villas and extended-stay accommodations. So let’s explore a bit further and discover everything Aviara has to offer.
Exceptional Pre-Arrival Service
Your experience begins before you even set foot on the property, thanks to your pre-arrival concierge. They’ll work to ensure that every detail is to your specifications. Your pre-arrival concierge will stock your kitchen with groceries, whether it’s your favorite wine, locally sourced ingredients for culinary experiments, or just your favorite snacks. They can also plan local activities and excursions, from private surf lessons to theme park adventures.
Four Seasons resorts worldwide are renowned for their customer service, and the concierges at Aviara can arrange for virtually anything. This isn’t limited to resort amenities either. Do you need a last-minute reservation at the busiest restaurant in town? Did you drop your phone and need it repaired ASAP? Do you want exactly 2,000 green M&Ms? If it’s legal and you can pay for it, they can make it happen.
The Palatial Villas of Four Seasons San Diego
Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Four Seasons Aviara’s staff and brought to your luxury accommodations. Even the most basic suites here are leagues ahead of your typical hotel room, with plush beds, a kitchenette, and spacious balconies. However, for the full experience, you should definitely book a villa.
The one-bedroom villas at Four Seasons Residence Club are 1,245 sq. ft., with two private balconies, a full kitchen, a fireplace, and a dry bar. The one-bedroom premier villas are even larger, while the two-bedroom villas average 1,670 sq. ft. and include a third balcony and a bonus kitchenette. The open living space doubles as a dining area, though dining al fresco with panoramic views of the Aviara golf course is highly recommended.
All suites and villas include a full bath, equipped with terrycloth bathrobes and designer toiletries. Twice-daily housekeeping services ensure everything is kept pristine so that you can focus on relaxation.
Fine Dining, In-Room and Out
Feeling hungry? While you can easily prepare your next meal in your villa’s kitchen, the culinary epicenter of the Four Seasons Residence Club is the Seasons Restaurant. This elegant eatery uses locally sourced ingredients to craft elevated, American-style cuisine. One of the most unique offerings here is the Golden Hours: a Four Seasons twist on the classic happy hour, featuring tapas-style dishes by Chef de Cuisine Jason Winton. Whether you go for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a brief snack, you can expect top-quality service and delicious cuisine at Seasons Restaurant.
Would you rather spend your day by the pool? There’s no need to dry off. Each of Four Seasons Aviara’s heated swimming pools offers delicious poolside bites. The Summits Grill, at Summits Pool offers small bites, salads, sandwiches, burgers, cocktails, and more. Kids will love the classic grilled cheese, while adults might be drawn to the grilled fish tacos with lime crema. Alternatively, you could all order the chicken tenders. It’s your vacation, after all.
Swimming in the Palmera Pool, but still want a bite to eat? Not a problem. Place your order with one of the helpful staff members, and your food will be delivered right to your chair. Bon appétit!
One of the few downsides of a luxury resort is that the rooms are so comfy, you might not want to leave! Fortunately, that’s no obstacle at the Four Seasons San Diego, thanks to In-Villa dining. Wake up to buttermilk pancakes with huckleberry jam, or have beef tenderloin delivered right to your door. For a more hands-on experience, you can request kits for making pizza, chocolate chip cookies, or s’mores. What could be sweeter than that?
Sand Traps, Surf, and Spa Days
There’s no shortage of things to do at the Four Seasons. San Diego’s many attractions are just a short drive away, and your concierge will gladly help you arrange city activities. However, if you really want to experience that opulent luxury resort lifestyle, you should try some of the activities closer to home.
A Dream Destination for Golfers
Renowned golf courses surround the Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, including the one that gives the resort its name: Aviara. Designed by legendary golfer Arnold Palmer, this 7,007-yard course overlooks the Batiquitos Lagoon Nature Preserve. As you tackle this par-72 course, you’ll be surrounded by rolling foothills, native wildflowers, and the kind of sublime beauty you can only find in California. There are three other professional golf courses near the Four Seasons Residence Club, each offering its own beauty and challenges. Simply speak to a concierge to secure a tee time.
Are you new to the game? Looking to improve your swing? Ask about lessons at the Aviara Golf Academy. It offers professional lessons for golfers of all skill levels. Golfers looking to elevate their game can arrange a custom fitting at the TaylorMade Performance Lab or Scotty Cameron’s Golf Gallery. Your concierge will happily schedule an appointment for you.
Ride the Waves
Carlsbad is surf country, but actually hitting the waves can be more complicated than just grabbing your board and heading to the beach. That’s why Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara has a surf concierge who handles all the logistics for you. They’ll even schedule a lesson for you, if it’s your first time surfing.
While the Four Seasons isn’t directly on the San Diego beach, their commitment to customer service makes a trip to the shoreline feel effortless. For the perfect beach day, ask your concierge about a beach rental. They’ll work with their rental partners to arrange anything from palatial venues for wedding parties to cozy couples lounges perfect for honeymooners.
Take a Spa Day
What could be more luxurious than a spa day? The Driftwood Spa at Four Seasons San Diego offers rejuvenating spa experiences, including best-in-class facials, body treatments, and massage therapy treatments. Not used to the arid California air? The salt stone massage will exfoliate your skin, replenish lost minerals, and improve circulation. Combine that with an Oxygeneo Three-in-One Super Facial and your skill will have never looked or felt better.
Wellness is about more than spa treatments; the Four Seasons offers an open-air yoga pavilion and a 24-hour fitness center. Join weekly yoga, Pilates, and water fitness classes led by professional instructors, then relax in the on-site steam rooms as you reflect on your wellness journey. There’s even a dedicated Relaxation Lounge for meditation, reading, or just unwinding with a glass of champagne.
