The Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara, a $22 million transformation project, has reimagined bringing fresh California coastal style to the property’s interior design. Specializing in villa and residence rentals, this exclusive community, just a half-hour north of San Diego, offers a unique resort experience that has been beloved by travelers and local residents for nearly three decades. The just-revealed renovations have transformed all 246 Residence Club villas, as well as the clubhouse, fitness centre and pool area.

A reimagined look for an iconic Southern California retreat

The transformation of Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara was designed by Wimberly Interiors of WATG, led by the same team of architects who worked on Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara when it originally opened in 1998.

“This major enhancement project sets a new standard for luxury rental villas in San Diego,” says Demi Ortega, vice president and general manager of Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara. “We offer the perfect alternative to hotels, resorts and typical residence rentals. Guests love staying here because we provide all the comforts of a second home, with all the luxury and service of a Four Seasons resort. And now, with our renovations complete, it’s more beautiful than ever.”

Inspired by nature, designed for relaxation

The new contemporary design takes cues from the natural environment, creating a coastal, Southern California style. There’s a focus on organic textures and earth tones of cream and silver with accents of blue and terracotta. Indoor and outdoor living spaces blend together seamlessly, flowing to a private balcony that’s furnished for al fresco dining and lounging in the sun. The villa renovations encompass new flooring, lighting, furniture and finishes, as well as new kitchen cabinetry and appliances, all with exceptional quality.

“The new design captures the spirit of a California beach house,” Ortega says. “The style is comfortable, contemporary and bright with sunshine. All the details work together to create an atmosphere that reflects the natural coastal landscape, creating a deep sense of relaxation.”

Luxury villas with all the comforts of home

Simple to book, these Villa & Residence Rentals range from studio-style guest rooms to one- and two-bedroom resort residences, complete with kitchen and laundry facilities. The layouts are perfect for families or groups of friends, hosting up to eight people. Many guests opt to reserve a collection of villas for larger groups, providing the ideal balance of privacy and togetherness.

New enhancements to clubhouse, fitness centre and poolside bar

Another focus of the renovation was the recreation clubhouse, receiving a makeover that extends from the bold main entrance to new furnishings and fixtures. The fitness centre includes all-new equipment for strength and cardio training, along with a complete refresh of the locker rooms and the addition of dry saunas. The poolside bar has also been updated with a fresh design and expanded seating.

A true Southern California resort lifestyle

Located in the laid-back Southern California town of Carlsbad, Four Seasons Residence Club Aviara is set within rolling coastal foothills, offering magazine-worthy views of the Pacific. Right on property, guests enjoy a complete luxury resort lifestyle with a choice of two swimming pools, a kids’ club, dining at Seasons Restaurant and unwinding at the Driftwood Spa.

The experience is brought to life with legendary Four Seasons service, including a pre-arrival Concierge who can stock the villa’s kitchen in advance and plan an array of local activities — from golf outings and surfing lessons to activities in nearby San Diego, Del Mar and La Jolla. For day-to-day requests, the expert Four Seasons team is right on site, ready to provide immediate assistance.

To be among the first to discover the new look, guests can book the Experience More package, offering a credit of up to $300 per day when reserving a one or two-bedroom villa.
