Twelve Senses Retreat - Encinitas Bed & Breakfast

"What a beautiful place to stay. I found it very peaceful and relaxing. Exactly what I needed. The breakfasts each morning were so good and I loved the various options. There are so many unique and thoughtful touches included in the room. You can tell that a lot of care and intention went into curating the perfect combination of amenities. Everyone helping out was incredibly friendly and willing to do extra if needed to make my stay wonderful. I highly recommend and would love to return."

"We stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was perfect. The room was spacious and our host was so thoughtful in making our stay and experience as good as it could be. The breakfast was also great (Turkish eggs) and we loved the elemental theme of the place and of our fire room. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet getaway!"

"What to say about this true gem tucked away in the heart of Encinitas. My husband and I decided to book our wedding night here and it truly couldn't have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived Anke made us feel welcome. She has clearly put her heart and soul into this beautiful space and it shows. We stayed in the fire room where everything is oriented toward the element of fire. it was large, spacious and had a fireplace that gave the perfect warmth and romantic feeling for our special night. Everything is organic from the bed itself to the towels and sheets. The soaps smelled amazing, she left us thoughtful cards, a bottle of sparkling wine, and served us the most delicious organic breakfast in bed. It was one of the best stays I have ever had. The care, detail and energy that has been imbued in the space makes this such a special experience. It truly sparks the twelve senses. We are already planning our return for the summertime. If you have the chance you should absolutely stay here. We were lucky to be able to see all the rooms before others checked in and each are magical in their own way. 10 out of 10."

"Absolutely amazing experience! Anke, the owner, has exquisite taste and it shows. Every little detail from the welcome snack to the pillow chocolates to the gourmet breakfast was perfectly executed! And beyond the food, the room was gorgeous, clean, and inviting. Perfect location, easy parking and self check-in. I wouldn’t change a thing!"

"My partner and I are locals and opted to experience a holiday ’stay cation’ at Twelve Senses. What an extraordinary place!! Every detail in our room reflected sophistication, beauty and peaceful space. We loved the simplicity of the design which made us feel relaxed and comfortable. More importantly, we appreciated the drive for sustainability in all the aspects of the provided amenities. The neighborhood is quiet and yet the hotel is very close to the beach and all the wonderful restaurants and shops in Encinitas! We highly recommend staying here! It’s truly a unique space for all ecologically and healthy minded travelers."
