A Day at Park Hyatt Aviara

Morning

The sun glows through coastal mist as you sip coffee on your terrace, the scent of salt and blooming bougainvillea in the air. After breakfast of avocado toast and citrus, stroll down to the lagoon or tee off amid ocean breezes and birdsong.

Afternoon

Float in the cabana-lined pool, where the water mirrors the blue sky, or surrender to the spa’s marine salt massage. For lunch, a crisp Chardonnay pairs perfectly with local seafood under white parasols.

Evening

As the light turns golden, the fairways fade into silhouette. Sip cocktails beside fire pits, then dine on grilled sea bass and heirloom vegetables while waves whisper in the distance.

Night

A quiet return to your suite, cool sheets, and the faint scent of the ocean through open doors.

Insider Tips for Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa

• The resort sits on a hilltop, not directly on the beach—you’ll need a car or Uber to explore beyond the property.
• Order food delivery from outside the resort if you want more affordable dining.
• Valet parking only—$65 per night.
• The resort is eco-conscious, offering boxed water or aluminum bottles and water refill stations instead of plastic.
