Twelve Senses Retreat Bed & Breakfast - Encinitas

Boutique wellness retreat in Encinitas with rooms designed around the four elements

Rooms & Design

Twelve Senses Retreat offers four rooms - Fire, Water, Earth, and Air - each built around a specific natural element. The Fire room includes a gas fireplace and a wool mattress with organic cotton topper, while the Water room provides a soaking tub and rain shower. All rooms use recycled and locally sourced materials, such as corrugated leather wall panels and handmade clay mugs, and no televisions are provided to encourage disconnection.

Wellness & Healing

Guests can book private sessions with certified health practitioners, including sound-bowl healing and intuitive readings, offered on site. The property has a sauna and a hot tub for daily use, plus yoga mats in the common area. Complimentary yoga classes and access to local healers are available through a unique membership program that also provides entry to exclusive wellness events.

Dining & Breakfast

Each morning, a French chef prepares a personalized breakfast delivered to the room or rooftop patio - options include organic avocado toast, poached eggs with a local twist, and gluten-free dishes for celiac guests. Meals are made with locally sourced, organic ingredients, and the property also offers complimentary wine or champagne upon arrival. The rooftop patio has a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a fire pit with ocean views.

Location & Activities

12 Senses Retreat sits less than 2 miles from Swami's State Beach and downtown Encinitas, with Moonlight State Beach and the Meditation Gardens within a 5-minute drive. Guests can borrow bicycles for free to explore the historic Highway 101 shops and restaurants. On site, the rooftop fire pit and hammock balconies provide spaces for quiet relaxation after beach walks.

Pet-Friendly & Sustainability

The retreat accepts dogs and provides pet beds, bowls, and treats in each room, plus a designated outdoor area for pets. Sustainable practices include organic breakfast ingredients, recycled materials in room construction, and a shared outdoor kitchen to reduce waste. An electric vehicle charger is available in the free private parking lot.
