The facility its great the staff is excellent and the breakfast its incredible. The only thing that I didn't love was that the facility is not at a walking distance to the beach and to the restaurants.
So peaceful! The room was so airy and comfortable, we loved relaxing on the hammock and the delicious breakfasts. Would highly recommend for a relaxing retreat!
Was very nice. Didn’t spend much time there apart from sleeping but everything was very comfortable and well appointed. The included breakfast is a very nice touch.

Really cool space! Just a few small things would make it perfect, like the shower being overhead only (I didn’t want to wash my hair)
I stayed in the Earth room, and it was wonderful. Loved the large bathtub, bed and pillows were comfortable. The breakfast daily was phenomenal. Anke, the hostess was extremely hospitable, and helpful. Check-in and out was very easy. I would stay again, and recommend this hotel.
The place is small, as there are just 4 rooms, but it’s extremely nice and a great place to stay. The room is well appointed, clean and completely up-to-date and the staff is extremely nice and very helpful. They don’t really have room service but they do bring an excellent, healthy breakfast of your choice every day. There’s also a great gathering place on the upstairs deck with a fire pit and a fully appointed outdoor kitchen. Everything is geared towards a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
Twelve Senses is a true hidden gem. The attention to detail is amazing, from the complimentary Prosecco and home made cookies to the sustainable room elements and boutique design touches. The roof deck is lovely and fantastic breakfast is a wonderful addition to the stay. Best of all is the friendly owner Anke and her friend Meaghan who felt like long lost friends despite meeting them for the first time. All in all an awesome retreat to relax and recharge.
I stayed in the Fire room at Twelve Senses Retreat for two nights with my husband and 8 year old child. We had a very lovely, comfortable stay. The room was very clean, and we loved the daily organic breakfasts and hot beverages served in the morning. The room is a great value for the luxurious amenities and delicious breakfast that is included. Our room had a cozy gas fireplace, and a private patio. I highly recommend this luxurious bed and breakfast when visiting the picturesque, coastal town of Encinitas. The host was very accommodating to our daughter, and I really appreciated the attentiveness to making our stay extra comfortable.
Stayed for three days to scuba dive and golf in the area. Also went to the local casino to play some poker. Great dining options nearby. The property itself had all the amenities I was needing. The owner was available at any time that I texted her with questions. It really felt like a hotel atmosphere but in an airbnb setting. Housekeeping and accommodations but private and comfortable. Rooftop area to sit and relax by a fire pit if desired. Breakfast menu made to order was delicious. On site free EV charging was a huge plus for my electric vehicle. Would definitely recommend and plan on staying again in the future.
My boyfriend and I are locals, but decided to escape the city for a quick coastal staycation, and we're so glad we discovered Twelve Senses. This place is truly a hidden gem.
Upon arrival, we were greeted with a thoughtful welcome: an assortment of cheese, fruit, and nuts, along with a personalized card that made us feel instantly at home. In the morning, we received beautifully curated breakfast baskets. We both ordered the avocado toast, which was hands-down the best we've ever had. The coffee? Absolutely out of this world.
Every detail at Twelve Senses was thoughtfully considered. The room was spotless, beautifully designed, and well-appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and responsive, making the experience even more seamless.
We didn’t get a chance to enjoy all the amenities this time, but we’re already planning our return trip. Can’t recommend it enough.
My partner and I were here for two nights and loved our stay. We stayed in the air room which feels light and private. We loved the breakfasts and getting to use the sauna and hot tub which are clean and easy to use. Vincent and Jade were kind and hospitable and we can’t wait to return and to share this place with our friends and family.
