An assortment of teas, mimosas and coffees are also available to drink.
When the sun goes down, the restaurant dishes up fan-favorite items including a Ceviche Tour, a chef-curated selection of three ceviches (salmon, crudo and tuna); seafood paella with prawns, clams, the catch of the day, Spanish chorizo and aioli; and the hearth-fired free-range Iberico pork trio with Denver steak, St. Louis ribs and a secret cut charred with pineapple salsa. A Taste of Agave, wine and cocktail menus are also offered to wash everything down.
Pacific Point is a more airy and relaxed spot to savor a bite to eat or indulge in a sip or two from the outdoor terrace or indoor dining room. The cocktail program blends seasonal ingredients with California flair, with highlights of the menu including Tealand Nights with Tito’s Vodka, Bombay Sapphire Gin, Cointreau, Thai tea and oat milk; Purple Haze with Purity Vodka, lemon, lavender and egg white; and Glass Slipper with Bacardi Rum, lime and lychee. Small and shareable plates can also be enjoyed at Pacific Point, including the local tuna poke bowl, wagyu burger and an assortment of items from the sushi bar.
Pups will also be treated to a decadent meal with the Pets at the Park in-room dining menu. These unique offerings include a Pup Cup with whipped cream, Bacon Strips Yappetizer and the Pawsome Meal with brown rice, mixed vegetables and your choice of chicken or beef.
When guests aren’t indulging in Park Hyatt Aviara’s culinary offerings, the summer vacation spot offers various activities designed to pamper, entertain and inspire guests throughout their stay.
For those seeking a self-care day, the newly opened Miraval Spa provides a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation, offering a wide range of award-winning treatments and therapies. The spa utilizes ancient and modern techniques with each experience, curated to renew the soul. One of the most popular treatments is Ocean Song—a tranquil sea wave with bespoke service crafted to reflect the beauty of the coastal scenery. The treatment begins with a refreshing rosemary sea salt exfoliation to invigorate the skin, followed by a warm soak in a tub infused with sweet birch and magnesium to calm the senses and relieve tension. Then, indulge in a luxurious full-body massage featuring nourishing sea elements to harmonize and restore balance. Finally, sway gently to the melodic rhythms of the sea and the resonant tones of a singing bowl, concluding this deeply centering ritual.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Aviara Golf Club presents an award-winning golfing experience amidst lush landscapes and stunning vistas.
