Live Well. Celebrate Well.​

​

The iconic arched entry, lush courtyard, and harbor view terrace of El Encanto offer an unforgettable experience that is truly unique on Catalina Island. Inside, you will find a thoughtfully curated collection of experiences under one beautiful roof: a Catalina spa for slowing down, a café  serving fresh Mediterranean dishes, a Catalina event venue for marking life's biggest moments, a retail boutique for taking a piece of the island home, and two Villa Suites for guests who want the stay to last a little longer.

​

Looking for a Catalina wedding with the harbor as your backdrop? El Encanto's event spaces are ready to host it, from intimate gatherings to the full landmark experience.

 

An Avalon landmark for all to enjoy

​

El Encanto has been part of Avalon's story for nearly a century: a graceful Spanish-style landmark rising above Crescent Avenue with sweeping views of the harbor, its architecture woven so deeply into the waterfront that the town is hard to imagine without it. Once again, its doors are open to the public and Avalon's most charming address is ready to welcome you home.
