Briefly Sited

From the Ground Up In early August, the new Four Seasons Resort Aviara opened on 180 acres in Carlsbad, CA, with 331-rooms and suites. Part of the 1,000-acre Aviara master-planned community, the luxury property is Four Seasons' first ocean-view golf and tennis resort built on the U.S. mainland. In addition to an 18-hole golf course (which has been operating since 1991), six tennis courts, and spa, the resort offers 29,000 square feet of function space, including a 12,000-square-foot ballroom.
