Our Personal Escape to the Desert’s Original Hideaway

As lifelong travelers seeking the perfect luxury getaway, we recently spent a few unforgettable days at La Quinta Resort & Club, just a scenic drive from San Diego. Spanning 45 acres of lush desert landscape, this iconic resort delivers everything you could want in a relaxing escape—pools, golf, spa, and dining—all in one place.

Diving Into Luxury Pools

We began our stay by taking a refreshing dip in the Main Pool, one of 41 climate-controlled pools across the resort. Our private cabana became our personal retreat for the day, where we enjoyed a menu of fresh fruit, burgers, and casual snacks while basking in the sun. During our visit, we also experienced the adults-only Plunge Pool, where the Veuve Clicquot Après Swim offered champagne tasting flights, signature cocktails, and lite bites—making our afternoon truly indulgent.

Teeing Off at World-Class Golf

Rated the number one golf resort in North America, La Quinta’s five breathtaking golf courses didn’t disappoint. We challenged ourselves on the fairways while soaking in spectacular desert views, and the courses offered just the right balance of difficulty and fun. For golf lovers, this is a must-visit destination.

Rejuvenating Spa Experience

After a day of sun and golf, we treated ourselves at Spa La Quinta. The Calm and Balance CBD Massage was a personal highlight—starting with a flight of three VYBES hemp water flavors and ending with a soothing, therapeutic CBD oil massage. It was the perfect way to unwind and reset our minds and bodies.

Dining That Delights

Food lovers will be equally impressed. We savored an authentic Mexican dinner at Adobe Grill, complete with outdoor bar service and margaritas from a collection of over 100 tequilas. The next morning, we indulged in a delicious breakfast at Twenty6, rounding out our culinary experience. With seven unique restaurants, every meal at La Quinta Resort & Club feels like a special occasion.

Our Stay in Style

We stayed in a charming casita, complete with a private patio and stunning desert views. The accommodations made our stay intimate and relaxing, allowing us to enjoy the resort’s amenities without ever leaving our personal retreat.

The Perfect ESCAPADITA

Whether you’re seeking a family-friendly getaway or a romantic desert escape, La Quinta Resort & Club caters to every traveler. From lounging by the pools to playing a round of golf, indulging in spa treatments, and dining on world-class cuisine, our experience was nothing short of extraordinary.

We highly recommend booking your stay at La Quinta Resort & Club to experience the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and adventure.
