I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
As popular as our beach towns and cities are, the Southern California desert is (perhaps surprisingly) a premier vacation destination. If you are looking for a unique, relaxing, and luxurious place to get away, look no further than the historic La Quinta Resort in La Quinta, CA.
This incredible resort in the Coachella Valley has been a luxury retreat in the heart of the desert since 1926. Part of Hollywood’s favorite place to escape, the guest list soon included famous names like Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, and Shirley Temple.
The now-sprawling La Quinta Resort and Club grew from 20 guest casitas to a beautiful resort that now includes 620 Spanish-style casitas and nearly 100 villas.
Guests at La Quinta Resort have a range of options when it comes to luxurious accommodations including spacious Casitas (not your average hotel room!), Spa Villas, gorgeous Suites, and exclusive Haciendas.
There are a whopping 41 pools throughout the property. The family-friendly main pool has cabanas, a hot tub, an outdoor fireplace, and poolside cafe service. A 21-and-over pool offers stunning views, cocktails, cabanas, and more. Secluded casita pools are tucked among the pretty casitas, offering guests poolside beverages and ice cream. Lap pools are available to Spa Villa guests.
Resort guests have five on-site eateries to enjoy, including the property’s signature fine dining restaurant, Morgan’s In The Desert. There are two casual dining restaurants and two grab-and-go spots, perfect for quick bites, casual meals, snacks, coffee, and more.
The resort gives guests access to five championship golf courses, an incredible oasis-like spa, indoor and outdoor yoga, world-class tennis facilities, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
Ready to book your casita? Whether you are looking for a one-of-a-kind winter experience, a luxurious place to enjoy the summer sun, or anything in between, a stay at the La Quinta Resort and Club is unforgettable.
