The season to celebrate sunshine is upon us and La Quinta Resort & Club, a world-renowned Southern California luxury escape, has masterfully planned for their guests to experience the desert oasis at its finest. From a bird’s-eye view, the lush grounds are decorated with splatters of refreshing crystal blue pools and palm trees of varying heights standing next to groups of Mexican-style adobe roof decks—all surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.
“The resort has a soul to it,” says Chris George, the Director of Marketing. “When you turn down the front drive, it really feels like you’re arriving at someplace special, and there are very few places that have that level of authenticity, not just within the desert, but really across the United States.” With a wide range of climate-controlled pools, inspiring culinary adventures and premier golf courses, La Quinta Resort & Club’s impressive array of unparalleled amenities sets the standard for excellence. “We are in the business of creating a guest for life,” states George. The resort sparks a newfound zest for life—joie de vivre, as the French would say—the kind of zest a traveler eagerly brings home to integrate with everyday life.
1 | Home Away From Home
With a wide range of room options–casitas, suites, villas, dog-friendly spaces and real estate and vacation rentals–to accommodate your lifestyle, there’s no shortage of room options at La Quinta Resort & Club. You can expect a perfect blend of luxury features with at-home comforts to ensure that your stay is nothing short of spectacular.
2 | Splash Away
Designed with guests in mind, there are 41 climate-controlled pools spread across the resort’s 45 acres of land. “We heat them during the winter and then chill them during the summer time,” explains George. “That way you always have a comfortable body of water that you can pop into.”
3 | Palate Pleasers
A string of culinary affairs await to appease your palate. To name a few, head on over to Adobe Grill to enjoy the outdoor bar service with live entertainment. According to George, they serve some of the largest margaritas in the valley! After a game of golf, recharge with a refreshing round of hand-crafted beers at Ernie’s Bar & Grill.
4 | A Swing at Greatness
Experience all levels of greatness at La Quinta Resort & Club’s nine spectacular golf courses. “We have likely the best and greatest concentration of golf in the Western United States, designed all by masters of the game—Pete Dye, Greg Norman, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Tom Weiskopf,” says George proudly.
5 | Après Swim x Veuve Clicquot
Transition from a day of swimming fun to the resort’s latest summer event, Après Swim, “the desert’s most effervescent Happy Hour.” Sorry kids, this is an adult only party! Toast with a glass (or two) of Veuve Clicquot, a premium French champagne house, and watch the glow of the sunset paint cotton candy colored skies.
6 | Your Resort Family
The scope of the extravagant resort coupled with its variety of luxurious amenities are what lure guests in, but what keeps the guests returning for years to come are the team members. “We have so many team members that have been with us for over 25 years,” says George. “They have created this familial environment that our guests are completely drawn into.”
