Coachella Valley Oasis

La Quinta is the desert’s hidden gem, offering a mix of luxury resorts and intimate boutique stays just a stone’s throw from the renowned Palm Springs.

Travelers don’t ever need to leave their hotel at these elegant getaways. 

Soak up California Sunshine

Explore the stunning desert landscape on foot or by bike for unbeatable views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and blooming desert cacti. From leisurely strolls along Bear Creek Trail and easy city cycling, to challenging desert treks and mountain biking on trails like Boo Hoff, there is something for every skill level to enjoy. Visit La Quinta Resort & Club for a tennis or pickleball lesson from a USPTA-certified professional trainer. Stay active in their state-of-the-art fitness center or rent a bike for outdoor discoveries. After working up a sweat, relax with a guided yoga and meditation class under the blue sky at your resort, or the city’s wellness center.

Hit the Greens

Home to a premier golf landscape, this is where world-class greens meet stunning desert vistas. Tee off at PGA West, home to six courses that each earned a spot in GOLF’s Top 100 list and host of the famed American Express PGA Tournament. For a unique twist, play SilverRock Resort’s Arnold Palmer Classic Course sprawling over 200 acres, with natural bunkers and water features framed by mountain views.

Dine Out

The culinary scene is as vibrant as the desert. Find fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a diverse mix of flavors and styles. Visitors can indulge in refined comfort classics at celebrated spots like Morgan’s in the Desert and Arnold Palmer’s Restaurant, or discover the creative charm of Old Town La Quinta at local favorites like RD RNNR, DSRT CLUB, and YES PLEASE. Whether you’re seeking fine dining or laid-back, artsy vibes, La Quinta offers an array of memorable dining experiences that capture the essence of California cuisine in the heart of the Coachella Valley.
