Founded in 1965, and almost as quickly, a who's who of the rich and famous flocked to the La Costa Resort and Spa to play the courses and courts, and to unwind at what was the first U.S. resort to offer a full-service spa. And although times have changed, the tradition of excellence continues to strengthen with every new guest.





A lush atmosphere echoes inside each newly renovated room at La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad. Rich fabrics pop over a palette of blues, greens and terra cotta. Natural light pours through the windows that perfectly frame the stunning views beyond. And steps from your door, world-class golf, tennis, dining, and spa anxiously wait to welcome your arrival. It's simply the perfect respite while on a perfect Southern California getaway. Surround yourself in a private garden paradise with the signature La Costa Room. Escape with the family to the elegant and completely redesigned two-bedroom Family Suite. Step from the shopping, dining and picturesque beauty of La Costa's central Plaza into the spacious comfort of a two-room Plaza Suite, or enjoy the Spanish Colonial style and beautifully crafted details of our Junior Villa. Packed with comfortable charm, these and other San Diego accommodations each provide a distinctly unique experience. Your room is ready.
Since 1965, the Spa at La Costa has set the gold standard for wellness retreats and was recently named the #1 Wellness Spa in the nation by Spa Magazine and Travel + Leisure's #4 Spa in North America. While honored, these accolades have only strengthened our commitment to improving your life through the healing powers of nature. For it's nature that inspires everything at the Spa at La Costa - the fresh citrus and herbs that infuse our Spa elixirs; the local ingredients accompanying our treatments; our completely redesigned facilities.
