Forty-two pools, 52 hot tubs, 90 holes of golf, 23 tennis courts and historic cottages are just part of La Quinta, which sits in the desert beside the Santa Rosa Mountains outside of Palm Springs. Built in 1926 as a 56-cottage retreat from Golden Era Hollywood, the resort has grown; still, the original charm of the Spanish Colonial architecture remains unchanged. In 1 998, the propagation of saltillo tile and stucco culminated with refinements such as a 23,000 square foot spa and 3,500 square foot fitness center. With inventive use of native elements and soothing aromatherapy outdoor baths, treatments here are distinguished by their novelty as well as their nurturing serenity.
The Cahuilla Sage wrap exemplifies La Quinta’s use of indigenous elements nicely. The local Cahuilla Indians have long recognized sage for its ability to cleanse and calm. Here, linens are steeped in a tea of herbal sage, and then wrapped around your body in an infusive. cocoon. While the herbal linens go to work on your spirit, your therapist goes to work on your scalp as well as facial pressure points; a soothing synergy is the result.
With the two-night Desert Celebration Package for two, starting at $852, both guests enjoy a massage, a facial, a specialty bath and a Celestial Shower. Or consider the three-night Golf and Spa Package.
Starting at $1,188, the package includes three rounds of golf, massage, a body treatment, facial and Celestial Shower.
