With Wine-Tasting and Seasonal Spa Treatments, La Quinta Resort Is Bringing the Fall Magic
While the desert’s palm tree leaves may not change colors come October, this destination is an ideal fall escape for those seeking an endless summer. In the fall, temperatures hover in the 80s and 90s, making it perfect for days spent on the green and by the pool. And there is perhaps no better place to spend your fall desert vacation than the stunning La Quinta Resort & Club.
Situated in the charming town of La Quinta, just 25 minutes from Palm Springs, this iconic resort offers the perfect blend of relaxation, adventure and seasonal charm. With its breathtaking backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains, ample outdoor activities and 41 climate-controlled pools, La Quinta Resort is a little slice of paradise for travelers looking to experience the best of a California autumn.
Whether you’re craving tranquil days by the pool, invigorating hikes through the desert or tasty seasonal cuisine, this resort in La Quinta has something for everyone. Here are seven reasons we love La Quinta Resort & Club for a festive fall vacation.
Autumn Awakening Spa Treatments
La Quinta Resort & Club is home to one of the best spas in Southern California; however, this fall, Spa La Quinta’s relaxation and rejuvenation experts are going above and beyond by adding a whole new menu of exclusive seasonal treatments as part of their “Autumn Awakening” celebration. Enjoy specialty facials, such as their Harvest Glow Facial, which features enzymatic yam and pumpkin treatments for natural exfoliation. Or, opt for a full-body citrus-balsam Swedish massage, which combines the warm scents and spices of fall with the spa’s award-winning Swedish massage. With so many incredible fall treatments to indulge in, it’s easy to see why we love the Autumn Awakening specials for some much-needed relaxation and rejuvenation.
Morgan’s in the desert’s Wine Series
In addition to an incredible spa, La Quinta Resort also takes significant pride in its beloved signature restaurant, Morgan’s in the Desert. This fall, the team at Morgan’s is elevating their already outstanding culinary offerings by debuting the 2024-25 season of their wine series. Morgan’s in the Desert’s Wine Series will take place once a month and will feature wines from some of the most renowned vineyards across the world. Each month, guests will have the opportunity to sample these wines while also indulging in a curated tasting menu where each dish has been specially designed to complement the featured selection of vino. This experience will kick off this fall, so be sure to book your spot in advance to take advantage of this incredible experience.
Live Entertainment at Adobe Grill + Morgan’s in the Desert
Along with leveling up their culinary experiences for the fall, La Quinta Resort is also upping the ambiance at two of their acclaimed signature restaurants, Adobe Grill and Morgan’s in the Desert, by hosting live music throughout the fall season! Given that the valley is home to some of the most prestigious music festivals in the world, it should come as no surprise that the region is home to a handful of talented performers. Enjoy listening to some of the desert’s best vocalists and musicians while you indulge in the immaculate cuisine offered at each of these acclaimed restaurants.

Enjoy lounging under the sun at one of the resort’s 41 climate-controlled pools this season. Whether you’re taking the whole family for a swim at their Main Pool, which features stunning views of the scenic Santa Rosa Mountains, or enjoying a serene soak at their secluded 21+ Plunge Pool, La Quinta Resort has a swimming and sunbathing experience fit for every traveler.

Offering private sessions and the ability to book your own court, tennis and pickleball are beyond fun at La Quinta Resort and a great way to work up a sweat.
