Experience Holiday Magic in the Heart of the Desert!
For Southern California residents, the Greater Palm Springs area has provided a serene desert escape for decades. Boasting incredible golf courses, year-round sunshine and luxurious resorts, the area is brimming with opportunities for adventure as well as relaxation.
But when it comes to a holiday-inspired California vacation, among its vast array of stunning resorts and spas, none quite compare to La Quinta Resort & Club. Typically hailed for its breathtaking grounds and world-class amenities, this Spanish-style resort pulls out all the stops during the festive season. From its iconic tree lighting ceremony to activities like chestnut roasting and enjoying breakfast with Santa, there are countless ways this destination will make your season merry and bright. Here are five reasons why we love La Quinta Resort & Club for a festive vacation.
Seasonal Spa Specials
Spa La Quinta is nothing short of world-class, and with an incredible array of spa treatments available, including full-body massages, skin care treatments, facials, a full-service salon and all the wraps, soaks and spritzes one could wish for, it’s easy to see why. But each year, La Quinta Resort & Club goes all-out in an effort to embrace the cozy season, and their spa is no exception. This November, guests can enjoy a variety of “Autumn Awakening” spa treatments, many of which are infused with hints of natural pumpkin aromas and radiant fall colors, filling guests with a renewed appreciation for the season.
Holiday Festivities
La Quinta Resort’s luxurious spa isn’t the only part of their resort embracing the holidays. Guests can look forward to seeing the resort’s remarkable grounds decked out with seasonal colors, twinkling lights and loads of other festive holiday decor this season. Pair that with a lineup of fun seasonal activities, including interactive holiday cooking demonstrations, chestnut roasting, movie nights under the stars, photos with Santa and more, and you have everything you need to make your season merry and bright.
Local Insight: Mark your calendars for the Christmas tree lighting on Dec. 1, where you’ll get to enjoy hot cocoa, seasonal treats, carolers and more!
Special Fall + Holiday Menus
All three of La Quinta Resort & Club’s restaurants have each been hailed as some of the very best in the area. Morgan’s in the Desert, Adobe Grill and Twenty6 all bring their own unique flavors and decadence, allowing guests to experience three different cuisines during their stay. However, one thing they all have in common is their love for the holiday season, as evidenced by the plentiful collection of festive menus. Don’t miss the Thanksgiving Day pre-fixe feasts at Twenty6, Morgan’s in the Desert and Adobe Grill, where you’ll get to indulge in dishes like lobster bisque soup, pumpkin gnocchi, maple glazed turkey breast, branzino al pastor and deconstructed pumpkin pie!

On-Site Holiday Shopping
For many, holiday shopping can be one of the most daunting to-dos on their list. It often means long lines, far drives, piles of gift receipts and overly busy department stores. Thanks to La Quinta Resort’s specially curated row of on-site shops and boutiques, a bit of holiday shopping can be accomplished without ever leaving the resort. With everything from hip athletic-wear outlets—including Citrus Agave, which sells everything from Aviator Nation to Lululemon—to tasteful boutiques, like Greta’s, Audrey’s and Walter’s, a stay at La Quinta Resort could mean one less trek to the crowded mall.
Incredible Year-Round Weather
Our list would not be complete without mentioning one of the desert’s biggest draws: year-round incredible weather. While known for its summer heat, the weather in November and December is arguably the most desirable. Temperatures consistently hover in the 60s, 70s and 80s. With plenty of sun still available for lounging poolside, the season also welcomes in a crisp breeze to make fun outdoor activities like golf, tennis and pickleball even more enticing.
With a long weekend full of shopping, relaxation and good eats ahead, now is the perfect time to embrace the holiday season at La Quinta Resort & Club.
