Summer in Southern California is undeniably one of the most sensational season-location pairings around, made perfect by radiant sunshine, natural beauty and ample opportunities for relaxation and recreation.

For the Sunbathers
For many, vacation is a time to relax and recharge—to escape the chaos of everyday life and enjoy serenity under the sun beside a shimmering body of water. Luckily, La Quinta Resort is no stranger to R&R. For starters, the resort’s lush grounds are home to 41 different climate-controlled pools. At the main pool, you’ll find private poolside cabanas, a hot spa and a cozy outdoor fireplace perfect for evenings under the stars. This pool deck also plays host to exciting summer events, like the resort’s “dive-in” poolside movie nights. And thanks to its partnership with Aperol, sunbathers can also enjoy spritz hours, adding a bit of flair and fun to your relaxation journey.
