Omni La Costa Resort & Spa Celebrates 60 Years with Luxurious Renovations

Omni La Costa Resort & Spa provides a perfect getaway for golf lovers, spa enthusiasts, families, couples and anyone wanting to enjoy stunning beaches, perfect weather and luxurious accommodations. Located just 2 hours from Los Angeles in the secluded charming Carlsbad, the resort houses more than 600 guest rooms, suites and villas.  Guests can enjoy eight swimming pools, two 18-hole championship golf courses, a Kidtopia kids’ club, a huge fitness center, six food venues, an exceptional spa and 17 tennis courts. The resort just completed a multi-million dollar renovation taking its signature appeal to new heights. This highly-anticipated refresh not only updates the resort’s aesthetics but also reimagines the overall guest experience to cater to modern travelers while maintaining the charm that has made it a classic for decades.

Modernized Guest Rooms and Villas
The resort’s guest rooms and villas have been completely redesigned to reflect a modern yet timeless elegance. Drawing inspiration from Southern California’s natural beauty, the updated interiors feature a soft, coastal color palette, with light blues, greens, and neutral tones evoking the nearby Pacific Ocean and surrounding landscapes.

Accommodations have been designed to provide maximum comfort and relaxation, with plush bedding, spacious bathrooms, and high-end amenities that cater to today’s tech-savvy traveler. In keeping with Omni La Costa’s reputation for luxury, the villas also offer private patios or balconies with views of the resort’s lush gardens, golf courses, and scenic rolling hills.

Award Winning Spa Expanded and Enhanced

La Costa was the first resort in the country to offer a full spa service and now the renamed Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is world-renowned for its stunning state of the art spa and amenities. Guests can easily spend an entire day at the beautiful spa enjoying the healthy al fresco restaurant, lounging in the relaxation room by the fire; getting pampered at the nail and hair salon or with massages, facials and body treatments; destressing in the huge Jacuzzi and sauna; hanging out under the Roman waterfall; walking barefoot on the reflexology path and learning about fragrance at the free aromatherapy classes.

As part of the recent refresh, the spa has been expanded and upgraded to offer an even more indulgent experience. The newly renovated spa features additional treatment rooms, updated relaxation areas, and a fresh, contemporary design that enhances the serene ambiance. Guests can enjoy a range of treatments, from traditional massages to cutting-edge wellness therapies, all while surrounded by the calming natural beauty of the resort’s gardens. The spa’s renowned vitality pools, private cabanas, and tranquil courtyards remain a key part of the experience, but with the addition of new wellness-focused amenities such as infrared saunas and hydrotherapy stations.

Championship Golf Redesign
Home to two championship courses—the Legends Course and the Champions Course—the resort has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments, including PGA Tour events. As part of the resort’s refresh, these iconic golf courses have undergone a substantial redesign aimed at preserving their historical significance while introducing modern enhancements that meet the expectations of today’s golf enthusiasts.

The courses, originally designed by renowned architects Dick Wilson and Joe Lee, have been updated to enhance playability and sustainability. The new course layouts feature improved greens, better water management systems, and upgraded turf that aligns with eco-friendly practices, ensuring a top-tier golfing experience that harmonizes with the surrounding Southern California landscape. The resort has also integrated state-of-the-art practice facilities, including an expanded driving range and short game areas, allowing golfers of all levels to perfect their swing before hitting the course.

For fitness minded guests, there are also 17 clay and hard tennis courts, the adult Edge pool for relaxation or laps and a wide range of classes through their fitness camp and Athletic Club.

Kids will love the two 100-foot waterslides at the Splash Landing pools, the sandy beach pool, Kidtopia kids’ club, outdoor evening movies by the pool, s’mores and a cool game lounge.

Foodies can enjoy the huge portions at Bob’s Steak & Chop House, offering dinner dishes including onion rings, crab cakes, salads, ribeyes, filets, pork chops, lamb and a variety of seafood.

For all day dining, Vue provides pretty al fresco dining with views of the rolling green hills and golf courses. Breakfast and brunch highlights include daily variations on Benedicts and brunches; breakfast burrito bowls, French toast and chilaquiles.

My favorite part of the resort is the gorgeous Spanish Colonial style courtyard where kids can play, adults can lounge and savor a cappuccino and couples can stroll under stars and moonlight around beautifully lit fountains. The resort also updated their Coastal Events Center to accommodate a variety of events in the 100,000-square-foot space.
