La Costa Spa and Resort

There is a sense of relaxation that engulfs you
as you walk onto the property at La Costa Spa
and Resort. This 400 acre resort in the foothills
of Carlsbad is just two miles from the beach and
30 miles from downtown San Diego. La Costa
Resort was the first destination spas in America
when it originally opened in 1965. A recent
renovation has added beauty and opulence to an
already classic location.

La Costa is world renowned for its two PGA
championship golf courses, 17 tennis courts, an
athletic club, a 42,000 square foot spa and five
outdoor pools.
The 610 guest rooms are housed in Spanish-
Style buildings. The rooms feature custom made
furnishings and all the amenities necessary for a
wonderful vacation.
The summer months are usually booked so plan in
advance. I was unable to spend a night at the resort
due to this factor, but was lucky enough to enjoy a
spa treatment and dinner in the Blue Fire Grill which
is one of their two dining options.

The spa treatment was a unique signature only one,
offered at La Costa. My daughter and I decided to
make it a mother daughter event so we chose the
Spanish Herbal Body Rub. This includes a fragrant
exfoliation with ground Rosemary and Sage mixed
16 with fresh Lavender buds saturated in extra virgin
olive oil. This is followed by a relaxing wrap and
scalp massage and ends with a full body lavender
massage. Although somewhat unusual I must admit
my skin never felt better than after I received this
treatment.

skip the lunch and save our appetites for dinner at the Blue
Fire Grill which provided a wonderful taste
sensation.
