“Destination La Costa” package

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- The luxurious La Costa Resort and Spa in Southern California is offering a “Destination La Costa” package that combines deluxe accommodations with either 18 holes of world-class golf, or a pampering treatment at the legendary Spa at La Costa.

Each guest of the “Destination La Costa” package is given the choice of two distinctive resort experiences:
1. Unlimited use of the spa facility with one spa service to include Skin Awakening Facial, Aromatherapy Facial, Men’s Executive Facial, or La Costa Massage.
2. One round of golf on either the North Course or South Course.

Plaza accommodations for one night complete the package (based on double occupancy).
The Spa at La Costa boasts 42 treatment rooms in a 43,000 square-foot facility that wraps around a huge outdoor courtyard for swimming in a Roman waterfall or sunbathing. A salon, café and boutique complete the spa experience, along with the world-renowned Chopra Center, which offers leading-edge services for those seeking mind/body transformation.

Ranked by Golfweek one of the top golf resorts in America, La Costa’s two championship-caliber courses wind through mature trees and stretching just beyond 7,000 yards, provide scenic vistas. The golf facilities are serviced by a brand new clubhouse and fitness center, which are linked to the rest of the resort by walkways washed in color by lush vegetation and gardens. The completely renovated, 474-room and suite resort has a village-like ambiance, and is less than two miles from pristine beaches.

La Costa Spa and Resort, part of the family of KSL Resorts destinations, also features the all-new BlueFire Bar & Grill, where guests may enjoy fresh seafood with seasonal vegetables, savory meats, sumptuous pasta dishes and an inspiring wine list with assorted cheeses, in a lush environment of cascading fountains, crackling firepots and toasty grills.
