Perfectly situated between the laid-back atmosphere of downtown San Diego and the glamour of Orange County, Carlsbad is known as “The Village by the Sea,” as it offers all the conveniences of living in a big city, artfully blended with the charm of an old European town filled with charming antique shops and sidewalk cafes.
Tucked away in a secluded area of Carlsbad, the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa is one of those magical places where the stress of the world just seems to melt away in a serene atmosphere, where even the golf courses are decorated with beautiful flowers. The resort itself is a work of wonder, as it features eight separate pools, which include an adult-only pool designed for rest and relaxation, as well as kid-specific pool areas featuring two 100-foot toddler slides and Splash Landing. The hotel itself has over 600 rooms spanning 400 acres, which makes it the perfect destination for both a romantic getaway when you want a little privacy, as well as a wedding or an event with a large number of people.
For the more active guests, the resort features, two 18-hole championship golf courses, aptly named Champions and Leagues, 17 tennis courts with both hard and clay surfaces, a 9,100–square-foot Athletic Club, a Kidtopia Kids Club for the little ones, and to cap off all these luxuries, the World-headquarters of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, co-founded by Deepak Chopra and David Simon is right on the property, offering free all-levels yoga and meditation classes.
The two golf courses, both beautiful and challenging, offering stunning views, make every player feel like a champion by following in the footsteps of PGA’s finest players.
