Play In La Quinta

Hidden Gem of the Coachella Valley

They don’t call La Quinta, California the Gem of the Desert for nothing. Here, towering granite mountains are punctuated by glimmering green courses and our vibrant unmatched culinary and arts scenes. Uniquely crafted treasures fill every boutique, and local events are the proving ground for lifelong memories.

La Quinta, California is so much more than a place. This is where creators gather, Where champions play. Where mountains are conquered and where meals are savored. Sometimes, all that glitters is gold.

Endlessly entertaining
