North of San Diego in Carlsbad, Omni La Costa Resort & Spa spreads across 400 acres of gardens, golf courses and Spanish Mission-style architecture. Recently renovated rooms, suites and villas bring a relaxed coastal palette to a resort long associated with Southern California leisure. The property’s scale allows for several different moods, from championship golf and the full-service spa to eight pools, family-friendly water areas and quiet terraces. Dining and bars include Bob’s Steak & Chop House, VUE and poolside venues, while the resort’s courtyards, palms and tiled roofs give the whole address a warm, sunlit Carlsbad character.
