Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa

Ten acres of Spanish colonial buildings, red-tile roofs, and sun-baked courtyards that started life as a horse ranch and never really lost the feeling of one. This La Jolla resort spreads itself unhurriedly across lush native gardens with fire pits, a heated saltwater pool, a Moroccan-inspired spa, and guest rooms that are considerably more comfortable than any stable. Three dining venues on-site means you don't have to leave if you'd rather not.
