A Local's Guide to La Quinta

Located in the Santa Rosa Mountains, La Quinta is a well-manicured oasis of calm and luxury. Just a short drive from the better-known city of Palm Springs, this little town has a lot to offer.

For a start, La Quinta has some of the best golf courses in California, some of which have been designed by legendary players such as Tom Fazio, Greg Norman and Jack Nicklaus. It is also the home of the legendary PGA West Golf Club and the five championship courses. In addition to golf, La Quinta is also rated as one of the country’s top tennis resorts.

Old Town is the lively hub of La Quinta. Spend hours exploring the cafes, art galleries, and salons, all located within a charming village atmosphere. A favorite pastime is dining al fresco here -- there is nothing better than chilling on a stylish patio, glass of wine in-hand, and watching the world go by. Get the very freshest food at the farmers' market to take back to your vacation home, and browse the shops for local gifts. Some of the best La Quinta vacations rentals can be found within close proximity to the Old Town.
