Kick back at the resort or explore La Jolla, Downtown San Diego, and more, all with the Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa as your base!
Massage Room at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa
Modern Amenities, Upgraded
The Estancia La Jolla offers guests much more than their hotel rooms. Check out their one-of-a-kind amenities and services.
Visit the Spa Estancia
I love laying on the beach or out by the swimming pool enjoying San Diego’s warm weather, but all that time in the sun and salt water can do a number on my skin. Luckily, a trip to the Estancia La Jolla hotel spa will have you feeling rested and refreshed no matter how busy you’ve been keeping yourself while on vacation.
The menu of massages and skin treatment packages will leave you relaxed and ready to explore even more of San Diego the next day!
Guests also have access to the extensive fitness center while staying at the hotel. It includes Life Fitness machines, free weights, and space for stretching.
Take in the Property’s Atmosphere
It’s not just the inside of the hotel that’s worth admiring; the property is gorgeous too, from the Olive Lawn garden to the apiary where you can watch organic honey being made. There’s even a self-guided tour with QR codes to scan as you walk through these green spaces.
Don’t forget to stroll through the chef’s garden and butterfly sanctuary. The property also has a cute wishing tree where you can write your wish on a tag and hang it up in the branches.
Want to get out and see La Jolla? Simply ask to rent a complimentary electric bike at the front desk!
Experience a Daily or Weekly Event
Like any good resort, you don’t have to leave the grounds for entertainment options. Each day, the restaurant Mustangs holds a happy hour. After, head over to the patio to enjoy live music performers in the evenings.
On weekends, morning yoga classes are held outside. These are a rejuvenating way to start your day, and they’re exclusively for hotel guests.
Kayakers, Snorkelers and Swimmers in La Jolla
Nearby Attractions to Visit
La Jolla, a beloved coastal community in the northern part of San Diego, is a nature lover’s paradise. No visit is complete without spending time at La Jolla Shores or La Jolla Cove, where kayaking, snorkeling, and surfing are popular activities, or strolling through town to shop and dine.
Here are some of the nearby sites I think you should consider checking out during your stay.
Explore Torrey Pines
Located right along the coast of La Jolla, the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is one of the most well-known locations for experiencing nature in San Diego. Hike among the rare pine trees and red cliffs, or set out for a day of fun in the sun at Torrey Pines State Beach.
Here, you’ll find another of our most highly-recommended hotels, The Lodge at Torrey Pines. But staying at Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa puts you just south of one of the most fun things to do in the area, that being launching off with a paraglider! Seek adventure in the air at the Torrey Pines Gliderport by paragliding alone or in tandem with an experienced instructor.
Plus, if you’re a golfer, you can’t miss the Torrey Pines Golf Course. Known for hosting the US Open in 2008 and 2021, this course features unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean.
Have a Beach Day
The beach at Torrey Pines State Reserve is one of many La Jolla beaches. The neighborhood is famous for its surfing culture, with standout surf points like Scripps and Bird Rock that attract visitors from around the country each year.
Seeking something more off the beaten path? How about the La Jolla: 2-Hour Kayak Tour of the 7 Caves? You’ll get a unique perspective on these incredible natural features that sit right off the coast.
Learn! Science, Arts, and More
La Jolla isn’t just known for its beautiful beaches; it’s also a hub for advancements in both medicine and culture!
For the more scientifically-minded, there’s the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, which was founded by the inventor of the polio vaccine. Architecture and science buffs add this research facility to their must-see list.
And as far as arts venues go, the La Jolla Playhouse is one of the biggest names in San Diego. Catch a show at this innovative theatrical venue, located on the campus of UC-San Diego.
