Luxurious Mountainside Hacienda-Style Resort in Private Desert Oasis
For over 75 years screen stars and dignitaries have escaped from the limelight by retreating to the lush hideaway of La Quinta Resort & Club. The New Legacy Villas has incorporated the best of La Quinta into a lush resort comprised of Spanish Hacienda-style Villas with sloping red-tiled roofs, hanging over whitewashed plaster walls, amidst an oasis of sparkling pools and fountains. The Deluxe Villas, resembling a 5 Star Hotel, are luxuriously furnished in early California decor, and boast 10ft. ceilings and 1706 sq.ft. of space. Soaking tubs, flat screen T.V., Kohler fixtures, rich maple wood cabinetry, granite counters and stone tile floors add to the opulent spa-like ambiance. The chef's kitchen, outdoor gas BBQ & open floor plan are perfect for entertaining groups -- or dine at the poolside cafe and relax at one of the 12 pools and 11 spas.
Best Location with Maximum Privacy and Light: Both the living room and king master bedroom open through charming french doors onto private verandas, where the aromas of surrounding bougainvillea complement romantic evenings of al fresco dining or wine tasting under a canopy of stars. The dual master suites each contain en suite bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and stall showers.
We specifically selected this bottom floor, end unit location for the exceptional amount of sunlight it receives through the tall windows adorned with plantation shutters, and for its unparalleled privacy and magnificent views of the dramatic Santa Rosa foothills from almost every room.
Villa Amenities: Additional features include over 100 channels of HDTV including HBO, DVD, Wireless High-Speed Internet, ceiling fans throughout, washer/dryer, three fireplaces, three patios and separate private entries. There is also secure garage parking for 1 car.
Just steps outside your Villa, the swimming options abound with 12 private salt water pools and 11 relaxing Jacuzzis, including dedicated lap pool, tranquil adult pool, and the ultimate family pool and play area with its beach-like entry, turtle fountains and resort cabanas (free of charge). The inviting hammock garden, outdoor fireside lounge area, poolside Café and state of the art fitness facility round out the spectacular Clubhouse at the heart of the resort. (the lavish clubhouse is also available as an event site for hosting weddings, anniversary parties and birthday celebrations). Additionally, an expansive lawn that is perfect for kids is steps from one of the three private patios.
Activities and Attractions: We love walking next door to the world famous La Quinta Resort and Spa for exclusive shopping, gourmet dining and romantic evenings on the manicured grounds. And when we're in the mood to treat ourselves, the Spa La Quinta - crowned one of the Top 50 Spas of America - provides a host of tranquility-inducing treatments, using all organic products in a spectacular setting, and two championship golf courses designed by Pete Dye - augmented by the three courses of nearby PGA West (including TPC Stadium, ranked as one of Golf Digest's 100 greatest public courses) -provide golfers of all levels of play while admiring the breathtaking views of the Santa Rosa Mountains.
We also love biking to downtown La Quinta (1 mile away) for deliciously simple breakfasts and coffee drinks at the Old Town Coffee Company or hearty dining on the patio at Clint Eastwood's Hog's Breath Inn.
No stay is complete without a field trip to El Paseo and the Living Desert Zoo in Rancho Mirage, just 10 minutes away.
