Spa La Quinta Review - California

      Water figures prominently in this desert getaway's spa program. Fountains, waterfalls, and spray-misters are everywhere.

Our favorite way to begin the weekend, after relaxing in the aromatherapy lounge, is with the Celestial Shower. Set in a private, open-air section, a therapist regulates water settings and temperatures coming at you from all angles, while the parched hills look down in envy. A variety of open-air baths are also available.

With its location next to the tennis facilities, spa guests can dine on a healthy lunch courtside, watching a match, unless you're down to play yourself. If that's the case, be sure to book a sports massage. You'll thank us later.
