Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa
With its rambling California mission–style architecture and brilliant gardens, this resort on what once was a famous equestrian ranch exudes rustic elegance. In 2024, Estancia unveiled a $26 million renovation, adding two new culinary concepts including The Trading Post Café and The Palma Pool Bar—both of which complement the refurbished pool deck and cabanas. Pet-friendly rooms have private lawns for four-legged friends and include pet-packages with grain-free munchies and plush beds. Slightly removed from downtown La Jolla, there are plenty of in-house dining options set around an antique hacienda with adobe brick. Tucked within the nine acres are secret gardens where weekend yoga is held, and an outdoor games library where you can make your move under a starry sky. The Torrey Pines Golf Course is less than 1 mile from the hotel.
