La Costa's Reflexology Path leads to stress reduction and body bliss<\/p><\/div>\n
If you\u2019ve never taken advantage of resort spas (this includes you, too, gentlemen), La Costa will bring you to your senses. Infusing the abundant elements of nature, including locally-grown rosemary, lemon-thyme, strawberries and sunshine, La Costa\u2019s spa experiences include a Bamboo Massage, Citrus Renewal, and Berry Firm Facial. Al fresco features include a waterfall shower, Jacuzzi and shaded or sun-splashed lounging areas. While children frolic on the waterslide over at the resort\u2019s subtle, sequestered Splash Landing pool play area, adults wince, moan and purr as they walk on the smooth stones of the spa\u2019s Reflexology Path, one of only a few in the United States. Pacific beach cobblestones, embedded in concrete in varying patterns, gently stimulate pressure points in the feet, stimulating blood flow and relieving stress. What a way to spend your time between sessions at a business conference! So precious is the experience that I saw guests walking the path in pouring rain. Linger, breathe, live. It\u2019s sort of an extension of the home remedy that standing on a golf ball is a good hangover cure. La Costa cures a golf craving with 36 holes which have hosted significant PGA Tour and LPGA events for 40 years, allowing the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to put up their feet after a days\u2019 play on courses that saw celebrities such as Frank Sinatra, Clint Eastwood, Bing Crosby and others kick up their heels with a round\u2026after a round. Two-time Ryder Cup player Steve Pate, who won six times on the PGA Tour (including a victory at nearby Torrey Pines and a 1988 win at La Costa), worked with golf architects Damian Pascuzzo and Jeff Brauer to renovate what\u2019s now called the Champions Course.<\/p>\n
La Costa\u2019s rare combination of convenient facilities in an appealing setting make it a dream wedding destination\u2026and just dreamy in general.<\/p>\n
