A little history…

Let us step back and reflect on the history of this world-renowned destination. Over the years there have been many stories about “La Costa” being a mafia-preferred resort and although he does not confirm the rumors of special escape tunnels under the golf course, the resort’s creator, Merv Adelson alleges the mob ties. According to him, “The first guests, they were all Teamsters!” When the La Costa Resort finally opened in 1965, it was truly a sight to behold with its California Mission Revival-style architecture attracting dozens of celebrities who lived in Los Angeles to the north. Hollywood elite and world-famous entertainers like Charlton Heston, Bob Hope, and Johnny Carson would become regular guests here. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Bing Crosby of the renowned “Rat Pack” were among the resort’s most frequent celebrity visitors.

Known today for “The La Costa Lifestyle,” the Omni La Costa Resort has been a top destination for Hollywood’s elite since the mid-1960s. At the time it opened, the $3 million La Costa Spa was believed to be the largest and best-equipped in the world.

Omni Hotels and Resorts eventually purchased the resort in 2013, renaming it as the “Omni La Costa Resort.” Today, the Omni La Costa Resort still maintains its status as one of California’s most prestigious destinations. A sanctuary that combined natural beauty with perfect weather, making it an ideal location for an escape from everyday life.

The resort has continued to attract guests seeking wellness and relaxation. A $50 million renovation modernized the resort, heightening the air of luxury and service. And over the years received many recognitions and topped many lists yet one to highlight would be securing a membership of Historic Hotels Worldwide, which is dedicated to promoting heritage and cultural travel to prestigious historic treasures.
