C H A M P A G N E /// delivered to you anywhere on property, via golf cart.

A V***e Clicquot cart rolls through La Quinta Resort, serving chilled bottles poolside with the Santa Rosa Mountains as the backdrop. It's the kind of detail that makes a desert trip feel like a different world entirely.

The reason it's everywhere:

🛻 The V***e Clicquot golf cart: flags it down or let it find you, anywhere on the 45-acre property.

🏊 Poolside delivery: cold champagne, mountain views, and zero reason to move from your chair.

🏔️ The Santa Rosa Mountain backdrop: the kind of scenery that makes a glass of champagne feel like it costs twice as much.

📍 La Quinta Resort & Club, 49-499 Eisenhower Dr, La Quinta, CA 92253

W H A T /// happens when you swap the bun for sticky rice?

is doing something you haven't seen before, and it starts with a sticky rice burger bun. The menu is built around Thai flavors done in a format that actually makes sense.

What to order:
🍚 Spicy Kaprao Pork Burger: a marinated spicy kaprao pork patty pressed between sticky rice buns, topped with a fried egg.

🍟 Classic BBQ Pork Fries: Thai-style BBQ pork patty chopped over hand-cut fries with cheese, aioli, and green onions.

🧋 Thai Tea: the drink that belongs next to either one.

🍺 Thai Beer: cold, straightforward, and exactly right with the spice.

W E E K E N D /// cure found, and it's 300 acres above Santa Cruz.

Chaminade Resort & Spa sits on a mountaintop overlooking Monterey Bay, and an entire getaway here without ever leaving the property is not only possible — it's the point.

Here's how to spend it:
🌲 Forest therapy: wander the trails through the redwoods and let the elevation do its job.

🔥 S'mores by the fire: find a pit, pull up a chair, stay longer than you planned.

🎵 Live music on property: no cover, no crowds, just the kind of evening that sneaks up on you.

♨️ Pools and hot tubs: soak with Monterey Bay somewhere in the distance below you.

🦌 Wildlife on the grounds: deer wander through like they own the place. They kind of do.

🛏️ Your room view: wake up to the bay framed in the window, fireplace going, nowhere to be.

Save this for the weekend reset you keep putting off.
