Located in the charming community of La Jolla, just minutes from Torrey Pines Golf Course and 14 miles north of San Diego, Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa is a stylish retreat reminiscent of an early California ranch estate. The property - listed on Condé Nast Traveler's coveted Gold List and Hot List - pays homage to its rich history by emulating and utilizing materials from the original 1880s equestrian compound. The business center resembles the original caretaker's cottage, the intimate hotel lobby was created from the old farmhouse, and Mustangs & Burros, the hotel's rustic rancho-style bar, was inspired by the tack room. Even the restaurants reflect the old spirit in their design, menu concepts and gracious service.

Spent my anniversary at Estancia and they made us feel so special so we will definitely be back. Had an amazing experience at the Spa - top notch service from Shayla and Natalie. Spent some time out by the pool and WOW: comfortable lounge chairs, atmosphere was elevated, and friendly staff. Special thanks to Nate, Phil, Eddie and Collin!

Our experience at the pool was absolutely phenomenal, and a huge part of that was thanks to Eddie and Jack. From the moment we arrived, they made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. They were both incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing, which made the entire experience feel effortless and relaxing. It’s rare to find service that strikes that perfect balance, but they truly nailed it. Eddie was especially great at checking in at just the right moments, making sure we always had what we needed while still giving us space to enjoy our time. Jack brought such a positive and upbeat energy that made the whole atmosphere even better. You could tell they genuinely cared about creating a great experience for everyone at the pool, and it showed in every interaction. We ordered the Poke nachos and one of the salads, and both were absolutely delicious. The Pokey nachos were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly put together—definitely something we would come back for again. The salad was just as impressive, with fresh ingredients and great flavor that made it feel both light and satisfying. Overall, the combination of amazing food and outstanding service made this such a memorable experience. Eddie and Jack truly went above and beyond, and they are a big reason we’ll be coming back. If you’re spending time at the pool, I highly recommend asking for them—you won’t be disappointed!

Estancia is lovely, one of my fave hotels in San Diego. Came for a spa day with my bestie and enjoyed all the amenities. Lunch at Greenfinch, great massage, pool and spa time with a lovely snack and wine at Palma. A perfect vacation day at home.

Very impressed with Estancia so far. Casual day pool side, love the music and vibe. Phil made an amazing gimlet. My favorite drink is part gin and part cucumber. Happens that they have their own macerated cucumber simple syrup. I’ll take another!!

We stayed at the Estancia for its proximity to Torrey Pines and La Jolla. We did a day by the pool and Phil treated us like royalty — went above and beyond! We will definitely be returning next time we are in the area!
