Excellent wellness hotel. Great room. Awesome vibe.

Located just north of San Diego and La Jolla, Truly the finest of San Diego Hotels, Rancho Valencia Resort is a year-round retreat from the conventional routines of every day life. One of the premier Southern California Resorts, Rancho Valencia Resort was named Number Two of the Top 75 North American Resorts by Conde Nast Traveler, and One of the Top Ten Tennis Resorts in the US by Tennis Magazine.

Located just 25 miles north of the downtown San Diego Hotels, in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Valencia offers 49 luxurious suites, an award-winning restaurant featuring California-French cuisine, a renowned tennis program, spa services and playing privileges at four nearby golf courses. Set on 40 acres of lush landscaping, all of Rancho Valencia's suites boast fireplaces accented with hand-painted tiles, private garden patios, open-beamed ceilings and large walk-in closets.

Rancho Valencia Resort has set the standard among Southern California Resorts for gracious hospitality and excellence in service. We invite you to visit and become acquainted with the quietly refined pleasures that make Rancho Valencia one of the best resorts in the world.

Set amidst 40 acres of rolling hills and lush landscaping, our forty-three richly appointed suites offer privacy and luxury in a tranquil setting. Reminiscent of early California haciendas, each suite features custom furnishings, cathedral ceilings, hand painted tiles, fireplaces and plantation shuttered windows leading to private garden patios shaded by an array of sweet-smelling flowers and trees.

Our suites include the 850-square-foot Del Mar Suite, and the 1150-square-foot Rancho Santa Fe Suite. Each offers a spacious bathroom, walk-in closet, dressing room, separate make-up vanity, and wet bar. Our newest addition, The Grove Suites, opened in April 2002. In addition to all of the amenities offered in our original suites, The Grove suites feature private jacuzzis on the patios, steam showers in the bathrooms and are 400 square feet larger. For the ultimate accommodation, we offer The Hacienda, a magnificent 5000-square-foot adobe home, with 3 bedrooms, and a private swimming pool and spa set in a large yard.

Rancho Valencia is a genteel oasis providing healthy activities for mind, body and spirit. Experience our world renowned tennis program and state-of-the-art fitness center.

Enjoy a leisurely game of croquet on our championship croquet lawn. Pamper yourself with revitalizing body care treatments. Challenge yourself on a nearby championship golf course.
