A proposal for the next era
Our Family Experience, Reimagined
For 100 years, La Quinta Resort & Club has been where families come to soak up the desert.
Our main pool is the center of that life: morning laps, afternoon cannonballs, one more swim before dinner. This proposal reinvests in that experience, rebuilding the pool that is already here and adding new ways for every generation to enjoy it.
What we are proposing
More Ways to Make a Splash
A rebuilt main pool
The pool at the center of resort life today, renewed for the decades ahead.
A water slide
The kind of afternoon-filling fun that keeps kids in the water until dinner.
A children’s splash pad
A splashy, sun-soaked spot made for the littlest swimmers.
More seating and cabanas
More shade, more room to gather, more space for the slow afternoons.
A clear proposal
And a few things this project is not.
-
It is not a new or separate facility.
It is the same pool, in the same place, rebuilt and improved.
-
It is not a change in how the pool is used.
We do not sell day passes to our pools, and this project does not change that.
-
It is not final.
 The proposal is under City review, and nothing has been approved.

First Looks
A view of our vision
We are stewards of this iconic resort's history, and we hold that responsibility closely. The enhancements are being designed with intention, so that every new element feels in place with the character and style that have defined La Quinta Resort since 1926. Reinvesting in the property is part of our long-term responsibility to it.
Proposal renderings will be added as they become available.

Application filed
We filed our application with the City of La Quinta.

Neighbor conversations
We brought the plans to our immediate neighbors so they would hear about the project directly from us rather than from a public notice. Those conversations were candid, and we are still working through what neighbors raised.

The application has not been presented to the Planning Commission, no hearing has been scheduled, and nothing has been approved.

FAQs
Questions we are hearing.
No. This project rebuilds our existing main pool and adds a water slide, a children’s splash pad, and additional seating and cabanas. The plans on file with the City of La Quinta show exactly what is proposed.
We do not sell day passes to our pools, and this project does not change that. The pool continues to serve the same audience as it is today.
No. We filed our application with the City of La Quinta in late 2025. The application is under City review. It has not been presented to the Planning Commission, no hearing has been scheduled, and nothing has been approved.
Noise has been a design consideration from the start. The pool area is laid out to keep sound within the resort, and the water slide is oriented to project sound toward the interior of the property. An independent noise study completed in February 2026 and expanded in August 2026 modeled a worst-case scenario, with the slide, the pool, and all seating areas in use at the same time. Even in that scenario, sound levels at the nearest homes would remain within the City of La Quinta's daytime noise limits. Construction noise would be temporary and limited to the hours the City allows.
The pool is expected to use water at levels comparable to a traditional swimming pool of similar size and use. Operating hours and other details will be finalized as part of the normal planning and approval process.
