Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in San Diego’s upscale neighborhood of Rancho Santa Fe, has officially re-opened its doors following a $30 million transformation. The Mediterranean-inspired, all-suite property offers 49 guest casitas, spanning 45 acres.
Upon arrival, guests enter the San Diego resort’s private gates followed by a short drive to the clubhouse, exuding the newly designed reception lounge and courtyard, Sheridan boutique and new restaurant and bar.

Notable changes were also made to the resort’s new signature restaurant, Veladora and adjacent Pony Room bar.
Wellness was also a major initiative for the updates that were made to the resort. In addition to resurfacing all 18 on-property tennis courts, the Spa at Rancho Valencia and fitness center were expanded with a new line-up of fitness classes, spa treatments and wellness programs. The resort’s fitness center was further expanded with the addition of a 1,000-square-foot Yoga Pavilion that will host a number of Yoga sessions, fitness classes, exercise programs and retreats.
