That’s where we meet up with Mimi, the instructor for our one-hour private yoga class. On the first floor of the new, two-story, 25,000-square-foot Spa Pechanga is a boutique, a fitness center and yoga studio. We’re on the move again but serenity is on the agenda. The two flat-screen TVs (65-inch in the living room 55-inch in the bedroom) can’t compete with the views of Journey golf course from the suite’s floor to ceiling windows. The décor is a tasteful blend of natural woods, high-end fabrics, sleek stone and contemporary lighting. There’s a bedroom with two queens, a living room with a sleeper couch, a dining area, a half bath at the entry and a sprawling master bath, with two entrances, an over-sized rain shower, soaking tub and a double vanity. We quickly unpack and practically get lost exploring the elegantly appointed, approximately 900-square-foot space. Since it’s a Tuesday, we’re able to get an early check-in for our corner suite in the new, 568-room Resort Tower, which is one of four suite types options the hotel offers. We head left, toward the newly expanded 1,090-room hotel.ġ2:15 p.m.

Pulling up to the Temecula resort, we’re faced with the first of many decisions - which valet lane? There are so many, Pechanga has an attendant to help guide you.
