Group Travel In La Jolla: A Boutique Home Base for Golf Trips, Wedding Weekend & Foodie Getaways

January 21, 2026

Group travel works best when the stay is built for time together–and for disappearing when you need a little breather.  At Orli, your group gets space to gather (courtyard+lounge), rooms that feel personal, and a Village location that makes plans easy. With seamless check-in through the Orli web-app and a concierge team reachable by text, you can keep your weekend moving without friction. From golf trips and wedding weekends to group hotel blocks and full buyouts, here’s how Orli makes group travel in La Jolla feel effortless.

Golf Trips Near La Jolla

La Jolla is one of Southern California’s most sought-after golf destinations. Orli gives your group a calm home base in the Village so you can head out for rounds, come back to cold brew on tap and courtyard reset before heading out for dinner. Here are a few standout courses within close reach:

  • Torrey Pines Golf Course: A world-class course set above the Pacific, known for sweeping ocean views and championship-level play. A must for any La Jolla golf trip.
  • Encinitas Ranch Golf Course: A coastal links-style course with wide fairways and ocean breezes, offering a scenic and approachable round for mixed-skill groups.
  • Coronado Golf Course: A classic course set along San Diego Bay, known for its flat, walkable layout and relaxed pace.
  • Riverwalk Golf Club: A scenic course along the San Diego River with multiple layouts, making it a flexible option for groups with varying skill levels.
  • Sorrento Canyon Golf Center: A convenient practice facility for warm-ups, short-game sessions, or a casual afternoon between tee times.

 

Wedding Weekends in La Jolla

Orli is well suited for wedding weekends that center on connection, shared time, and thoughtful details without turning the weekend into a production. With 13 rooms available across the property, it’s intimate in nature: close friends and family are just steps away, but everyone still has their own space to recharge. 

Orli’s wedding offerings focus on flexibility and personalization, including:

  • Group hotel blocks for wedding parties and guests (or inquire about a full buyout for total privacy)
  • Use of the courtyard for welcome gatherings or casual moments between events under the olive trees
  • Concierge support from the Orli team for local recommendations, timing, and flow

Orli’s Village location keeps the entire wedding weekend connected. Ceremony sites, standout restaurants, and scenic photo spots are all within walking distance, allowing guests to move easily from one moment to the next. With an on-site concierge available throughout the weekend, guests can even receive personalized recommendations tailored to their interests, helping each stay feel thoughtful from arrival through farewell brunch.

 

Full Property Buyouts for Milestones and Retreats in La Jolla

For groups looking for a fully private stay, Orli offers hotel buyouts–meaning your group gets the entire property as a shared coastal residence.  It’s an ideal format for milestone birthdays, creative retreats, and executive offsites where you want privacy without losing concierge support and a walkable neighborhood.

A full buyout includes:

  • Exclusive access to all 13 guest rooms
  • Private use of the courtyard and lounge/library
  • A central Village location for group gatherings, meetings, or celebrations

Foodie Weekends in La Jolla

La Jolla is made for food-focused weekends: long lunches, ocean-view drinks, celebratory dinners. At Orli, you’re within a half mile of the area’s most celebrated spots. When you want to do a low-key night in, the courtyard works perfect as a delivery meet-up spot with Brew Bar’s cold brew, kombucha, and filtered water on tap. 

Popular restaurants that can accommodate larger parties or private dining include:

  • George’s at the Cove: A La Jolla classic with ocean views and private dining options.
  • The Marine Room: Known for its high-tide setting and celebratory dinners.
  • Le Coq: An upscale French bistro perfect for celebrations and rehearsal-style dinners
  • Catania: Italian-inspired menus with group-friendly seating.
  • Duke’s La Jolla: A relaxed setting well suited for larger parties.

 

Plan Your Visit 

Orli works well for groups who value design, autonomy, and a prime Village location. It’s a boutique hotel that supports shared experiences while allowing each guest space to move at their own pace.

To plan your group stay, tell us your dates, headcount, and what the weekend is “about” (golf, wedding, milestone, food, just because)–and we’ll help map the details from group hotel blocks or buyouts to neighborhood recommendations your whole crew will actually use. We look forward to hosting you soon!
