Vast sliding walls of glass blur the lines between indoors and out in this spacious, mid-century home, where glorious Palm Springs sunshine and gorgeous mountain views steal the show.

Inside, an open lounge is centred around a stylish fireplace with chic period furniture. The dining area is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar, beyond which you'll find everything you need to cook up a feast for the whole family.

There's even more living space outside, inviting you to spend sun-soaked days under cloudless skies. The kidney-shaped pool offers a chance to cool off from the heat of the day in between sun lounger sessions, while those who prefer to stick to the shade can lounge on the outdoor sofa under the bright blue parasol. 

The adjacent hot tub makes for romantic nights staring up at the stars, followed by cosying up around the fire pit to dry off before dinner. Tuck into sumptuous homemade meals fresh from the grill, or bring in the professionals for restaurant-quality food in the comfort of your home. Alternatively, stroll half an hour into central Palm Springs to experience the dynamic desert dining scene.

Silent Cinema

We’re willing to bet that some good-natured individual watched a rainbow materialise in the sky, grabbed a handful of the resulting magic, threw it in a gift box wrapped in serenity and released it into this home. With eye-catching custom murals and generous touches of blue all around, you’ll find yourself in an oasis as exuberant as the outdoors of Palm Springs that Hollywood stars can’t seem to get enough of. 

The home is a mid-century modern delight, and you’ll find a library with a lounge just for reading, a pool terrace dotted with energising palm trees and sensational views of the mountains, and a games room made for indulging in some friendly competition with your fellow guests. You won't want to leave but if you ever decide to, an adventure is always calling out in the Indian Canyons and you’re a five-minute drive from the eclectic mix of shops (everything from candy shops to record stores) in Downtown Palm Springs.

The Blue Ridge

This mid-century modern home is in the sought-after Tahquitz River Estates neighbourhood, home to vintage shops and a variety of restaurants. Downtown Palm Springs is just a short drive away, too, with all of its cultural attractions. So, that’s the location – the home itself has a resort-style pool and Jacuzzi framed by views of the San Jacinto Mountains. The grounds feature fruit trees, including fig, mandarin, and pomegranate, and the outdoor kitchen is the place to prepare alfresco lunches. Inside, the two living rooms, furnished with designer pieces, ensure there’s plenty of space to unwind. We particularly love the one with the working fireplace. This home is designed for relaxation.

Desert Calm

More than a place to stay, this Palm Springs home will make you want to unpack and settle in for good. 

From the majestic mountain views and peaceful garden to the private pool and spacious rooms, every detail evokes the laid-back spirit of California living. 

Enjoy early morning swims, long soaks in the hot tub, lazy afternoons on a lounger and magical evenings gathered around the fire pit. Your host can also arrange a variety of luxurious extras, including a private chef or poolside massage – elevating your stay to the height of bliss. And when you’re ready to sink into sleep, you’ll find the three bedrooms provide a wonderful sense of sanctuary. 

Located in Los Compadres, it’s just a short drive to the restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries of Palm Canyon Drive, while you’ll also find easy access to hiking and bike trails as well as nearby golf courses. 

Desert Dream

Surrounded by wide open spaces and with unobstructed views of the San Jacinto mountains, this is a truly luxurious retreat. Spend a day lounging by your private pool, or unwind in the waterfall spa after a long hike. Glass walls wrap around the home, making for beautiful views from most rooms, and there's a great balance of indoor and outdoor living. With a barbecue, wet bar, outdoor TV and ample seating space, you have everything you need  at home, but when you do feel like venturing out, there’s a whole host of restaurants and shops a short drive away. And with four grand suites to choose from, there won't be any squabbling over rooms.


Mojo Pin

From the mountain vistas to the uplifting interiors, this mid-century hideaway perfectly embodies the spirit of southern California living.

Sitting peacefully in Tahquitz Creek Legend Golf Resort, days can be spent playing rounds of golf, following nearby hiking and cycle trails or simply relaxing in your own private oasis. From leisurely swims in the saltwater pool and long soaks in the jacuzzi to lazy afternoons swaying in the hammock and fun-filled barbecue meals, this is a wonderful setting for a restorative retreat. And when the sun begins to set, you’ll find the outdoor fire welcoming you to get together and watch the stars fill the sky. 

Inside, the open-plan living room provides a cosy spot for movie nights, while the four spacious bedrooms have everything you could need for a peaceful night’s rest. 

For explorations further afield, it’s a short stroll to Palm Canyon Drive while the heart of Downtown Palm Springs is just a short drive away. 

The Slow 

Pow! This Mid-Century Modern house certainly has visual impact. From kitsch gold taps in the bathroom to the African nick-nacks adorning every surface in the living room, its style is best described as “more is more”. Every care has been taken to preserve this home in its original 1950s glamour, when its owner ran the famed Chi Chi Lounge, frequented by celebrity clientele who’d pop over to his house for Sunday brunch. You can easily imagine Frank Sinatra propped up at the private bar in the lounge, or sipping a cocktail by the kidney-shaped pool outside. Why not channel Ol’ Blue Eyes with a singsong around the piano after a day exploring all that Palm Springs has to offer. The restaurants and shops of East Palm Canyon Drive are within walking distance and it's a short drive to downtown.  

After Hours

Immerse yourself in the laidback spirit of Palm Springs from your luxurious villa. Blending a futuristic style with classic Palm Springs characteristics, this chic home will feel like your own private resort. With a shimmering pool, jacuzzi, putting green, and bocce ball set, it ticks everything off the Southern Californian wish list. Not to mention the panoramic mountain scenery – the perfect view while you catch the sun from your tanning deck. 

Palm Springs is laced with a tinge of 80s Hollywood nostalgia, and you can certainly feel that here. If not for the opulent interior and luxurious gardens, then for the iconic Pacman machine. Work on beating each other’s high score, when you’re not lounging by the pool, that is. 

After a few drinks around the chic outdoor sofa, fire up the barbecue for a grilled feast. And when day turns to dusk, the best seat in the house to appreciate the sunset is around the atmospheric fire pit. Sip on glasses of Californian wine while the sky dims into the shades of purple and pink.

If you never wanted to leave this slice of heaven, we’d get it. But although you feel secluded, you’re in a great location for exploring Palm Springs, whether that’s by hiking through the canyons, cycling down the valleys, or walking around the palm tree-fringed streets. 

Flamingos & Polka Dots

This home sits right on the fairway of Escena Golf Club, framed by the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains. Inside, it’s bright and contemporary, with a stylish open-plan living space that spills onto a sun-soaked patio, complete with a private pool, built-in hot tub, barbecue, and alfresco dining area. Not into golf? You’re just a five-minute drive from the vibrant restaurants, boutique shops, and bars of Palm Canyon Drive, or you can lace up your hiking boots and explore the scenic trails winding through the surrounding desert landscape.

Fairway Views

Big blue skies and mountain views make this home in Palm Springs an especially scenic place to stay. The outdoor area is instantly inviting, with its sun-kissed swimming pool, luxurious firepit, and shaded daybed that’s ideal for a siesta. Moving inside, you’ll find ample room to get comfy – the space is spread over the main house and a separate annexe, offering flexibility for families or a group getaway. And with downtown eateries and entertainment within easy walking distance, you won’t need to go far to discover more of this desert city.

Vivid Desert

Just off Dean Martin Drive, you'll find this gated greenbelt oasis in the middle of the desert. Set within seven and a half acres of immaculately landscaped grounds, wide walkways lead to small lakes with fountains, plus a couple of nearby tennis courts. Inside this vast hacienda-style home, there's plenty of room for socialising inside and out. The heated pool and spa are the headline attractions, but you've got plenty of options, whether you're dining, seeking a shaded siesta spot, or looking for a corner to curl up with a book. The beautiful poolside stone patio continues inside, blurring the lines between the two areas and leading you into the beautiful single-storey space. The interior is decorated in bright, neutral tones to maximise the natural light and offset the hardwood kitchen and bathroom cabinets, topped with reassuringly hefty marble. Despite the feeling of privacy and seclusion afforded by your gated community, you're only a fifteen-minute drive from Downtown Palm Springs – perfect for when you fancy indulging in some retail therapy or a gourmet experience in one of its celebrated restaurants.

Let the Good Times In

Calling all golfers – this home in Cathedral City puts the fairways within easy reach. It's set in a golf community with views of the surrounding mountains. We love how bright the living area is, not to mention the sense of space here. Grown-ups can unwind with a glass of wine in front of the fire, while a handy second lounge is perfect for kids. There's also a patio facing a small lake, ideal for evening barbecues. Keen to explore? Hiking trails await in the Coachella Valley, and shops, restaurants, and bars in Palm Springs are a short drive away.
